Blinking Colored Text For 3 Seconds?
Jan 24, 2012
I am trying to wrap my head around getting some blinking colored text and lasting for 3 seconds on the screen. I'm creating a game where you hit submit and if the answer is correct a label with popup and blink 3 different colors for about 3 seconds also a groupbox background color change. I have found many different ways on here how to do the blinking text. I just can't figure out how to do it for 3 seconds and then disappear. Here's a general idea of the code
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I don't know how to add colored text to a richtextbox.
To make already existing text colored, I have tried things like:
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.Find("colored word")
RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Blue
RichTextBox1.SelectionLength = 0
..so it will change the color of the found word.
The problem is, when the "colored word" exists multiple times in the textbox, it will never change theirs color. It only searches for the first "colored word" and it wont affect the others.
It would be even better when someone knows how to directly add colored text instead of changing it when it's added.

Anyone know how to make the text cursor (claret) wider in a RichTextBox control? It seems to ignore the setting in Vista settings and does its own thing instead. I wouldn't describe my vision as being seriously impaired - just middle aged!
On a high resolution screen it is a real chore trying to find the text cursor position. I've ended up doing a heavy kludge of putting a little image of an arrow on the screen attached to a timer control to track and point to the cursor position!!! This is a very silly work around. It must be possible to make the text cursor wider somehow? It is only one pixel wide and I can barely see it. I can't be the only one who struggles with these narrow cursors?

I've out an output rich text box called TbxOutput, and I have many different tbxoutput.appendtext("") methods in my program.I don't really know much about how to set rich text box colors, and what I specifically need is for a simple line of code that i can plug in before the tbxoutput.appendtext("" + vbnewline) methods to make that particular line output text of a different color.
For example, when my program normally outputs messages it does it in black, and i want it to remain that way by default. But when it outputs an error message, I want that particular message

So, I'm trying to make a RichTextBox which makes seperate words colored as you type them (like in Visual Studio itself ).The problem is, it's absolutely not working as I want and absolutely not the same as in Visual Studio.It's constantly running over the code each 500 milliseconds (by a timer), bugging the focus and selecting the words you want to be colored quickly.
Also, when you have something selected in the textbox,it constantly unselects when it runs over the code again (tried to fix that, but failed).So, can please someone improve this code (a lot, it's coded really bad ) so the user doesn't notice the words are getting colored?I put the words into an array with a different array containing the colors of the string array on the same index (Sorry for my "not so good" english.. But I'm sure you understand it ).

I need to constantly display large amounts of colored text in WPF or Silverlight, and I need the user to percieve it as showing up instantly.
Currently I'm doing this using a canvas and textblocks, one textblock per 80-character line, with multiple runs to a textblock to handle the different colors. There can often be 20+ runs to a line.
In a 45x80 grid of text, this gets a framerate of about 12 in Silverlight, which is sluggish. Oddly enough, it's even slower in WPF... I can only speculate that this has something to do with my dev machine's lousy video card. Maybe it's trying to hardware accelerate and actually slowing down because of it?

I am trying to put colored text into a list box. I use the following
Private Sub ListBox1_DrawItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs) Handles ListBox1.DrawItem
e.DrawBackground()
Dim myBrush As Brush = Brushes.Blue
Select Case e.Index
[Code] .....
This works fine and dandy as long as I use 8 pt font, but when I change the font to 20 I get the following: How can I get the list box to display colored text in a large font?

I want to convert seconds such as 254565443 seconds to hours, minutes, and seconds and thought if I could remove the decimal and the numbers behind it and not change the number in front of the decimal then it would work.
dim seconds = 254565443
dim Hour
dim minute

I want to save a string of text to a file every 1.4 seconds or so, and each day at midnight I want to create a new file for the days log data so I keep the file size down. The file stays open the whole time so that it is ready to accept data from several different forms which call a function (SaveToVoltsLogFile(str)), so I open it at module level like this:
Dim fsVlogStream As New FileStream(EVENT_LOG_PATH & VOLTS_LOG_FILENAME & DateString & ".ip", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read)
Dim swVlogWriter As New StreamWriter(fsVlogStream)
Now each time I call a function SaveToVoltsLogFile(str), the str data gets saved to the file:
Friend Sub SaveToVoltsLogFile(ByVal str As String)
swVlogWriter.WriteLine(str)
swVlogWriter.Flush()
End Sub
But by opening it this way, I cannot call a sub to close it and open a new file for the next day because putting the Dims into a sub means that the file is out of scope to other subs/functions, so my Save... sub won't work! So, what I think I need is a separate sub to open the file, another sub to close it, and another to write the str data. But how do I do this and keep the file in scope to all subs?

is there any way to determine if a button is still blinking? because i have programmed it like when the condition is true, the button will light up. This button will stop blinking only when the user clicks on it. Because in my program, each button represents the number of blocks. So if the alarm comes in from the block one and block one button blinks, the user should press on the button to acknowledge the alarm. but while the block one button is blinking,if a new alarm comes in from block 2 before the user click on the button1 to stop it from blinking, button 2 will blink together with button1 because the user has not acknowledged the alarm from button1. Currently, i have written the below code to blink the button. but this one will go with the alarm, that is if the alarm comes in at block 1, the button will lightt up at block one. but when a new alarm comes in at block 2 before the user acknowledge the button1, the button1 will stop blinking and buttton 2 will blink. But i want both buttons to light up. the code is below:
Private Sub Timer3_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer3.Tick
For Each ctl As Control In PictureBox1.Controls

In my form, there are many controls and the people who will use the final program are not very computer literate people. For this reason, I would like to use arrows which blink beside the control in order to show the order of controls to use (just like a visual guide). I also make the controls active-inactive in a proper order but a visual guide will also be musch of use...I guess I can do this by either using picture boxes beside each control or draw method (which I do not yet know how to use). But if I use a picturebox, how will I give the blinking (or fade in & out effect)? For blinking effect, should I use a timer or anything else?

I have a windows form application that uses datasets and mySQL. I am wondering how I would get started in making one of the buttons blink dependant upon database status.In short each record has a column where the user marks a received checkbox. I would like for a button to blink if there are any request that are not marked as received.

On my vb.net 2010 form the textbox which has tab stop 0 does get the focus when the form is opened but the cursor is not blinking. I know textbox 0 has the focus because if you start typing right after the form opens the characters show there. The cursor property of textbox 0 is set to Ibeam. This is my first-ever VB 2010 form. My 2008 forms work fine and my workaround is to do the project in 2008.

I was wondering if there's anyway to color stuff in a textbox? example: I have a big textbox and if I type hi in that textbox I want that text to become grey, and if I type bye I want the text to become red, any ideas?
btw, I took your advice from my latest thread and installed a stable version of 2005
I did some thinking and come up with the idea "if textbox1.text ="hej" then" set a color but then I realized the whole text would become to coded text, hmm..
