point me to information regarding getting font metrics from a true type font in C#? I need to split some text from an RSS feed for a given box height and width.
I've checked System.Drawing.Font and GetHeight is there but how do I get the width of a character?
I understand each character is rendered as a glyph but not sure which class will get the width of the character?
Is it possible to change the font and font size of the data in the dropdown of a Combobox?
I've tried;
.CustomComboBoxStyle .ajax__combobox_itemlist li {
width: 150px;
font-family:Verdana;
font-size:smaller;
}
and setting the CssClass to it, but doesn't affect the font. I can adjust the width of the dropdown object, but I need to change that gawd awful font.
I use this class for my DropDownList
.DPCDDL {
float:left;
width:200px;
height:20px;
margin-top:1px;
font:bold 12px Tahoma;
}
In my dropdownlist just selected item font be (bold 12px)
I want that all item that are in my dropdownlist font be bold 12px how i can do it?
Just upgraded from SSRS 2005 to 2008 (on a test server). I have a report with a list and in this list are about a dozen fields in textboxes whose fonts are all set to Verdana 8pt. When I run the report from the Report Manager, one of the 12 fields is displaying in a serif font (like Times New Roman) at around 12pt. When I preview the report in Visual Studio every field looks fine and when I run the same report in SSRS 2005 every field looks fine. Has to be a SSRS 2008 bug!
View 3 Repliesthere is two properties under font area for web control What is use of Names as Name set the value of font.
View 2 RepliesMy published site's pages appear to be unformatted, i.e. incorrect font type and sizes as well as objects that are not correctly aligned and of incorrect width when browsing the site with IE10. On my development platform, Windows 7 Professional using Visual Studio 2010 Professional, running in debug mode and also using IE10 the entire site appears perfectly formatted.
I've already confirmed that all CSS files and the relevant connection strings area correct and ensured that the font being used is installed on the hosting platform.I just used my MacBook and browsed the published web site using IE 9, Chrome and Safari - the site displayed and functioned 100%. I repeated the same test using Safari on iOS and again had perfect results. It thus appears that the problem relates to IE10.
I'm drawing labels to an image file. It all works perfectly, except the font size.
gfx.DrawString(
thisTempLabel.LabelText,
new System.Drawing.Font(
thisTempLabel.LabelFont,
(float)thisTempLabel.fontSize
),
Brushes.Black,
new PointF(thisTempLabel.x, thisTempLabel.y)
);
Problem is my users pick font sizes in PX, and System.Drawing.Font requires an EM size. I don't know how to resolve this. Can I render the text using pixels?
I have a gridview on my page which is bound to a data table and displays search results. In the RowDataBound event I have the following code to handle row selection -
Code:
e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(gvResults, "Select$" + e.Row.RowIndex.ToString()))
e.Row.Style.Add("cursor", "pointer")
e.Row.Attributes.Add("onmousedown", "MouseEvents(this, event)")
On the page itself I have the following to change the fond of the selected row
[Code]....
The problem I have is if I do another search even though I clear the grid and rebind a row is still showing in the different font even though it hasn't actually been selected. How do I ensure all rows are in the same font on binding to the gridview?
Using Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition I get the following error:
Property 'Font' is 'ReadOnly'.
on the line:
Me.lblOut.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Sans Serif", 26, FontStyle.Regular)
From all of the examples of setting the font this way I rather thought that the font property wasn't read only. Sooo.....
How do I dynamicly set the label font property?
I have a font I downloaded and I'm trying to apply that font to my site.
so I simply used font-family but my font isn't there(obviously)
I have an asp.net page with an asp.net menu.
I defined the font in the menu items to be Myriad Pro.
In IE and Firefox it appears normally, but in Safari the menu items appear blank.
when I changed the font type to another font it worked fine.
so is there a way to make the Myriad Pro font appear on Safari.
I am using:
dg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
dg.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Beige;
to set the background and foreground color of a DataGrid. How can I change the font to say Calibri or any others using the built-in methods.
I have a label that I am adding dynamically and I would like it to be a custom Font (I know this font works in many browswers because its the default to our companies website).I want to change the font to "Palatino Linotype" but am unsure as to how this is possible. I thought it would be as simple as: Label1.Font = "Palatino Linotype"; however, this is not the case.
I have trie:
Font Palatino_Linotype = new Font("Palatino Linotype", 12);
Label24.Font = Palatino_Linotype;
I get the error before compile:
Cannont implicitly convert type 'System.Drawing.Font' to 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.FontInfo'.
I'm using a special font in my website i wanna know how to show it to users or dowload it to user fonts in page load

That's my CSS above. Unfortunately, the Menu text still shows the hyperlink-blue color instead of White. However, if I putForeColor="White", then it works. I'd rather not do that. I'd like to be able to set it with CSS. HTML below.

I'm trying to learn ASP.NET 3.5 from a book using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express. I've come across a curiosity. The book had me create a Label control and wanted me to change some of the Font properties. I went to the Properties window and saw a heading for Font with a plus sign next to it. I click on the plus sign and the sub-properties for font appear. So far, so good.
When I did the next exercise in the book, it had me create a new Web page with another Label control, and it wanted me to change the Font property again. But, this time when I went to the Properties window, I did not see a Font heading with a plus sign. I simply saw all of the Font sub-properties.
i've the following code in aspx page
<asp:Label ID="CittaLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Citta") %>' Font-Size='<%# ReturnFontSize(Eval("Big")) %>'/>
and this is my code behind service function
Protected Function ReturnFontSize(ByVal Big As Boolean) As FontUnit
If Big Then
ReturnFontSize = FontSize.Medium
Else
ReturnFontSize = FontSize.Small
End If
End Function
But i get always a font very very small. So my question is : for changing "Font-Size" proprety of a control, from code behind, which return type i have to use, assuming that FontUnit not work?
On the MasterPage.Master i set the the font size in my webpage <body onload="checkCookie()">
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="javascript:decFontSize();" class="minus"></a></li>
<li><a href="javascript:defaultFontSize();" class="default"></a></li>
<li><a href="javascript:incFontSize();" class="plus"></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
and here is the associated Javascript
var min = 11;
var max = 18;
function checkCookie(){
var FontSize=getCookie('FontSize');
if (FontSize!=null && FontSize!="")
{var p = document.getElementsByTagName('p');
for (i = 0; i < p.length; i++)
{p[i].style.fontSize = FontSize + "px"}}
else {
{
var p = document.getElementsByTagName('p');
for (i = 0; i < p.length; i++)
{ p[i].style.fontSize = FontSize + "px" }
}
setCookie('FontSize', 13, 365);
}
}
function getCookie(c_name) {
if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
c_start = document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=");
if (c_start != -1) {
c_start = c_start + c_name.length + 1;
c_end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", c_start);
if (c_end == -1) c_end = document.cookie.length
return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start, c_end));
}
}
return ""
}
function setCookie(c_name, value, expiredays) {
var exdate = new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + expiredays);
document.cookie = c_name + "=" + escape(value) + ((expiredays == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + exdate.toUTCString());
}
function defaultFontSize() {
var p = document.getElementsByTagName('p');
for (i = 0; i < p.length; i++)
{ p[i].style.fontSize = 13 + "px" }
setCookie('FontSize', 13, 365);
}
function incFontSize() {
var p = document.getElementsByTagName('p');
for(i=0;i<p.length;i++) {
if(p[i].style.fontSize) {
var s = parseInt(p[i].style.fontSize.replace("px",""));
} else {
var s = 11;
}
if(s!=max) {
s += 1;
}
p[i].style.fontSize = s+"px"
}
setCookie('FontSize',s,365);
}
function decFontSize() {
var p = document.getElementsByTagName('p');
for(i=0;i<p.length;i++) {
if(p[i].style.fontSize) {
var s = parseInt(p[i].style.fontSize.replace("px",""));
} else {
var s = 11;
}
if(s!=min) {
s -= 1;
}
p[i].style.fontSize = s+"px"
}
setCookie('FontSize',s,365);
}
The problem with the following code above that on every post the text size "flashes". By saying flashes i mean that it first is displayed with the default size (13px) and then is set to the value set by the cookie.
Why does server.transfer sometimes change the font of the destination page?
View 9 RepliesI have the following list of fonts:I have no issues with using them vianew Font("XXXX Sans", 21, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Pixel)However, what do i do when i need to use a non-standard font style like light? All that is provided is an enumeration and that is not suitable.
View 1 RepliesIn looking at the constructors for the System.Drawing.Font class there is a parameter to pass in one of the FontStyles defined in the System.Drawing.FontStyle enum.
ie.
Bold
Italic
Regular
Underline
and there are boolean properties for Bold, Italic, Underline etc. in the instantiated object, but they are read only.
What if I want to define my font to have multiple styles like Bold and Underline?
