I'm creating a label dynamically, and then adding text to it dynamically (and the amount of text added to it will be different each time). So, the label needs to always be the same width as the text inside it.
This happens by default when creating a label in the Windows Designer. But when creating a label dynamically, it appears to be "set" at a specific width, regardless of how much text is in it (which means that it often "cuts off" some of the text).
So... any idea how I can get the dynamically created label to always stay the same width as the text inside it?
If you want to do it manually, you can do something like this, every time you change the text:
Dim g As Graphics = Label1.CreateGraphics()
Label1.Width = CInt(g.MeasureString(Label1.Text, Label1.Font).Width)
However, it's much easier to simply set the label's AutoSize property to True and let the label do the work for you.
Label1.AutoSize = True

I am trying to implement a 'Flag' w/ a menustrip.
I have an image list w/ a red flag and a black flag.
When I click the menu item, i want to toggle the image.
The problem I have is that once I change the image, it wants to do SizeToFit which makes the Icon roughly the height of text. I dont want that. I want the Image to be its actual size.
I have tried putting the statements in different orders, nothing i have tried seems to work.
Currently, I have the button set to the black flag at design time.
This code shows me trying to change to a Red flag.
tsbFlagPatient.Image = ilFlags.Images(1)
tsbFlagPatient.ImageScaling = ToolStripItemImageScaling.None
tsbFlagPatient.DisplayStyle = ToolStripItemDisplayStyle.Image
[If there is some better way to approach toggling the image, im open to that. That seems like a separate question. ]
I was unable to make ImageScrolling work.
Since I dont need text here, I used BackGround Image and set
BackgroundImageLayout = Stretch
This allows the images to be the right size.
You can turn AutoSize = false and then manually set Height, Width to fine tune your menu's size.
I did reconsider the ImageList and changed the images to being stored in the project Resources. This is the code to toggle the image
Public Sub SetFlagImage(flagSet As Boolean)
If flagSet = False Then
btnFlag.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.appbar_flag_wavy_black
btnFlag.BackgroundImage.Tag = "black"
Else
btnFlag.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.appbar_flag_wavy_red
btnFlag.BackgroundImage.Tag = "red"
End If
End Sub
This had no effect on the question posed here. In general, probably better than having an image list because all forms can access it.
I have a clip with 3 frames.
Every frame has a Dynamic Text object.
I need to change dynamically those text contents.
But... if I change the text, for example with instruction:
my.object.text = "new content";
I see in console log that this instruction take effect, but if I use the .gotoAndStop() to change the frame, the text inside my Dynamic Text objects come back to the original value (edited inside Adobe Animate).
There is a way to change it dynamically?
I'm trying to make (using Visual Basic) a rudimentary questionnaire that measures multiple attributes and stores their values in an array and afterwards measures the attributes on a scale of 1 to 10.Now I've had the dumb idea to use a label for every single value of every attribute, and highlighting the right number by changing the label's image to yellow, instead of white(basically making the area behind the number a different color).
Now here's the issue: I can't seem to find out how to change a label's background image with code, which is what I'm asking. (I'm guessing the command should look something like "Label1.image = >image path<")
Pretty simple.
If text = No then
Label.Text = No
Else
Label.Text = Yes
End IF
You just have to change the text value of the label which is .Text = Text you want
And if your trying to show images, you should use the image control in the tool box, not a label
Hi I have a button which will add a string in to a label. (this can be done multiple times.) As the user can add multiple strings with each one been a different length, is there anyway I can get it to find the length of the label and those around it so that it spaces out correctly?
Thanks
Label.Width will return the current width of the label control, but it sounds like you already know this. Since the label can be narrower than the text it is trying to display, you would need to measure the full text using the graphics object. This method will return the width of the text in a label:
Private Function getFullTextWidth(lbl As Label)
Using g As Graphics = Label1.CreateGraphics()
Return g.MeasureText(Label1.Text, Label1.Font).Width
End Using
End Function
Alternatively, you could just set the label's AutoSize property to true, and then just check the label's Width property after you set the Text.
I am creating rdlc report and i have issue that i got some bool type object fields and now i have to show checkboxes. but there is nothing i found for this solution to show checkboxes in table.
Is there anyone who know that how i can implement that thing?
Maybe you can put image there, depend on true or false, just display different pic. LOL
If checkbox is true I set Chr(254) else show unchecked checkbox using Chr(168).
Chr(254): This is decimal value for Wingdings character 254 its shows like checked check box image.
Chr(168): This is decimal value for Wingdings character 168 its shows like rectangle box like unchecked check box image.
I had a requirement that the checkboxes have a background color. I liked the simplicity of a text-based rather than image-based approach, so I used a variation of the popular Wingdings-font method: I used a small, square textbox with a thin border and the specified background color, set it to use a bold, sans-serif font, and used this expression for the text value:
=IIf(Fields!SomeBool.Value, "X", "")
If you still want a checkmark rather than an X, you can use Wingdings 2 font and this expression:
=IIf(Fields!SomeBool.Value, Chr(80), "")
In either case, you may have to adjust the font size and/or box size to keep the result square; my first take was taller than wide because it expanded vertically to accommodate the font.
Or you can set the textbox placeholder to render tags as html and then put this html in: Or you can set the Placeholder expression to support HTML and then set up the following html code:
<font face="Wingdings 2" color="green">#Html.Raw(((char)0x51).ToString())</font>
You should put in the character of the wingdings that you want.
This way, only part of the text can be wingdings.
Wingdings 2
Finally I got solution
here is the link download the project and run it.
http://uploading.com/files/2mmf34m8/Nestle%2BNew.rar/
i have developed class and then used list to set bool variable true/false. while on other hand i used image control in rdlc report To set image.
You just need to set image path which are already in image folder.
Cheers.
