Differences In Selected Text In Textbox And RichTextBox?
Sep 2, 2007
I have a form with a Textbox, RichTextBox, and a CopyToolStripButton.When I select text in the TextBox control, I can right click the mouse to get a menubox (cut, copy, paste, delete, select all) but when I select text in the RichTextBox and right click the mouse I do not get a menubox.Is this simply a difference in the controls, or do I need to enable a property on the RichTextBox to get this functionality?
This difference between Textbox and RichTextBox is evident even without the CopyToolStripButton code, so I am guessing it might have something to do with inherent or default properties of the controls themselves.At any rate,I would like to get this funcionality for the RichTextBox control as well.

Here is what I got so far:
1) I have a VB2010 Project. The form contains the following things:
1 RichTextBox (RichTextBox1) 8 Buttons (Colors: Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Teal, Pink, White, Black) (Button1 until Button8)
1 Button "Copy Selected Text" (Button9) 1 TextBox (TextBox1) 1 Button "Copy Finished Text to Clipboard" (Button10)
2) Here is how the program should work:
I write some text into the RichTextBox I select specific parts of the text, click one of the 8 color buttons and the selected text becomes that color. I do that until all the text is randomly colored e.g: Red Green Yellow Blue Teal Pink White Black
I select all of the text "RedGreenYellowBlueTealPinkWhiteBlack" I press the "Copy Selected Text" Button (Button9) The selected text should become visible in the TextBox like this: ^1Red^2Green^3Yellow^4Blue^5Teal^6Pink^7White^8Black
I press the "Copy Finished Text to Clipboard" (Button10) The character count (length) of the TextBox1 should not exceed 32 characters. If it does show message box. The whole TextBox1 should be copied. If the text is successfully copied, show MessageBox with "Success" else show MessageBox with "Error".

in the richtextbox(from my class) gotfocus -what I need is the richtextbox.text to also be in a different textbox on the form. the richtextbox(readonly) is from my class that has mousedown and mouseup code and more than one richtextbox (small in size) will be on the form in a container so when user clicks on one I need the richtextbox.text to also be in a regular textbox (not from my class) and not located in container. And I need to read a property I made in my richtextbox class.

I created a form to capture a user name and password.I thought it would be nice, during the form load event, for me to put the windows username in the name field for them in case they were the same.When I do this the name appears selected/highlighted.I didn't expect this to be the default but it seems to be.I then use select(0, 0) to remove the selection I didn't want in the first place and try to move the focus down to the password field but it doesn't work.Can someone tell me if the text being automatically selected is normal and why I can't change focus to the password field.[code]

I want to search the text in my multiline textbox with a vertical scrollbar:
mEvent.Focus()
mEvent.SelectionStart = InStr(mEvent.Text, FindString.Text) - 1
mEvent.SelectionLength = Len(FindString.Text)
This works fine, but if the found text is too far down, I have to manually scroll down to see it. How can I automatically scroll down so that the found text is visible in the text box?
