Need to change font size

Question

I need a function which will check for a string in a text. (May be label/textbox text).

The function should check if a particular text exist in it, then if found it should make it bold.

How this should be done?

Answer 1

EDIT: This answer applies to WinForms only.

The Label control does not allow partial formatting - which means that each formatting style you apply will affect the whole string.

The RichTextBox component allows you to do partial formatting - i.e applying a style on a specific word in the text.

More on RichTextBox can be found here

Answer 2

Here i found an answer that its possible (offcourse it is, almost everything is possible, haha :P).

Make portion of a Label's Text to be styled bold

Answer 3

Assuming you mean ASP.NET then such code will work:

string myString = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
string textToReplace = "fox";
myString = myString.Replace(textToReplace, "<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">" + textToReplace + "</span>");

Then apply the string as Text of a label. You can't make text bold inside textbox.

The above example will make the word fox bold.

Answer 4

Lets, suppose the Label variable is label,

You can do if using desktop application,

**if(label.Text != string.Empty)
{
 label.Font.Bold = true;
}**

and if you are using Asp.Net you have to do it using javascript if want to do it on the client side.

If you want to make portion od a label text bold, it is not allowed by the framework, rather you could take multiple labels for that.
