Formatting String...

[Ashish Gupra]

hi,

I have following code:

 
Dim strTest1 as String = "World is not Enough"
Dim strTest2 as String = "Hello! World"
 
Me.TextBox1.Text = strTest1 & strTest2
 

Now i want to set 'strTest1' as bold and italic. But String class have no such property.

Can any one help me?

Regards,
Ashish

I'm sure there is a better solution to this but here you go anyway:

textbox.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial",11, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold);

this uses the standard system fonts, you always must specify a style.
There is an overload that accets (string, system.drawing.fontStyle), but for some reason my compiler wont let me use this override, so i just added the font size as well.

hope this helps you

hi,

thanks for reply...

But this is not what i wants. I do not want to bold TextBox1.Text. I just want to manipulate my first string only (i.e. set bold and italic etc.).

I think that you will have to use a RichTextBox for this.
