String question

[Tmenke]

Is there a way to superscript a single character in a string
for example to show a number raised to a exponent ?

Eg

lblResult.Caption = " 52 in4 "

Where the 4 would be superscripted ?

Thanks for the advice

No, not using a Label (or TextBox for that matter). You can do what you
ask using a RichTextBox though.

With RichTextBox1
.Text = " 52 in4 "
' Select the character(s) to superscript
.SelStart = 6
.SelLength = 1
' Set the amount of offset in TWIPS
.SelCharOffset = 75
End With

I've heard of square inches and cubic inches. What, pray tell, are inches to the
4th power?

Just curious :)

The volume of a hyper-cube? Or maybe just a badly constructed example?

inches to the fourth power is common in the engineering field to model the
stiffness of a rigid body (Called the modulus of inertia). It is, in a
nutshell, used
to predict how much rotation a structural element will undergo when
subjected to
bending forces.

Thanks for the advice Rick. You had once helped me with another post
sometime ago
about passing an array to a function.

Question : Is the rich text box a standard control available in VB5 ? I
haven't used one
before and don't recall seeing one. And it's not in the handy little
toolbox. Could you tell
me how to use it "

In VB's IDE, click on Project/Components on the menu bar. Scroll down
the list and click on the CheckBox labeled "Microsoft Rich Textbox
Control", then click OK. That will add the RichTextBox to your toolbox.
As for how to use it... well, it is full-bodied control with lots of
properties, methods and events. Your best bet is to highlight the
control after it is placed on your form and press F1 to bring up the
help file for it. Then, start reading. Also, when the help files are
displayed, click on the Search tab, type in "richtextbox" (without the
quote marks) into the search field and click the "List Topics" button.
At minimum, read the item labeled "Using the Rich TextBox Control".

As an engineer myself this problem bugs me too. The work around that I
prefer for simplicity is to use a separate label with the single character
in a reduced size for my super and sub scripts. When printing to a printer
check that you have the scaling correct else the labels may drift away from
each other.

Just be careful with simple beam deflection or cantilevered calculations
(see post on weird things in VB 6). Has always been there and will always
be.

We don't want our buildings and bridges be flawed cause someone uses VB math

I might have guessed there would be some use for it in engineering. Thanks for
the explanation.

One more thing, do not forget to include the rich text box ocx when you
deploy your app.
It takes us a while to find that out when our app works in some clients' PC
but not others.

<Wa*****@IntelligenCIA.com> you typed some letters in random order:

That makes a great signature :)
