Forms :: Multi-line Textbox And KeyPress Event Unusual Behavior?
Aug 13, 2010
I have several multi-line textboxes that I want to lose focus (i.e. when the user presses the right arrow key) but the control wil not relinquish the focus.Simply put, I first verify if the selection start is at the end of the text, if it is, and the user presses the arrow key, it should move to the next textbox. some debug.print code placed in strategic locations indicates that the target textbox gets focus and immediately loses it and the source textbox gains focus once again. Essentially not allowing the textbox to lose focus.
Select Case
Case Keys.Right
tbRight.Focus()
[code]....
After changing the source textbox multi-line property to false, it behaves as expected. Is this a "feature" .. surely I don't have to resort to "SendKeys"

a user copies multiple lines of text (say, from an email) into the clipboard. Based on my observations, when one tries to paste the text into a single-line textbox, only the first line is actually pasted in. (I am aware that the "obvious" solution would be to set the Multiline property to True, but there are reasons I am looking to avoid this and to put multi-line data into a single line.)
In the TextChanged event handler, I wrote code that parses the clipboard data to successfully convert it to a single-line, comma-delimited format.
Private Sub txtMassTrackingNo_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles txtMassTrackingNo.TextChanged

I have created the following piece of code to try and see if the user pushes the 'f1' key, and if they do.
[Code]...
I am not sure if this code works yet because the keypressed event is not triggered when I push a key. Could someone tell me how I can change my code so that it will test what key is pressed, no matter what control on the form has focus?

anyone know how to invoke the KeyPress event ? This code shows what I would like to do, but it simply calls the eventhandler and does not insert the text into the text box, so is not what I want/need.

I have the below code on the KeyPress event of a textbox howver a need has now come in meaning I have to do myTextbox.Text = "A input string"
Private Sub ChequeAmountKeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtChequeAmount.KeyPress
Dim tb As TextBox = sender
If (e.KeyChar = "." AndAlso tb.Text.Length = 0) Then
e.Handled = True
[Code]...
This input string could contain a format that I do not want and whilst the keypress event caters for the need when the user is typing I need to handle it in the case of a text assignment.I thought firing the keypress event after I assigned the text property but I dont think that will offer what I want.

I am writing a little 'macro' functionality into my multi-line textbox. All is ok except i don't know how to move the cursor up, or down, lines to simulate pressing the keyboard arrow keys (left and right are no problem). Obviously lines can wrap so using substring may be out?

I have a multi-line text box with hundreds of lines. I would like to be able to scroll up or down in the list using the mousewheel (much like using the pgup/pgdown keys). I think I need to use the .mousewheel event, but I'm not sure how to implement this. Is that supported out of the box, or do I need to hook the mouse?

What I am trying to do here is search a multi-line textbox that contains the source of a particular website.what I would like is something like this but i do not know how to right it like i need
Dim MyString, FirstWord, LastWord, MidWords As String MyString = "Mid Function Demo" ' would be the textbox FirstWord = Mid(MyString, 1, 3) ' Returns "Mid". LastWord = Mid(MyString, 14, 4) ' Returns "Demo". MidWords = Mid(MyString, 5) ' Returns "Function Demo".
this function works fine only when you define len.what I need is a function that will do something like this, "note obviously interpreted code"
Dim text, A,B,C as string text = textbox1 A = "<body>" B = "information between A and C being of variable len" C = "</body>" textbox2 = B
I do not want anything like,
remove "<>?|?()}{][" etc.

how to redirect outputs from console to a window form text box,but the console application I'm using is always running real time, thus my .net application hangs until I close the program that is read real time.The code displays the application to a 2nd form with a textbox multi line. Until I close that my entire program hangs and the console application monitored runs.
How do I code it to:
1. Run real time without hanging the entire program.
2. the console app must run at all times. (figured how to hide/ and no window created for it)
Sub Console()
Form2.Show()
Dim myCon As New Process
myCon.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False

I have a multiline textbox from which I would like to read each individual line and store it in an array. I don't want to store each carriage return, I want the line itself.I have been using this, but it only records lines followed by carriage returns.
Dim arra() = txtReceipt.Text.Split(Environment.NewLine)
Here is a visual example: [URL]From that top right textbox, I would want arra(0) to be "Type some stuff here (and hit the return and" and arra(1) to be "tab keys...)"
