View 9 RepliesI am trying to make the application similar to Notepad++. Notepad++ colours text depending on what type they are, eg. HTML, PHP, CSS, Java, ect.
I just wondered if somebody might be able to help with this? I have no clue where to start, but I have an idea of how it would happen.
- Text is entered into the RTB (RichTextBox)
- The text is read by the program as it's entered
- The text is coloured depending on the type
I've just finished creating a basic login system which enables you to create an account and select either a "Student" or "Teacher" account.
Once the account is created it's stored in an Access 2007 database. The field the account type gets stored in is called AccountType. When users log in with their unique username and password I want the program to take them to a different form depending on whether they have a student or teacher account.

I am building a 'shape editor' which looks very similar to the Visual Studio form designer. I have a Toolbox control that holds a few 'Shapes' (such as RectangleShape, EllipseShape, TriangleShape, etc) which the user should be able to drag to the design view ("Canvas") in any MDI form. The Toolbox control is just a TreeView except that I add ToolboxItems to it (which are inherited TreeNodes). This dragging however does not seem to work...

View 2 RepliesMy current project is making a word processor, and i would like to add the function to be able to drag an image from list view, in a dock panel of my form into a rich text box.
View 4 Repliesi want to make like this. when i'm typing in textbox,it must show dropdown words from listbox.
View 5 RepliesI am looking to include in my word processor a drop down font selection button, much like that in MSword, where it shows the installed fonts an allows the user to pick one. It is for a rtb, so I'm not sure if it's possible. If it isn't, could you guide me into coding a button with say the text 'Arial' to change the selected text in my rtb to arial. Also, which fonts are supported by rtbes?
View 11 RepliesMy program populates a drop-down menu with items dynamically at runtime. The items listed are the currently running windows and applications seen in the Windows taskbar. I was wondering if there was a way to retrieve the text of a selected menu item during runtime and use it to set focus to that application or window (which is the text of the selected menu item). I have looked at using the AppActive function to achieve this. I just don't know how to retrieve the text of the dynamically created menu items. Please keep in mind that I am an amateur coder so my code might look stupid. I have tried the following code block with no success:
Private Sub AppActive(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CurrentlyOpenedWindowsToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItemClicked
AppActivate((Me.CurrentlyOpenedWindowsToolStripMenuItem.DropDown.Items.Item(Text.ToString)))
End Sub
Should I be using the SetForeGroundWindow API instead?
I have a problem with Combo Boxes. When one uses the mouse to open the drop down menu, the text appears to be missing, but when you click on a entry, the text appears in the box at the top of the combo box (the thumb?). Likewise, when the cursor keys are used to scroll through the options, the text appears in the thumb.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to select a value from a drop down control before it was text box. I have given the same ID for drop down which was similar to the text box.
Below is the code:
Do
counter=counter+1
tempPanelInputBox = form1.FindControl("txt_" + panelUsed + "_input" + counter.ToString())
Loop untill counter=CounterEnd
and i want to change to get the selected value in the dropdown box.
I'm doing drag and drop from a list view. In my starting list view's ItemDrag event handler, I say (amomgst other things):
data.SetFileDropList(coll)
data.SetText(CurrentFolder, TextDataFormat.Text)
sender.DoDragDrop(data, DragDropEffects.Copy Or DragDropEffects.Move)
CurrentFolder being a string that holds the name of the folder represented by the list view. In the target control's DragDrop event handler, CType(e.Data, DataObject).GetText evaluates to what CurrentFolder was when ItemDrag was executed.But: e.Data.GetDataPresent(TextDataFormat.Text) always evaluates to FALSE.If I replace "TextDataFormat.Text" by "DataFormats.Text" (in both places) the result is the same. I am asking this although my code does what I want, because I feel that I should not call CType(e.Data, DataObject).GetText before I have established that TextData is actually present. So how do I properly check for the presence of the text data.
How do i Drag n Drop text file (.txt or any hoter format ,vbs,bat etc...) to a textbox in VB.NET ? Step by step tutorial with code so i can copy/paste would be nice.

View 4 RepliesI want to have a text box which allows user to input free text or to pick from list derived from previous entries to this field. I can do it where random number generates to become a field on the combo box for editing but not sure how to use the free text to add to drop down linked to the same field.
View 5 RepliesI have read through some of the other posts and I think what I want to do is slightly different. I have a combo box in VB ExpEd2010 that I want to allow the user to only select from the drop down list. However, I want to be able to set the value in the combo box to something that is not in the list. So the drop down list will have values 1, 2, 3 but I want to be able to write to the same combo box a value of 2.4, 1.2, etc.
View 13 RepliesI'm currently building an intranet engine for a project I've got on the go at the moment,and I'd like to save myself a little time by generating header images from code where possible, however, I'd like it to match our concept image.What I'd like to achieve is below:My issue is I've not the faintest how to create that from code. I can do the absolute basics but that's about it.I start to fall down when it comes to the gradient background and the drop shadow on the text. I can get away with positioning the text on the larger header image, so if it's not possible to generate the exact gradient I have there, then I have a work around for that, but what I really want to achieve is the text with the font and drop shadow.
View 1 RepliesWhen an item is selected from the list it displays in the text field of the combo box and I want to clear it without clearing the items in the list. I've tried [dropdown list_name].text = ""[Eg:- CBSelect.Text = ""] but it doesn't work since the text entering field in a drop down list box is read only.How should I do that.

View 5 RepliesI have a pop up form that contains a listbox. Right now I am telling it exactly which text boxes I want to be able to drag and drop to, but I was just told to have it drag and drop to every text box on the main form.The main form with the text boxes has a bunch of tabs on it that hold each section. Each section has text boxes, so how would I code it so they are all capable of allowing drag/drop without specifying each one separately?
This is the code from my pop up form:

I insert a text box into form1. I move the mouse pointer on top of the text box. I press down on the left mouse button and begin to drag the text box. The problem is when I let go of the mouse button the text box is not dropped. it remain floating around. My only way out of this is to press the escape key which places the text bnox bak to its original location. Thinking that it might be my mouse I tested it in Power point and everything works correctly.
