I have a program written in vb.net 2003 which has text boxes for integer input. When the boxes appear, they are filled with the default value of zero. When the program is run on a computer running Windows XP the cursor appears in front (to the left) of the zero, but when run on Windows 7, the cursor appears behind (to the right) the zero.
In xp, if the user enters 1 (one) a 10 is diplayed and the user must delete the zero. In Windows 7, if the user enters 1, there is a leading zero which disappears once they have exited the text box. Is there a way to force one presentation or the other?

I was wondering if there is an addon, or position controls for my website. I hate having to code the location of a button for example.
Isn't there a way to just move it freely around the form as you do in Visual basic or C# for example?
I have a form where I need to place some labels dinamically. Some of the label's height needs to change depending on the string size that will populate the label's text. So what I need to do is position the labels one below the other, after the text has been populated and the height has been set.

I'm trying to make it so that that user can enter predefined text by a button event (which will save them time typing). For example, they're writing a note in a textbox and then they click a 'Name" button which enters the name of the person into the text box at the place of the cursor, which will cut down on errors caused by typos.
So I need something like:
Button_click event()
textbox.AddAtCursor(person.name)
end sub
Is it possible to append text into a RichTextBox1 where the cursor is? (Ex: In-putting a string from TextBox1 to RTB1 where the user has the typing cursor at.)
View 2 RepliesI have a small application that displays a listbox under the cursor position when the user uses a shortcut key.
When the user double clicks a selection from the listbox I want to insert that selected text at the curser position of that opened window.
Example: user has microsoft word open. He/she uses a shortcut key that displays a listbox just under the cursor position. The listbox has a collection of text. When the user double clicks a selection that selected text is inserted at the cursor position.
I tried the following:
Private Sub ListBox1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.DoubleClick
Text.Insert(Cursor.Position, ListBox1.SelectedItem)
End Sub

Using VB 2010 Express
My program writes text to a multiline textbox. After the input is finished, the cursor is at the end of the text. I want the program to position the cursor at the start of the text so that I can see it.
MSDN suggests:-
tbPositionCursor.Select(0, 0)
I believe the cursor is now repositioned, but I cannot see the start of the text. How do I scroll back automatically, refresh or whatever so that I can see the start of the text?
