Changing The Color Or A Specific String In A Textbox?
Apr 29, 2009
I have a project im working on and im trying to change the font color of a specific string basically how vb does while your coding. (eg if i type dim it turns blue).I want to do this with a textbox in a vb application to show a topic of interest. It needs to be dynamic so when a user types it only changes the color of the specified string. I have tried
If TextBox2.Text.Contains("dim") Then
TextBox2.ForeColor = Color.Red
End If
but this changes all the text in the textbox to the color.

How can I change font color of a string. I set the fore color properties of the label holding the string but seems that only works when the string is displayed in that label. Is there a way of setting the color of a string itself such that it displays any where with that color by default. I am actually sending this string as email but wanted to format it in a way that it will display differently however it doesn't.

So I have a Vertical Scroll which enables you to change the Foreground color of the highlighted text inside the Rich TextBox. Here is the code of the Vertical scroll named Vscrollbar1:
RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.FromArgb(VScrollBar1.Value)
It does indeed work. Then I have a button that makes the Rich Textbox not Visible. Using Richtextbox1.visible=False Then I have an open button, which makes it Visible again. But what I wanted is that the text inside the Rich Textbox to be color Black; but the color of the from the scroll keeps appearing. Here is my code for the Close Button:
Richtextbox1.SelectionColor=Color.Black
I even changed it to this:
Vscrollbar1.Value=0
But still no difference.

I am building a text editor kind of like Notepad++ and I would like to set up the color coder for key words such as And. I will be doing this for VBScript and Java.I would like the keywords to change when the file is saved for example, when the user loads a blank document nothing will be color coded but if the document is saved as .vbs the keywords for vbs will be blue and comments ' will be green.

I am working on a project that I scroll from one screen to another.
A particular string I have 2 variables that can be changed. If I stay on this screen I can change either variable just as I need
however when I change to another screen then return my string is 1 digit longer and when I wish to edit this string my program fails because the string isn't the expected length.
A portion of my program follows....The Y6 is just a counter. The MA is a conditional control.
ElseIf _
Y6 = 4 _
And MA = True _
[Code]....
Delete 0-27 then determine whats there "NC" or "NO" and simply change it. But again when I leave this particular screen and return my text length is no longer 29 charactors long, it is now 30 charactors.

In either of these (preferably Vb6), is it possible to replace a specific pixel color with a defined color? For example, if i scan my screen for 100,200,150, is there a way i can replace every instance of that with a specific color?

I am making a game similar to Final Fantasy (anyone ever heard of it?), and I want there to be gauge like ATB (Active Time Battle), like there were in the later games. The ATB gauge is a gauge that controls when a character can act, whether it be attacking an enemy, or healing. The gauge is only used in battle. So can I change the color of a progress bar's...progress? The green part that's fill(ing)? Because the ForeColor property doesn't change that color.

But can we change the colour of a Progress Bar to another colours depending on it's value.
For example:
When the value is between 0 and 40 it's colour turns red. And when it's 40-80 yeallow and 80-100 Gree.
I don't wanna do it by changing it's theme. all the ways I read will make me change the theme.

[URL] That way if the string that is not recognised that is passed to Color.FromName it returns a SolidColor of
Color.Black = Color.FromARGB(255,0,0,0)
That way, Forms and controls that only support SolidColors are supported.Installing VB6 on Windows 7?

Is it possible to programatically change the color of entire listview columns (vertical)? I know it's possible to change the color of entire rows (horizontal): ListView1.Items(priceRow).BackColor = Color.FromArgb(87, 68, 34) Changing the properties (forecolor, backcolor) in the listview collection editor did nothing.

I have a subroutine for changing the datagridview's columns' colors on form load.Now, everytime the user change a cell's value, the cell's backcolor is changed.If the user click 'save' the program will call the subroutine for changing color.I got everything working except the part that it will return to the color on load after save. I think I should refresh my datagridview but I don't know how to do this.
