VB 2005 Text Box properties changes

[RaulSerr]

Just started using Visual Basic 2005 and I have a text box that I want to change some Properties using some registry entries. (User can change font, size, color and style). Problem is I keep getting 'value of type string cannot be converted to 'System.Drawing.Font' when I try to change font, size, color, and style on each property using my registry values (variables). I tried converting current vb6, but it's too buggy and cannot find any good examples in knowledge data base. Any help would be appreciated.

Post the code that is causing problems, however I am guessing that you have something like

dim RegFont AS String
 
REM code here to get font data from Registary into RegFont
 
TextBox.font = RegFont
 

where you need something like

dim RegFont AS String
 
REM code here to get font data from Registary into RegFont
 
TextBox.font = System.Drawing.Font(RegFont)
 

See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/sys...font.font.aspx

Thanks Banfa, this pointed me in the right direction. I've listed the completed working code hoping it might help someone else. Thanks again.

'Visual Basic 2005

Button Control


'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''
Dim RegFont As String
Dim RegSize As String

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Get the Regstry Font Settings
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''

REM code here to get font data from Registary into RegFont, RegSize
RegFont = GetSetting("My Database", "Options", "Font", """")
RegSize = GetSetting("My Database", "Options", "Font Size", """")
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''
If (RegFont <> "") Then
If (RegSize <> "") Then
' Create a new Font object Name and Size are required.
Dim f As New System.Drawing.Font(RegFont, RegSize)
' Assign the font to the control
TextBox1.Font = f
End If
End If

' Display formated text
TextBox1.Text = "AaBbCcDd12345!@#$%^&*()_+"
