Swift: Make part of text bold

 Hello everyone,

You may have encountered situations where you want to display part of your label's string as bold, while keeping the other part as normal.


It's very easy using an attributed string. Below is the code that you need to accomplish this.


let attrs = [NSAttributedString.Key.font : UIFont(name: <your custom font name>, size: <your font size>)]


let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:boldText, attributes:attrs as [NSAttributedString.Key : Any])


let normalText = normalText

let normalString = NSMutableAttributedString(string:normalText)


attributedString.append(normalString)

        


Now, set the attributed string to your UILabel instance.


E.g

someLabel.attributedText = attributedString


That's it. You can play around with this and see how you can achieve other results with the attributed Strings!

Encrypt and Decrypt Images Using Java

Hi, Most of you would find it useful to Encrypt a special picture of yours such that only you can view it. By using JCE(Java Cryptography Extension) classes, this becomes very simple. As I have already done before using Java to encrypt a String is very simple. If you are new to this, please read the article which I had already posted named "Java Encryption and Decryption" at "http://ruchiram4.blogspot.com/2009/04/java-encryption-and-decryption.html" Also, you need to have a basic understanding of Java IO. If you are new, it is better to read the Sun Java tutorial on IO. Before we move on, lets recall the basic steps in Encrypting plaintext. 1. Creating an instance of "Cipher" object and setting the mode of Encryption (Eg: AES, DES) 2. Generating a key by using a KeyGenerator object. 3. Setting the mode of Cipher operation on the Cipher object. As we intent to Encrypt, we simply set it by setting a property of Cipher object by calling its "init"

Prerequisites : Java Programming capability, Knowledge on OOP(Object Oriented Programming) basics My Environment: I used the libraries specified for Java which is widely available. I ran my application on Windows XP only. But the libraries can be easily integrated with Linux based systems. I used NetBeans 6.1 version for development activities. But any other java IDE would do In setting up the environment, first you need to download Jpcap jar found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jpcap Once you download this, you have to add this to your NetBeans project. It can be done as follows. After adding the Jar file to the project, you need to download the WinPCap driver. It can be easily downloaded from http://www.winpcap.org/ It is required to get low level networking access regarding packets. As for

ASP Response.Write newline

Hi, all of you who have used ASP may have encountered situations where you require to write a text output to the screen. It can be easily done by using Response.Write("Hello world"); However, if you wish to append some more text to a newline, it would not work in the following ways. Response.Write("Hello world \n"); Response.Write("Good day."); The output of the above lines would be Hello world Good day. and NOT Hello world Good day. In order to overcome this, you can very simple place an html break tag inside the code. Response.Write("Hello world"); Response.Write("<br/>"); Response.Write("Good day."); The output would be the following. Hello world Good day. Cheers !!!
