RichTextBox line heights

Does anybody know a way to get the heights of the various lines of text in a
RichTextBox?

I'm not sure if "height" is the proper term. But what I'm getting at is
that if you set the
font size of some selected text on a line the entire line "height" expands
to the new font
size.

I want that!

Thanks in advance,
Eric

use GetPositionFrom CharIndex method.

you must know the index of your carrage return. for example, if your text is
"hello\nwor d" :
lineHeight=myRi chText.GetPosit ionFromCharInde x(6).Y-myRichText.GetP ositionFr
omCharIndex(5). Y;

Hope it helps.

I have a RichTextBox called rtbOutput. I am adding lines of text using the AppendText method. What I want to do is immediately after adding this line of text make sure that this line of text is displayed, effictively scrolling to the last line of the text box all the time. Can anyone help as I cannot seem to find a way to do this. Thanks

I have a thread adding lines of text to a richtextbox on my windows form about every 1 second. I want the last line of text to always be visible, which it is until the box gets filled up. The last line is always visible if the cursor is on the richtextbox, But if I'm working on another richtextbox on the form, the one that is continually getting text doesn't scroll down automatically. Is there any way to get it to automatically show the...

Hi, I'm using a RichTextBox with WordWrap=True and MultiLine=False. When the text is to long, it fills more lines. How do I get the number of lines the text uses? Thanks!

I searched high and low for an answer on how to auto scroll a richtextbox and now I finally have it. Since it took me a while to get a good efficient way of doing it that didn't require focus to the control or the scrolltocaret method I decided that it would be worth posting to anyone who might have similar concerns. For the record this works well in an environment where you cannot have focus going to the richtextbox....such as a chat...

I have text files and I get binary offsets of text portion of these files from VB6 program with RichTextBox. I use VB.Net 2003 and need to select and highlight the text between given offsets.

How do I translate real binary offsets to richtextbox offsets ? To reproduce: I have placed a text box...

Hello, I have a multiline RichTextBox that I use for data logging. I'm concerned about how the AppendText method reacts when over time the maximum number of characters have been added. Do the oldest characters it contains start rolling off the top into the bit bucket, does it simply start silently ignoring appends until some characters, are deleted, or does some kind of exception get thrown? I've heard numerous opinions on what the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
