Is there a way to detect whether text inside a textbox is highlighted from a user using a mouse either by double clicking or click and drag inside a textbox? I'm able to use the mouse doubleclick event as a way to detect the double clicking. However, i am stuck with click and drag to highlight for more than two characters.
View 4 RepliesI am currently making a Syntax Highlighter.How can I highlight certain text inside a RichTextBox ? I am Currently Using This Code :
Public Function Highlight(ByVal highlightcolor As String, ByVal ParamArray WordsToFind() As Object)
'Loop through all the words you specified:
For i As Integer = 0 To UBound(WordsToFind)[code].....
but it will only Highlight 1 of the word I set / Change the whole text into the selected colour
Example :
'I wanted to Highlight "Hello"
'I put this code into RichTextBox_TextChanged:
Highlight("blue","Hello")
'And It will Only highlight The First "Hello" inside my Text :
'Hello my name is XXX, Hello
And, can I Highlight text between certain text / after certain text
Example :
'Highlight After the '
Or :
<!-- Highlight between these 2 tags -->
Does anyone know how to highlight or change the color of text inside a datagridview cell? Not change the back or fore colors of the whole cell, but only for a particular word inside the cell. This is to make the search results more visible to the user.I tried doing it in the Cell_Formatting event of the datagridview but I'm only seeing options to change values of the entire cell (e.CellStyle). If there was only a way to select text inside the cell and set the selected text's properties. Or if I could use some formatting tags around the text.

View 7 RepliesI am writing a programme for Payment calculations.I have four textboxes txtPaymentDue, txtDiscount, txtBalancePaymentDue, txtAmountPaid, txtChange
PaymentDue, BalancePaymentDue and Change are calculated by the programme.My requirements are:
1) when i enter Discount in txtDiscount on EnterKeyPress cursor should go to txtBalancePaymentDue wherein it will display the calculated BalancePaymentDue and on next EnterKeyPress the cursor should go to the txtAmountPaid and finally on EnterKeyPress the cursor should move to txtChange.
2) When I enter a digit in txtDiscount it should take it as right to left sequence and it should allow the insersion of digits .......like if i want to type 36.45 then if i type 5 the texbox should immediately look like this 00.05 when i type next digit it should look like this 00.45 likewise when i type next digit it should display 06.45 and finally 36.45.

View 2 RepliesI'm using a WebBrowser control and I'd like to highlight text that the user enters. It's supposed to be kind of like what you get from Ctrl+F in Firefox. I initially tried this:
Me.webHelp.DocumentText = Me.strOriginal.Replace(Me.txtSearch.Text, "<span style=""background-color:#44F; color:#FFF"">" & Me.txtSearch.Text & "</span>")
However, if the user types "body" it replaces every instance of "body", even ones inside tags, which hoses the HTML. How could I separate the page text from the tags(and everything else) and just do a replace on that while maintaining the integrity of the HTML?

I need to highlight changes(diff) between 2 database text fields in a asp.net application.

I have a datagridview and the user wishes to key some text in a text box and press a find button.The text to be looked for could exist in any columns in the grid (I want to exclude hidden columns).The search is to start at the row the user is currently at. If it gets to the bottom of the grid and still not found the the search would start from the first row of data.
If a match is found then the row with a matching value is to be highlighted.I've looked at using the position and find properties of my binding source but I think this will only let me find on one column and only from the top?Do I need to programmatically loop through the rows in the datagridview and search for the text or may there be a better method?
