SyntaxEditor font size and line height problem

SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Hi,

I have a TextBox and a SyntaxEditor on a form.

I set the same font using the following code:

 

syntaxEditor1.MinimumDisplayLineHeight = 0;

var f1 = newFont(aFontName, aFontSize);

var f2 = newFont(aFontName, aFontSize);

textBox1.Font = f1;

syntaxEditor1.Font = syntaxEditor1.LineNumberMarginFont = syntaxEditor1.UserMarginFont = f2;

 

I'd like the two controls have exactly the same appearance. Is it possible?

Now line height in syntaxeditor is greater or less than textbox line height depending by font name/size.

Could yuo help me, please? Thank you.

Hello, what font family and size are you using so that we can take a look?

I'd like to have the same appearance using all fonts, but you can try Verdana 10pt, Times New Roman 10pt, Microsoft Sans Serif 10pt, ...

Hi Mauro,

I debugged this and the problem appears to be that the Font height passed to us by .NET is larger than the line height that a native TextBox ends up rendering at with the same font.  Since our code uses that font height as a minimum, we can't really work around this issue.  Sorry... perhaps you could use a monospace font in the SyntaxEditor version so the difference isn't as apparent.
