Diffrent fonts in one label

[Roggey]

Hello

I'm using System.Windows.Forms.Label and I want to add some text, where
one or more words are bold or italic.

I tried it with html tags but does not work. Somewhere i did read it
should be done by html tags. I did it like this:
label1.Text="my <b>test</b> string";
In the output i can see the html tags.<

I hope someone can tell me how to do this.

Thanks

Roggey

Hi,

You cannot do this.

Not with the regular Label...

You have possibly seen that mentioned for the Java JLabel...

You can construct a Control of your own.

To give you a hint what you can do, here's a speedy hack, inheriting from a
RichTextBox:


class RTFLabel : System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox
{
public RTFLabel()
{
// Note! This control can't take "Transparent" as BackColor,
// So you'll have to make something of this...

this.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.InactiveBorder;
this.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.None;
this.ReadOnly = true;
}

public void Append(string text, Font f)
{
int length = text.Length;
int start = this.Text.Length;
this.AppendText(text);
this.Select(start, length);
this.SelectionFont = f;
this.Select(0,0);
}

public void Append(string text, FontStyle fs)
{
Font f = new Font(this.Font, fs);
this.Append(text, f);
}

public void AppendRegular(string text)
{
this.Append(text, FontStyle.Regular);
}
public void AppendBold(string text)
{
this.Append(text, FontStyle.Bold);
}
public void AppendItalic(string text)
{
this.Append(text, FontStyle.Italic);
}
public void AppendUnderline(string text)
{
this.Append(text, FontStyle.Underline);
}

public void AppendStrikeout(string text)
{
this.Append(text, FontStyle.Strikeout);
}
}
