I see this all the time, even on this website (MSDN). The top text box has in gray italics, "Search MSDN with Bing". And when you click in the text box the text immediately goes away. How is this done? And can it be done easily in VB.NET applications? If it's part of the managed code properties of the text box control, I can't find it.
View 2 RepliesI'm having a problem adding multiple dynamic controls. the problem is that I can add one no problem, but when I try to add more it only adds one with the label's text = the last file name in openfiledialog. [Code]
View 9 RepliesI went and created a tab containing a good amount of controls, most of which are contained within what I'll just call the top-level group box. Now I decide I'd like the text of the top-level group box to be bold, but nothing else. When I set the top-level group box's font to bold, however, all of the controls contained within it become bolded as well, which is what I don't want. I can set each individual control's bold property to false, but it seems like there should be an easier way to do this.
View 2 RepliesI have string which is:
document1.txtdocument2.txtdocument3.txt
What I would like to do is split it so it shows in a listbox as
document1.txt
document2.txt
document3.txt
I have come up with a solution which may work. Its preety over complicated too me but this is the only way I could think of?
What I need help on is a code so that after every ".txt" it will place a "/" so the string will look like this:
document1.txt/document2.txt/document3.txt/
Then I would use this code to split the string:
Dim I3() As String
I3 = I.Split("/")
For g = 0 To I3.Length - 1
ListBox1.Items.Add(I3(g))

View 4 RepliesI'm building a program in which it asks for your name and age and determines a ticket price based upon these details. I want it to show the person's name, then their age, (jump down a line) then their ticket price, and then it jumps down a line to show the next person's name, age and ticket price. Issue is, when it's meant to jump down to show the next person, it just completely deletes the last person's details.I'm using this line of code:
TxtFareShow.Text = (Name & Age & vbCrLf & Price) & vbCrLf
How do I fix this?
I'm Making a Simple syntax highlighter and I'm Doing the highlighting in the text Changed event of a RTB and for obvious reasons I can't re highlight the whole document each time someone presses a key so i highlight one line each time the text changes.

View 6 RepliesI've been looking through the FCL for a method that will allow me to erase a line of text from a text file and replace it with another line of text. Neither the StreamReader nor StreamWriter have a method for replacing or removing Text from a text file, as does the string object. Are there any available methods for erasing just certain lines of text from a file, and then replacing them with others?
In my code, I'd like to locate a certain line in the text file, and then at that point in the text file, use a For...Next Loop to replace each successive line of the text file with new text:
Dim user_data_file As String = "user_data.txt"
edit_input = New StreamReader(user_data_file)
Dim edit_line As String = edit_input.ReadLine

However, I can't find any methods that will allow me to do this.
