how to insert greek characters and mathematical symbols into textes?

• Jane Wang

  This should give you a good starting point.
  
  Start a new project and add a combobox, then paste the following code.
  
  For x = 1 To 65535
  
  ComboBox1.Font = New Font("Arial Unicode MS", 15)
  
  ComboBox1.Items.Add(ChrW(x) & " = " & x.ToString("X4"))
  Next

  Thank you William

  With a little patience I found my greek characters.

  I finished using them this way:

  Dim rho As Char = ChrW(Convert.ToInt32("03c1", 16))

  etc. but you know certainly better than me what to do after...

  A last point: How can I display a number as the exponant part of the power

  If there is a solution in the unicode char set , then I missed it!

  I thank you for you help

  Hi Simeao,

  As I was very happy with William's answer, I 'appreciate your answer too.

  The first URL gives immediatly a view of the symbols and it is therefore easier to work with.

  By the way, do you have an idea on how to display an exponent

  Best Regards,

  Chris

  The character table is the ASCII Character Codes Chart 2
  in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9hxt0028(VS.80).aspx

  alfa is Char(224)

  And the Char use is in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/613dxh46.aspx

  This should create the table in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9hxt0028(VS.80).aspx.
  
  For x = 128 To 255
  
  ComboBox1.Font = New Font("Arial Unicode MS", 15)
  
  ComboBox1.Items.Add(ChrW(x) & " = " & x.ToString("X4"))

  How to print that table in a Form1 and in a printer using VB2005 Express Edition

  When a list on a Form, I can test the Font type.

  When I send it to a printer, I can test if the printer is the correct model.

  Thanks.

  I use

  Exponent: 12³

  The 12 and the 3 is in size 14: in Word (Format / Font), I only change the font (sobrescrito, in portuguese). In VB this works too.

  I admit that changing the font will do the trick.

  But how do I do this

  VB doesn't provide with the Format function as Word does.

  If I could find a subscript (I guess it is equivalent to sobrescrito in portuguese) it would be great...)

  Can you please precise in more details how do you do this in a VB source code

  Best Regards
