Tech Off - RichTextBox .NET FontStyle.Bold problem

mw5300 — Sat, 03 Dec 2005 23:48:48 GMT

"EDIT: It doesn't solve the multiple styles in one selection problem, though."

Is there a way to solve this problem? Basically I wan't it to respect if parts the selection are already bold, italic or underline and just toggle the bold italic or underline.

Thanks!

Tech Off - RichTextBox .NET FontStyle.Bold problem

mw5300 — Thu, 01 Dec 2005 20:29:38 GMT

Thanks, SimonJ.

Is there any way I can preserve all the formating of the text even if the selection spans some Italic text, and some Underlined text when I add bold? I'm looking for the MS Word style of changing Bold, Italic and Underline.

P.S. I don't know VB, I only know C#.

Thanks for your help,
Mark

Tech Off - RichTextBox .NET FontStyle.Bold problem

mw5300 — Thu, 01 Dec 2005 17:06:53 GMT

So I have this RichTextBox in a winforms app written in C#. I am trying to make some toolbar buttons change some selected text to bold, italic, or underline. Right now I am using some code that looks like this:
if (this.MainRichBox.SelectionFont != null)
                {
                    System.Drawing.Font currentFont = this.MainRichBox.SelectionFont;
                    System.Drawing.FontStyle newFontStyle;

                    if (this.MainRichBox.SelectionFont.Bold == true)
                    {
                        newFontStyle = FontStyle.Regular;
                        this.Bold.Checked = false;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        newFontStyle = FontStyle.Bold;
                        this.Bold.Checked = true;
                    }

                    this.MainRichBox.SelectionFont = new Font(
                       currentFont.FontFamily,
                       currentFont.Size,
                       newFontStyle
                    );
                }

That I call whenever I press the bold button(for example). My problem is that if I try to make some Italic text Bold, then it stops being Italic and becaomes bold. I want it to be both Bold and Italic when I click Bold on some selected Italic text.

Thanks,
Mark

Coffeehouse - RSS vs. ATOM?

mw5300 — Wed, 12 Oct 2005 14:43:10 GMT

To tell you the truth, I have never seen a reason to use atom over rss. I have heard allot of people make vague comments on how atom is better, but never any proof or examples. Also, one time I wanted to make a web program that generates feeds. So I went to the rss site and saw a sample document and the spec right there. The I went to the Atom site and couldn't find any simple way to learn how to use it. RSS is better because it is simply, it works, and it can be extended. I don't see any reason for MS to use Atom over RSS.

Coffeehouse - I'm back

It stands for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor. It's an open source scripting language similar to .Net. p.s. I didn't see your post, littleguru.

Coffeehouse - When does learning and developing become fun?

mw5300 — Sun, 09 Oct 2005 23:12:30 GMT

It's fun from the time you program the "hello, world" program. If your not having fun then your not a programmer . j/k of course. Sort of.

Coffeehouse - Learning C#

mw5300 — Wed, 07 Sep 2005 02:10:16 GMT

That book looks cool . Maybe I'll get the 2005 version when it comes out. Does anyone know of any free online resources? Also, I have MSDN, is there stuff on that?

Thanks!

Coffeehouse - Learning C#

mw5300 — Wed, 07 Sep 2005 01:34:05 GMT

I am mostly new to programming, however I have done a little PHP work (gasp!) in the past (I got up to objects). I am wondering what is the best way to go about learning C#? It seems most of the books, and tutorials are for Java programmers; I have never touched Java (hopefully I wont have to). Does anyone know of tutorials, books, or other good ways of learning C#?

Thanks guys,
Mark
