Colored Words In Textbox?
Jan 28, 2010
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..

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 am currently working on my own "Colored textbox control" which inherits from the RichTextBox. What does the "Lines" property do? Does it generate the return array internally, or is it just passing back an array that is internally stored?
[Code]...
Can I skip the generation of "lines" and just use Me.Lines(i) etc. everywhere?The reason I ask is that I want to minimize the lag of the control, and I have to read all or a range of lines fairly commonly.

I'm trying to make a text editor, and I want to make it highlight different syntax in different colours.
E.g. when the user types in <html> I want that to appear in red.
How exactly would you go around doing this?
For a better visualisation, this is what I have so far:
From the properties pane of VB.net, I can only change the whole TextBox's font colour.

i need to get ALL the words/items in the listbox to go INTO a textbox... i know how to do it the opposite way with lstbox1.items.add(txtbox1.text) - etc.... but it need to figure out how to make it go from LISTBOX to TEXTBOX. i've already tried stuff like "txtbox1.text = lstbox1.text" - that doesnt work, i've also tried "txtbox1.text = lstbox1.items", and just stuff like that, i've probably tried like 10 different things but none of them work im using VB 2008 Express Edition

I'm trying to make the autocomplete work on a list of items entered into a textbox separated by semicolons. I have a list of authors the user can choose from and it autocompletes as they type the name no problem, but what I'd like to do is after the user types a name followed by a semicolon, the autocomplete works on the next name and so on.e.g., Smith, John; Eastwood, Clint?

I would like the autocomplete list of a textbox to be the words that the user has previously typed and saved. For example if they enter "dog", "cat" and "fish" I want the autocomplete suggests to show these three options. So far my Code only shows the last user input. I expect there is an easy solution as I am new to all this, but I can't seem to find it on my own.

I have a picture that is the map of a circuit [URL]. Now I want a Square to follow that circuit. I have tried some things but I couldn't get it right. How would you start? And how do you access the color values of the "line" to follow it with the square? Or is that even the wrong way to do it?

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.

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

On the left side margin there are some colored lines (green and yellow). My program shows no errors, warnings or messages but when I execute the subroutine it seems to skip the rows with the colors in them.
