Visual Basic 2005 and MSWord Rule Bar

Visual Basic 2005 and MSWord Rule Bar

• rosswashere

  Thank you ve3ry much. Now here is the second question. If I create a form, add a text box and then add this snippet in. Will it load the vertical ruler and the horizontal ruler
  

• Abulafia

  Yes, this level of detail does make a difference...

  This is a VSTO forum - VSTO is a special sub-set of the .NET Framework. Your question is definitely not VSTO-related, so you're less likely to get a good answer, here.

  You should try asking in a group that specializes in Windows Forms questions. There are a couple of controls available that can be embedded in a Windows form to display a Word document (act as an OLE container); I've seen it discussed, but have never attempted it, personally.

  I believe this helps, but mabye I am not giving enough information.

  I am working with visual basic 2005. I select a basic windows form and add a text box to it. I want the text box to automatically have the rulebar and crosshairs show up. The only other thing that I can think of would to have a MDI form and call MSword to open inside of it.

  Your know the ruler on the side of a microsoft word document It has the rulerand the cross hairs on it. I want to create a a text document that calls the rulebar. Please do not close this yet.
  

• Eldad Hertz

  I am referring to the ruler itself.

  Hi btobin0

  "Your know the ruler on the side of a microsoft word document It has the rulerand the cross hairs on it. I want to create a a text document that calls the rulebar."

  You mean, when the VSTO document is opened, it should make sure the vertical ruler is displayed Roughly, like this:

  Word.Window win = this.ActiveWindow;
  //Vertical ruler can only be displayed in Print View
  win.View.Type = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdViewType.wdPrintView;
  win.DisplayVerticalRuler = true;

  Hi

  I am not sure whether you are meaning the Ruler Bar There is no programming layer for this accept for adding tabs. Can you elaborate a little more on your question.

  Regards

  btobin0,

  I am assuming that you have resolved the issue. I will be closing this issue now. Please repost if you are still experiencing the issue.

  Thanks.

  Note that I'm not certain about the context you're going to be in, but, no the code line I gave you does not load the horizontal ruler, only the vertical ruler. To force display of the horizontal ruler you need, in addition

  win.DisplayRulers = True
