I have a code, which when a user selects a few options on one form, then clicks enter, it creates a new tab on my main form, with a text box containg the options chosen and a button to edit the options.
My question is how to somehow search the text of this textbox so that when edit is clicked, the form the user selected the options from reopens with the options they had selected originally.[code]...
I have TextBox1 and TextBox2
TextBox1 has this in it
pooy
TextBox2 has this in it
dalton austin chicken pooy boddy chicken
And when you click on Button1 it will look for the text "pooy" if it has it, it will go to Form2 if it doesn't nothing happens.
How can i do this?
EDIT: GOT IT WORKING
If TextBox1.Text.Contains(TextBox2.Text) Then
MsgBox("Activiated")
My.Settings.key = TextBox1.Text

I am trying to open up a text file that contains some text. I have 3 text boxes on my screen. What I need to figure out is how to replace multiple words (1 in each textbox) with text it finds in the txt file.
I can do this by using the single find / replace feature but I'm trying to be able to fill out the 3 textboxes and then click my find / replace button to have my Regex find each predefined word and replace it with what is in the text boxes.
Here is my code to get the find / replace one word at time feature. I've tinkered with this to just add more variables to my Regex but it doesn't seem to work.

View 4 RepliesIs there a way to find out if the "TextChanged" event is fired because the user is typing into a textbox or the programmer called myTextBox.Text = "something"? I don't want to react when the user is typing each letter into the textbox so I am using the "Validated" event to catch when the user is done so I can react. The problem is I don't have a way to catch when the programmer does "myTextbox.Text = "something". The only way I know to catch changes there is to use TextChanged but then I don't want to be reacting when the user is typing each letter into the textbox.

View 4 RepliesI have a wrapper class created around TextBox, and I want to find out if there is any way to test if the vertical scroll bar is at the beginning (the very top) of the text box and at the very end of the text box.Alternatively, I will be happy if only I can find out a way to check if a scroll bar is enabled or not in a textbox (note: it's not a RichTextbox).
By enabled, I mean that scroll bar is actually enabled i.e. you can use the scroll bar to scroll the control, not just visible (I know we can check visibility by GetWindowLong)
I'm adding a method to find and select text in my text editor. Everything worked fine, including the ability to find all instances of the text. My problem came when I tried to make it more user-friendly (doesn't it always?). Originally I had only a menu item with a shortcut( Ctrl + F) which invoked an input box.
Then I added a textbox and a button (similar to that seen in a web browser's Find() method) that calls the method in the same manner as the Find/Replace menu option and displays the desired text in the textbox. Everything works fine except that the text is not selected. I have MessageBoxes displaying the values of required variables in 3 places (marked ***FOR DEBUG ONLY***) to make sure that no values are being changed, but all variables are the same. The method still locates the text, but it is not highlighted.
I think it could have something to do with which object has focus. (When I click the button, the selected text loses focus?). But if I click everything with the menu items, it still works...

I was using .indexof("myword"), then all of a sudden huge problem and headache... i was using .indexof("produce") and then it kept replacing the word produced cause produce was triggered by the first 7 letters.then i tried to use .contains("produce") and it did the same thing.so basically it doesnt search for the WHOLE word, if a WHOLE WORD begins with the phrase your searching for then it wont work.so how do i search for WHOLE words?

I have a little question about txt-files...This is the case: I am going to make a small software for editing particular parts in text files, so you don't have to do it by hand. In this program, i need to find several words in a text file and retrieve the text or number that is after the the "="-sign, and then replace that info. Then, I want to use the information it retrieves to add some text in the end of the file.
P.S. There are 36 differet words to search for, and some of them will occur in several places, so i want the data from those words that occur several times in an array. And the data i want to retrieve is AFTER the searchword and a "=", so i dont want the searchword or the equals-sign included. Can someone explain to me how to do this?
