Appending Text To A RichTextBox In A Different Thread And Code File?
Sep 28, 2011
With the intention of creating a program to interface with a serial port device, I recently started learning vb.net. To keep the structure neat the vb code has been split into two places; the first is the code behind for initialising, clicking buttons etc., whilst the second is for managing the comm port. Respectively, these are named 'MainWindow.xaml.vb' and 'ComPortManager.vb'.
In 'comPortManager.vb':
Dim RXArray(2047) As Char ' Array to hold received characters
Dim RXCnt As Integer ' Received character count
[code].....

I'm trying to find a way to change the color of one word when appending text to a Rich text box. So if I append the sentence "This is a sentence with a specific word in one color" The entire thing will be in black except for the word "specific" it will be in red or any color I choose. The same thing will happen if the next line appended is "Please be specific in your request". All back except for the word "specific". I don't want the text added then someone has to click a button to change the color. It should happen as it's appended.

I would like to know how it's possible to append text between data.
For example:
I have a RTB with "ABC" on the first line and "DEF" on the third line. My question is how would I insert text data into the second line, without changing any existing data.

I am reading text from a file (*.TXT) 1 line at a time using streamreader. As I read that input, I am looking for specific starting and ending character strings ("<" and ">") . When I find those strings, I would like to select the characters between those string and have it set to BOLD and BLUE before appending that input line to the contents of a richtextbox.The only way I have found to do this is to first append the input line to the richtextbox then use the richtextbox.selection (color and font) methods to change the text.

Lets assume I have a DataSet that contains the following info (columns seperated with | character):
1 | Logan | Young
2 | John | Doe
3 | Jane | Doe
4 | Joe | Soap
If I now write this info to a text file, but later want to append 5 | Susan | Sarandonto the end of the text file, I obviously want to check that the text file doesn't already contain the data that I want to append to it. I'm having a little difficulty figuring out how to perform this check...I know you'd have to loop through every row in the DataSet's table and compare it to every line in the text file. That part's easy.

CommonDialog1.FileName = frmSplash.fp & "\job_info\" & nam
Open (CommonDialog1.FileName) For Append As #1

I have a VB 2008 program which shows the user's results in a ListView, and permanently stores them in a Notepad (.txt) file. The program works fine when I run it using Debug. The permanent records show up on a .txt file in the "bin". However, I want to publish the program as an executable file. I have tried this using my normal method of selecting "Publish" from the "Build" menu, and my program runs fine but there is no .txt file to be found.

Stuff like this makes me hate computers! Anyways, I'm again struggling with something relatively simple - or so i thought.I have a sub:
[Code]...
Then, I have a sub that runs every minute, calling yet another sub, which calls this one. Before you say whoa! that's too many, I'll say that each of these subs has a different purpose.The whole problem is that the WriteToFile sub writes only once to a file! Instead of continously writing to the file every minute, it stops at the first line.

I have a piece of software that can be used either on an admin account or a standard user account of a completely stand-alone, Windows XP machine.
I have also set up some log files that the system uses when it either performs an admin function or if an error occurs. the location of these files is a C: location - not (from what I can see) associated with the admin account in any way.
When running the software from the admin machine, the log file is appending fine. When running the software from the standard user machine, the log file causes an error, suggesting that "Access to the path 'C:HNP MTWP Log FilesAdministrative ToolsAdmin.log' is denied.
This error occurs when first setting up the FileStream. Here is my code.
Imports System.IO
Public Class Log
Private Const cnDirectory as String = "C:HNP MTWP Log FilesAdministrative Tools"

Is it possible to append text to a text file located on a webserver from a winform? If so, can you please point me in the right direction. I've searched this forum but can only find documentation on appending a local text file.

I have a several text files that get updated each month - when they are updated certain lines are missing that I always want adding back to the files - the text I want adding back needs to go into a specific part of the text file(its always the same text that needs adding and same location)

For some odd reason, when I download text files, the HTML of the web page is being appended to the text! All other file types work fine!Here's the code that's doing the download:
Public Sub DownloadBlob(ByVal Blob As Byte(), ByVal FileName As String, ByVal Response As HttpResponse)
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", String.Format("attachment;filename={0}", FileName.Replace(" ", "_")))
Response.ContentType = String.Format("application/{0}", Path.GetExtension(FileName).Substring(1))
Response.BinaryWrite(Blob)
End Sub

My understanding is that thread.join will suspend the execution of code on the calling thread until the spawned thread finishes or is aborted...
With that in mind, I tried this:
For i = 1 to 50
threads = New Thread(AddressOf test)
threads.IsBackground = True
threads.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA)
[CODE]...
However, the rest of the code runs when the loop finishes, not waiting for all the spawned threads to finish. Since the rest of the code needs the threads to finish (otherwise the rest will error).

How do you code selection of text within a RichTextBox. I tried the following code and nothing happens.I would think this should select all text within the RichTextBox.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.RichTextBox1.SelectAll()
End Sub
I would think this would select text from a start point to an end point.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
ss = Convert.ToInt16(TextBox1.Text)
se = Convert.ToInt16(TextBox1.Text)
Me.RichTextBox1.Select(ss, se)
End Sub

How would I go about appending text to a Textbox without losing the current scrollbar position? I thought somehting as simple as:
Textbox1.Text += "MyString" & vbCrLf
would work, but it just sends the scrollbars to the top.

This append feature does not seem to work. I've looked in many places to no avail. The other examples below for writing and reading seem to be going fine.
Private Sub ApFile(ByVal textFilePath As String)
Dim objWriter As System.IO.StreamWriter = file.appendtext("textTBD")
objWriter.WriteLine("textTBD")

The user starts out by pasting text into a textbox:
1.Phototypesetting was superior to automated typesetting because it was
(A)Easier
(B)Faster
(C)More flexible
*(D)All of the above
What I want to do is to tag the sentence and format it as follows: MC Phototypesetting was superior to automated typesetting because it was (A)Easier incorrect (B)Faster incorrect (C)More flexible incorrect (D)All of the above correct Using the following code I can easily replace the number (1) with MC:
TextBox1.Text = Replace(TextBox1.Text, ("1."), "MC ")
But for the life of me I cannot figure out how to tag each choice with correct or incorrect. The correct tag will go to the end of the choice which starts with * eg *(D) All of the above correct, while incorrect should go at the end of all other choices.

I have a My.Settings file that has a folder path that the user will select.I need to export text from a RichTextBox to a file, however, I can't seem to figure out how to use My.Settings as the path where the text file will be created.
Right now, I have:
Me.txtlog.SaveFile("C:UsersmycomputerDesktopNew folderfounditems.txt", RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)
which works fine, however, the My.Settings.destfolder is "C:UsersmycomputerDesktop estfolder"
I have tried:
Me.txtlog.SaveFile(My.Settings.DestinationFolder, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)
but it doesn't work - and also I do not know how to name the text file from the above code.

I am trying to save the contents of a richtextbox to a text file. I know that they .SaveFile method automatically overwrites the existing file so I have a routine that will load the contents of the file into a temporary rich textbox control then append the new information to that and then save from the temp richtextbox. My application works as I want it to on my workstation but I cannot get it to work correctly on the notebook computer it will be running on from now on. It only works when I put in a breakpoint and I am not sure why?
[Code]...
If I put breakpoints on any of the lines rtb.Select, rtb.Copy, rtb.Paste then it works. I even tried putting a Thread.sleep before saving, thinking that more was needed to do the copy/paste but that didnt work either.
