The open/save and new file dialog works perfectly but now how can I do that when I click on button the size of the letters to write will be 20?If you can please write here the code.I know my English is bad but I'm trying to talk

Thanks in advance.

Add a numeric up down control to your form, and fill in the values for the size of the text you want them to be able to use. Detect when the value of the numeric updown changes and change the text size of your rich text box accordingly.

Sorry but I didn't undertand.
I have a textbox not a richtextbox.
Is possible to do this in a textbox?
If yes can you write here the code?

Sorry and thanks in advance

yes it is possible, simply set the textbox's Font property to a new Font that's a larger size

Look into the TextBox class and the Font class at MSDN

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...trol.font.aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...wing.font.aspx

so you would want to do something like:
TextBox1.Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 12, FontStyle.Regular)
or
TextBox1.Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 14, FontStyle.Regular)

[NPassero]

Dim fontSize as Integer = 12
 
public sub buttonUP() handles button1.click
   fontSize += 1 
   textbox1.Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", fontSize, FontStyle.Regular)
end sub
 
public sub buttonDown() handles button2.click
   fontSize -= 1
   textbox1.Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", fontSize, FontStyle.Regular)
end sub

to change the size up and down using buttons
*dont copy as is

you can just do on a button click

textbox1.Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 20, FontStyle.Regular)

If you're imitating WordPad then presumably you are using a RichTextBox and you want to format only part of the text. In that case it would look like this:

myRichTextBox.SelectionFont = New Font(myRichTextBox.SelectionFont.FontFamily, newSizeHere, my.RichTextBox.SelectionFont.Style)

Note that things get complex when you have already formatted two sections differently, then you select part of each section and try to format them as one block. You can lose some formatting on one or both blocks depending on the circumstances.
