Alternatives To RichTextBox?
Sep 8, 2010
For sometime now whenever I am in need of formatted text I have been using RichTextBox control and save data to RTF format. However lately I started using RTF editor control that allows you to insert images into rtf. And although this works, the file sizes grow immensely.I was wondering if nowadays there are any better alternatives (preferably available for free) that people can use in windows applications for viewing and editing documents.

Are there any alternatives to Codedom? THe reason I am asking is because Codedom is not letting me use pointers(unsafe code) which is a must in my project. I have hear of the System.emit namespace though.

I am using vb.net / Winform 2010.I am looking for a free (or very cheap) alternative to the DataGridView, one that looks more like what I see on ads for XTraGrid. Something that will multiple lines per records, and for lines to be rolled up, and expanded by clicking, etc.

I'm thinking of porting my application from VB.net to the C# based MONO project, so it can run on both Windows and Mac. However, I am in need of a Mac-friendly alternative to WPF. It has to have very similar functionality. QML (by QT) is not a viable option, as it costs far too much money for us.

When I try to code in VB2010, I usually unmark the reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic. Because I do not want to use the legacy functions of VB6. I want to complete walk in .Net path. And I have found some alternatives for the old VB6 functions. But the rest not. Where can I find the list of those methods or classes (alternatives for the VB6 functions) ?(For eg: when I tried to find the difference of 2 dates, I couldn't find any other alternatives. So, I came back and used the Microsoft.VisualBasic reference for using DateDiff())?

I'm working on a small utility program and found that I have a need to copy the contents of listboxes, textboxes and other control from one to another.
I just started playing around with Drag and Drop but it seems lacking a bit...for instance, if I wanted to drag the contents of a listview to a text box, it doesn't look like I can do that easily if at all.
Can you use a drag and drop to copy the contents of different control types easily?I thought about using the drag and drop method for notification of the intent to copy the contents and then I would code the copying.
The idea (although I know it will be slow but that is okay for this utility) to copy the source to a textbox and then from the textbox to the target. The content won't be that large and speed is not a concern at this point.
Here is my issue if I have to do it this way.
1 - How can I use the control names to do this?
2 - How do I get the target control name?
I figured I would create a function that I would pass the source control name and the target control name and based on type, perform the appropriate method of copying the data.
I haven't figured out a way to get the target control name. I can use activecontrol.name for the source.

I'm developing in VB.NET with Visual Studio 2005.I have a ComboBox (myCombo) on a form that gets populated within the Load method.I also have handled myCombo.SelectedIndexChanged to change a label on the form.
Edit: The way I added the event handler was by double-clicking on the combo box on the designer. Skeleton code then came up in the code view.It looks like what's happening is when the form loads, SelectedIndexChanged gets fired each time an item is added to myCombo.This isn't what I want, but I'm thinking there's another event handler that only gets called when the user changes the selection.
Here's some code for what I have:
Private Sub myDlg_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' this is all I do with myCombo in this sub
list = GetListOfItemsToAdd()
[code].....
Update: The solution I used was to remove the Handles clause after the event generator, and add this before the "End Sub" above:
AddHandler myCombo.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf myCombo_SelectedIndexChanged

I am currently working on a program that takes Visual Basic data in the form of a text file, and then stores this data in C++. Some of the data from Visual Basic is of the type Decimal. C++ has no built in type equivalent to decimal. I don't want to use double because there is a possible loss of significant figures if the numbers are large enough.One option is write my own decimal class.

I'm using a richtextbox in vb.net. I need to maintain the text formatting while inserting a new entry.I have this issue solved although I am having difficulty with getting a new line between my new text and the prior existing text.Most solutions online presume you're working with rich textbox. text which accepts controlchars.lf, vbcrlf, and chr(10)... even chr(13) adds one single newline.How do i get the newline in rtf formatting?I prefer to have the new text entered at the top of the richtextbox as a user should see the latest update first.In addition, if this can be done more elegantly, I'm open for suggestions.Where you see controlchars.lf is where I want an rtf-based new line to show up.

This is my first post at the forums, if I did something wrong making this topic Okey so here is the deal. The program task is to take 50 codes including letters and numbers. Take them and insert them into a webpage(webbrowser1) witch is designed to deal with these codes(3 fields). To check if the codes is valid etc.
Here is what I got :
WebBrowser1.document.GetElementById("Website textbox ID here").SetAttribute("value", TextBox1.Text)
WebBrowser1.document.GetElementById("Website textbox ID here").SetAttribute("value", TextBox2.Text) '
WebBrowser1.document.GetElementById("Website textbox ID here").SetAttribute("value", TextBox3.Text) '
What this does it takes textbox1.text input(first part of code) and inserts in the first field at the website.The to others to exactly the same.But instead of having 3 diffrent texboxes I want it like in this pic.

Just had a question regarding a Windows Form Application in Visual Studio 2008.I was wondering if it is possible to have a RichTextBox and have a < (previous) and >(next) button. When the user selects the Next button, a new blank RichTextBox will be displayed, when the user selects previous button, the prevoius RichTextBox w/ whatever text was in there before will be displayed.

I've got a RTB that I use to display some info for a user. Scroll bars on the right to move the data visually up and down.
I don't want to allow the user to alter text in the RTB - it's for display only.
How would I go about that without using ENABLE=FALSE?

I have not been able to "Get" properties of richtextboxes that are in other forms in my MDI interface. I'm creating a document editor which specifically call for a richtextbox for each form. I'm attempting to implement a Find/Find All form, which is why I need to "Get" text from each document by creating a property for each. However, I keep getting "null" erroer messages.
My property structure follows:
Public ReadOnly Property rtb_txt_form() As String
Get
Return Solution.TextForm.RichTextBox1.Text.ToString()

I am bringing in data to a richtextbox but when I bring it isn't aligned like i thought it would. Is there a property or something i need to enable to get this to work. Here is how I would have imagined it to work:-I figured this wouldn't display correctly.this was just an example, but was hoping to have the asterisks display even with the last asterisks on the first line and the slash on the last line.
/************************
* *
* Some Text *
************************/
The text when i look at the .Text Property and click the magnifying glass shows it like i would imagine but within the control itself the alignment is all over the place and doesn't make much sense how it is doing it. If i bring the same text file into notepad it all looks fine and is also aligned correctly.what I need to enable to get this to work?
I should also mention that I thought maybe it had something to do with tabs, but when i view the .rtf property for many of the lines that should be aligned still are not even without tabs.

I would like to make a line of text in my richtextbox multicolor. I have tried various implementations provided on the web and read up on SelectedText and other topics but can't seem to get it to work the way I would like to.Here is what I have so far
RichTextBox1.Text = "This is black "
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25, FontStyle.Bold)
RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Green
RichTextBox1.SelectedText = "[BOLD GREEN]"
RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text + " black again"
The colors I want are stated as the text. What happens is: the entire line turns green, "[BOLD GREEN]" appears at the beginning of the textbox instead of inline. I want it to read like this: "this is black" as black. "[BOLD GREEN]" as green and "black again" as black.
