i am trying to bring up a text message when the cursor moves over a certain label . No problems using the cursor enter . But i can not figure out how to display a text message in a balloon without a background (transparent) . Tried using a form but get the following message when trying to set background as transparent "Control does not support transparent background colors." Also i have tried using a user control but again no success .

I'm coding an advanced web browser. The bad thing is, is that whenever you move your cursor over the window, a wait cursor is displayed. I tried to deselect the wait cursor but it doesn't work! I'm using Visual Basic 2010 Beta 2...

View 5 RepliesI'm building a program in which it asks for your name and age and determines a ticket price based upon these details. I want it to show the person's name, then their age, (jump down a line) then their ticket price, and then it jumps down a line to show the next person's name, age and ticket price. Issue is, when it's meant to jump down to show the next person, it just completely deletes the last person's details.I'm using this line of code:
TxtFareShow.Text = (Name & Age & vbCrLf & Price) & vbCrLf
How do I fix this?
I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.
Basically, there's a Rich Text Box here, and it's read-only. The user can tab inside it, and move the arrow keys up and down it. If I can get my code to work (read the line where the cursor is). I am using the following code:
Code:
Dim RTBLine As Integer = Me.RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(Me.RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)
If RTBLine < 2 Then RTBLine = 1 'used to prevent errors

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 have a small chat app. Type a message, press enter and the message is sent. Works fine...except the cursor is moved the the second line of the text box and i can't seem to get it back to the beginning

I have a very wired problem. I have a txtbox which i attempt to act like a password box (ie. everything you type becomes ****)
I use a simple counter that just shows a * for each time the text is changed.However the "typer" wount follow, it just stays in the beginning. so the result is that the code is spelled backwards.

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

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?

I have this problem every so often in VS2010. What will happen is I'll be working along and run the program then stop debugging. When I get back to text editor to change something the cursor will be stuck. It won't let me move it with the arrow keys and I can't type anything in. I can move it with the mouse but when I do that I still can't type anything in at the new position. The only way to get this to go away is to close out VS2010 and restart it again.
