Displaying Text On Form?
Jan 26, 2009I need to display text on the form (not a msgbox). A large text box would be acceptable if it's background could be made transparent with no border, but it seems that is not allowed.

Forms :: Displaying Text Inside A Form?
Jun 29, 2009actually i'm trying to write a small program for my project's presentation. i created a form with buttons, each time i click on a button, i want a text loaded from MS word document to be displayed inside the form.
i thought about dislaying the text inside a label or textbox, but the problem is that the text doesn't preserve its state, i mean colors and fonts which are defined in the MS word document, it just displays everything in black color, small size..etc, even if i change the properties of the label in color or font, thoses changes will be applied to the whole text.
is there any control who can display the text loaded from a MS word coument with its colors and fonts which are already defined in the word document, or there any solution to do this ?

VbCrLf Keeps Replacing Text In A Text Box When It's Meant To Be Displaying The Next Block Of Text Below It?
Mar 14, 2011I'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?
Reading A Specific Line From A Text File And Displaying It In Individual Text Boxes?
Feb 16, 2010I'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.

Nov 17, 2009I am sending a write command "*IDN?", and then trying to read back the information and put that into a text box inside of VB6. The "*IDN?" command gives back some information about the piece of equipment. When I send this command and read back using the NI488.2 interactive control utility I see the correct information displayed. I am not sure what I am missing in my VB code. My gui only consists of a text box to display the information read, and a command button to start the sequence. Here is my code.

View 3 RepliesSecond Instance Of A Form Displaying
Nov 10, 2009I've been working on a project now for some time and as a result, when I have something new to try out, I do a little "proof of concept" project and then port it over to my real project (mainly to make it easier to follow when trying to work out new issues).Up to now, I've been relatively successful at it.But here's what I'm running into with this particular project.First, a little background.When the operator enters data into certain input fields (textboxes), either a listview or a datagridview appears displaying multiple columns of information.Once the line is selected with the proper info (equip. id or type of job or whatever), that info gets displayed in the textbox.The problem occurs when display is clipped by the window size.Let's assume for simplicity sake that I can't enlarge the display window.
So I rethought that and decided to create another form that has no borders and the only item displayed is a bound dgv.So I created a proof of concept project that consisted of two forms: form 1 that contains a text box and form 2 that contains a dgv control.when run, form 1 is displayed.When I type a character in the textbox, it calls form 2 and searches the dgv for the first char I entered.Since form 2 is the current form, as I enter additional chars, I build the string, search and if the chars are valid input chars, echo them to the textbox.Once the data line on the gridview is found, the tab key is used to do the select, close form2 (the dgv) and populate the textbox of form 1.This all worked.That is until I tried to port it over into my real project.This is where I'm obviously missing some key aspect of VB.Net and how all the forms and threads and handles work.To get right to the issue and skip alot of what happens in my real project, I was able to duplicate the problem by just creating one more form in my proof of concept project that just has a button on it.That button when pressed, brings up form 1.When I start to type in the textbox, after I enter the first character, form 2 displays, which is as expected. But when I enter the second search character, a second instance of form 2 opens and it searchs for the second character I typed.If I enter another character, it gets added to the second char and located in the dgv of the second instance of form2.When I press the tab key, textbox of form 1 does not get updated but the second form2 does close.The first form2 remains.
