VB Syntax, Labels and registered trademark symbol

Labels and registered trademark symbol

Author	Message
Brad Ston #1 / 12	Labels and registered trademark symbol Hi, I'm using VB5...is there anyway to put a registered trademark symbol (an 'R' with circle around it) inside a standard label? Or do I have to use a .gif and a picture box? Thanks, Brad Stone The Salinon Corp.

Gordon Durnel #2 / 12	Labels and registered trademark symbol You can easily cut and paste the appropriate character using Character Map (Start \| Programs \| Accessories \| System Tools \| Character Map). Start Character Map, select the font you are using for the label, double-click the character, then click Copy. Go to VB and paste the character into the label (Ctrl-V). Just be sure the font you are using has the symbol you need. Perhaps there is a better keyboard shortcut for this??? -- Gordon Durnell Applied Digital Solutions of Missouri Quote: > Hi, > I'm using VB5...is there anyway to put a registered trademark symbol > (an 'R' with circle around it) inside a standard label?

Rick Rothstei #4 / 12	Labels and registered trademark symbol Two things. First, to make that work you must precede the 169 with zero; hence, Alt-0169. Second, 0169 is the copyright symbol. The registered symbol (which you displayed in your post) is entered with Alt-0174. To Brad -- Remember, this only works if the numbers are entered from the keypad.

CyberAce #5 / 12	Labels and registered trademark symbol Rick, Probably my computer is different from yours. Alt-169 shows to me ? (capital R in a circle), while Alt-174 shows ? (double arrow left). Or, more likely, you are using a different font (Arial in use here). No need for me to use Alt-0169, Alt-169 does it correctly, as it has done for many years (which makes sense, as the ASCII character set has 255 entries).

Rick Rothstei #7 / 12	Labels and registered trademark symbol I'm confused. I just looked a couple of dozen fonts - both standard (Arial included) and decorative using the Character Map program supplied with Windows. In every case, ASCII 169 was the copyright symbol and ASCII 174 was the capital R in a circle. I also copied your capital R in a circle symbol from your post, went into VB to the Immediate Window and tried Print Asc("? "), where the capital R in a circle symbol was pasted in from the Clipboard. It printed 174, not 169. Also, on my computer, and in previous ones I've owned, the leading zero was absolutely necessary (hence Alt-0169 and not Alt-169 from the number keypad). If I leave it out, I don't get the expected character, just a "short" looking underline bar instead (for the two fonts I tried it out on). I just did it again to reconfirm this (with a third font); are you sure you can get it to occur without the leading zero? I'm in the US, what country are you located in? Can anyone out there confirm either or both of the above? Rick Quote: > Rick, > Probably my computer is different from yours. Alt-169 shows to me ? (capital > R in a circle), while Alt-174 shows ?

Brad Ston #8 / 12	Labels and registered trademark symbol Thanks. I originally tried that approach because it works in other applications (old PDS for DOS)...but I couldn't get it to work in VB. It turns out I didn't have the NUM LOCK on! After I did that, I had to use Alt-0174 to get the registered trade mark symbol.

Rick Rothstei #9 / 12	Labels and registered trademark symbol I thought the Code Page was a DOS only setting. Regarding fonts and their characters set (especially the ones delivered with Windows), are you saying that, say, the Arial font here in the United States is different from the Arial font in, say, Russia?

Bill McCarth #10 / 12	Labels and registered trademark symbol Well, if I type in ALT169 I get _ (underscore) if I type ALT0169 I get ? (copyright) if I type ALT174 I get ? (<<) if I type ALT0174 I get ? (registered) but this all depends on your code page and regional settings. So the best way to get the ? into your app, and to be sure it stays there is as a picture, or ship the font with your app, otherwise it will depend on your settings versus end users settings.

CyberAce #11 / 12	Labels and registered trademark symbol Okay, let's try: ALT-169 gives: ? (R in circle) ALT-0169 gives ? (C in circle) ALT-174 gives ? (double arrow left) ALT-0174 gives ? (R in circle) Now I'm confused too :-) Are we both right? What's the mechanism behind this behavior? FYI, I'm from The Netherlands, using Dutch Windows 98, with the codepage set to 850 (but that's for DOS only?), keyboard layout to US International. John Quote: >Thanks.

V. Koro #12 / 12	Labels and registered trademark symbol In first half (latin) no, in second yes. But copyright and registered in many russian fonts are the same. There is no, AFAIK, common standard for the second half of the ANSI character set and respectively for fonts. Vlad Quote: >I thought the Code Page was a DOS only setting.
