Hi,
Is there a way to force Graphics.drawstring() method to display Hindi
numbers when printing?
Just ask it to. The Devanagari numerals are unicode characters 0966
through 096F. Be sure to use a font that contains these characters,
such as Arial Unicode. Example: Create a new Windows Forms app, put a
picturebox on the form, add this code:
Private Sub PictureBox1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) _
Handles PictureBox1.Paint
Dim deva_digits As Char() = New Char(9) {}
For i As Integer = 0 To 9
deva_digits(i) = ChrW(&H966 + i)
Next
Dim output As String = deva_digits(1) & deva_digits(2) & _
deva_digits(3) & "+" & deva_digits(4) & deva_digits(5) & _
deva_digits(6) & "=" & deva_digits(5) & deva_digits(7) & _
deva_digits(9)
Using unifont As Font = New Font("Arial Unicode", 14)
With e.Graphics
.DrawString(output, unifont, Brushes.Black, 0, 0)
End With
End Using
End Sub
I changed the locale settings of the Regional Options to an Arabic
lang. but no luck.
If what you actually mean is that you want to produce Devanagari digits
when output characters "0" through "9", I suspect this isn't going to
happen.
