Does anyone know how to change the defalut WixUI_Font_Title? I don't want to add all the forms to my WiX project just to give their title a new text style.
The WixUI_Font_Title text style is just defined in *.wxs which describe the UI elements, but it is only used in *.wxl files where the titles are kept for various languages. So, if I were you I would go the following way:
define the text style you need in your WiX sources, e.g. WixUI_NewFont_Title
author a custom en-us WXL file, which includes all texts that reference the desired title font
repeat the previous step for each languages you have to support

My text message is stuck to "Install My Product to:"
How can I change this?
("My Product" is the name of my product and the string above is resolved based on the Name attribute in my Product.wxs).
I have 2 dialogs and the second requires a different message.
Some text on the built-in dialogs can be changed with variables specified in the localization file for your language. This is a simpler task than if you are trying to change text that is not kept in a variable.
This process is documented here.
However, if that's the case, the recommended way to change the dialog on the install page is to make a copy of and change the template file(s) provided with the WiX installation.
Copy the relevant .wxs files from your WiX dialog extension set (you will need to make sure you installed the WiX source) you want to modify and copy the file that specifies the UI extension name. Modify it to suit your needs and change the names.
When you compile your installer, you will use your new extension name (referring to your modified dialog set) and tell candle/light where your modified .wxs files are.
This process has some good documentation here and here.
Following the entire tutorial at the second link should get you pretty far.
Good luck
I am creating a docx with 2 rich text controls and 1 picture control. I open content control toolkit, create 1 custom xml part, type in the xml and bind xml tags to the content controls. I save the mapping and close it. When I reopen the docx, I see 3 custom xml parts created. All 3 with all the content controls. I am surprised why it would do that. As a result, when I apply the bindings using docx4j API, the data gets updated in the last custom xml part. Guess the output docx only shows the first custom xml part and hence I dont see any bound values. When I unzipped the docx and looked at the contents, I see that the last cutom xml part has been updated with the values, I set using the docx4j code. Am I doing anything different that makes content control toolkit create the extra custom xml parts? Please let me know.
If you look at the w:dataBinding elements, do they each have the same #w:storeItemID values?
Given your description, you'd expect a different value for each content control. If that's the case, docx4j should respect that. That is, it ought to use whatever is in the three custom XML parts. (The standard code for first injecting the XML will only inject it into one part though)
As a general comment, most docx4j users (me included) would use an OpenDoPE AddIn, not the content control toolkit, so I can't comment on its behaviour.
I have imported a Less style that a developer had recommended on this website, but there is a slight problem - it is made for specific themes only.
Without editing any XML files, is there any way to get this language file working regardless of theming? Like the built-in languages.
Language file working regardless of the theme – as far as I know the answer is no. Also check here.
If you do not want to edit XML files, you can still change colors by selecting Define your language... item in menu Language and change the colors of syntax categories using color pickers.
Adding your language into list of built-in languages is not easily possible unless you wish to play with N++ sources. You are supposed to use user-defined languages for standard tasks. However you can:
disable all unnecessarly languages in Language menu section in Preferences window and uncheck the Make language menu compact so you will get flat list of languages in menu.
access your language menu item faster by pressing Alt+L, then 2×Up and Enter
I'm developing a new function to "my" program. This function is able to write PDF files by the simple way, making a simple text file with some codes of PDF standard.
I'm trying to understand how it works yet, but my first problem is about how to apply bold on some line of my document.
I've already downloaded the PDF REFERENCES GUIDE, but I've not found nothing about it.
Any idea?
PDF is not like HTML where you can apply formatting tags for emphasis. As you've read in the PDF reference, all that you do in PDF is to setup a graphics environment (colours used, fonts used, etc) and then put text on the page.
If you want to have something show in bold, use a font that is bold. If you want to have something show in italic, use a font that is italic.
Older software used dirty tricks to create "bold-alike" text, but the good (and easy) way to do it is to make sure you select the correct font before you start drawing text.
I'm trying to export text retrieved from a database into a word document in VB.Net and while I have a working example, I need to figure out how to style some sections of the document appropriately.
I have found a few working examples from MS Online resources (such as this one), which I've found can cover some basics:
para.Range.Text = "Quad Chart"
para.Range.Style = "Heading 1"
para.Range.Bold.Font = True
But it doesn't cover even some of the simplest of formatting such as:
How you align the text (left, right, center)?
How you specify letting?
How do you start a list style?
What I'm trying to find is either a straight answer to these or (even better), a definitive list of the commands that would allow most any formatting.
Also, I would prefer not using Spire, which seems to be a common answer.
Thanks!
The VBA object model describes all the classes, their methods and properties that you can use for the marking up of content.
Your suggestion to use styles is strongly recommended as a way of separating your code from the presentation. Create a document template (.dot or .dotx, depending on Word version) and attach this to your documents. Then, when the document is opened, it will inherit layout and presentation from the template and be correctly rendered.
The list creation is a little intricate as you will need to restart the list if you are using numbering.
If you are interested in a completely different approach, you can look at Applying an XSLT Transform in the Microsoft Office Word 2003 XML Software Development Kit. This describes how to generate XML documents and using XSL transforms to describe the presentation. More general, but definitely more complex to set up.
Your preferred approach will depend on whether you want to generate native documents with a template, or to require your users to install the transform using the tools in the SDK.
So, you have a few examples. Office VBA is a cut down version of VB6, so why not record some macros in Word, open the VB editor and look at what it does. It's also the easiest way to navigate the help on the Word object model.
