View 1 RepliesI have a button that append a sentence with some strings in it to a richtextbox.

Anyone know how to make the text cursor (claret) wider in a RichTextBox control? It seems to ignore the setting in Vista settings and does its own thing instead. I wouldn't describe my vision as being seriously impaired - just middle aged!
On a high resolution screen it is a real chore trying to find the text cursor position. I've ended up doing a heavy kludge of putting a little image of an arrow on the screen attached to a timer control to track and point to the cursor position!!! This is a very silly work around. It must be possible to make the text cursor wider somehow? It is only one pixel wide and I can barely see it. I can't be the only one who struggles with these narrow cursors?
I need to set the color of the font every time I add text to the RichTextBox
I'm using. RtbResults.AppendText(DisplayPacket)
To add a new line of text, but each line needs to be a set color.I found this on the net but it doesn't seem to work in my VS11b RtbResults.AppendText(DisplayPacket,forecolor,backcolor,font)
Are these the correct overloads? can I do this another way if this doesn't work?I don't want to have to insert the text then go back and select and change its color.
I need to drag and drop to textbox from tree view. Here while drag and drop to text box i need to add the dragged text to anywhere in the text box which we have already dragged some nodes here.
For example.in treeview i have "node1" and "node2"now i am going to add "node2" to textbox and in front of "node2" i need to add "node1" and then at the end of "node2" again i need to drop "node1" like that.
I have two RichTextBoxes, each of which can have any sort of formatting. I need to be able to take the rich text from box 2, complete with formatting, and add it to the end of box 1, preserving the formatting of both box 1 and the appended rich text.
I've not managed to find anything usefull on this anywhere apart from hints pointing to manually re-building the RTF codes for the result (but no actual VB / C# / C code to perform this or similar).
I have a My.Settings file that has a folder path that the user will select.I need to export text from a RichTextBox to a file, however, I can't seem to figure out how to use My.Settings as the path where the text file will be created.
Right now, I have:
Me.txtlog.SaveFile("C:UsersmycomputerDesktopNew folderfounditems.txt", RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)
which works fine, however, the My.Settings.destfolder is "C:UsersmycomputerDesktop estfolder"
I have tried:
Me.txtlog.SaveFile(My.Settings.DestinationFolder, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)
but it doesn't work - and also I do not know how to name the text file from the above code.
On a button click i want to first select "vb dotnet forums" and on next click immediately select "are the best" (in a richtextbox control) .
View 6 Repliesi have a simple notepad application where i want a feature of selecting text which is underlined. Usually what happens is when i click a button the app reads a text file and underlines random text in the richtextbox. What i want is on the click of another button to select the text which is underlined. I thought of creating char range, regex all but not getting anywhere. I also dunno how to build a regex.
What i know is since all RTF texts are different we can choose the rtf text instead of simple text to select the underlined text. The rtf of underlined text in my application is this uli0 so manyulnonei where ul and ulnone mark the text as underlined. Now i want to select all such texts which are surrounded by uli0 and ulnonei . I thought of the following method :
1) Create another richtextbox2
2) Paste the text of richtextbox1 as rtf in richtextbox2. I mean show the text in coded rtf (like above) instead of normal rtf.
3) Use simple find to select all the text which is surrounded by ul and ulnone tags
4) process the text.
But this step is very tedious. If anyone could help me in making a simple procedure or build a regex which could process the text surrounded by those tags,
I am trying to add formatted text to a rich text box...
For instance, I want to add a heading as bold ("HEADING: ") and some data after it as regular ("REGULAR Data")...
I'd like to have a couple functions to perform the action.
When I use the below functions to add txt to a single rtf box, I get lines in either all bold or all regular. It doesn't seem to keep the font formatting after it adds text..
Public Function AddRegtxt(ByVal RTC As RichTextBox, ByVal Txt2Send As String)
With RTC
.SelectionStart = Len(.Text)
[Code].....
I would like to know how it's possible to append text between data.
For example:
I have a RTB with "ABC" on the first line and "DEF" on the third line. My question is how would I insert text data into the second line, without changing any existing data.
I am using vb.net 2005. In my form there is RichTextBox, when i write particular format with bold,diffrent font,color and save to sql server 2000 database with datatype 'Text' then formatted text not save in database.what is the way or source code to save formatted(rtf) text to databse, and how to display/retrive formatted(rtf) text back to RichtextBox.
View 1 RepliesHow do you make the cursor go to a specific row in a richtextbox (or) select everything in that row?
RichTextBox1.Select(0, 2)?
Trying to set the cursor position in a RichTextBox. The contents of a document are opened into the RichTextBox and I would like the cursor to move to the very start of the text.
At the moment, I'm using:
Me.tbLowerBody.SelectionStart = 0
Me.tbLowerBody.SelectionLength = 0
However, this seems to provoke my "Would you like to save changes" dialog on closing the RTB even though no actual changes have been made.

View 2 RepliesI Would like to position the cursor in a text box using X,Y coordinates with X being the line number and Y being the column number. Is there any way to determine the line and column numbers of a textbox that is full of text. Using the .selectionstart paramenter only lets you position the cursor a certain distance from the beginning of text but there is no line information that I know of. By the way, I not an expert at VB so bear with me if these questions seem kind of basic.
View 6 RepliesI have a couple of TextBoxes on a Form and also a RichTextBox control which is associated with a ContextMenu1. Now, while my MouseCursor still blinks friendly in one of my TextBox controls, I right-click the RichTextBox and get surely my ContextMenu1. However, this ContextMenu won't do me any good unless I first left-click my RichTextBox in order to set my cursor in there and then right-click again to open the ContextMenu. I've tried to work with RichTextBox.Focus() and also with something like ... If
e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then ...
But nothing seems to do the trick.

View 2 RepliesI'm writing an vb.net application so that the user can type text to be added to a website. I'm using a richtextbox and I've added the facility to hyperlink selected text. This all works, but when the mouse cursor moves over a hyperlink it changes to a hand; how do I stop it doing that? It's confusing for the user as it looks like clicking the link will do something and it makes it awkward to correct spelling within the text of the hyperlink.
View 3 RepliesI am using a WPF richtextbox to create a syntax highlighter for code provided in a textbox. I want to have it automatically adjust the rich textbox as I am typing, using a thread timer I reset the contents of the rich textbox. I am trying to keep the cursor where it is suppose to be. I don't loose any text characters during the parse (except line breaks).
I don't know how to keep the caret position where the user has left it in the text. It defaults to the end of the document. I attempt to store the current caret position in the text and then set it to the document after I make my changes, however the error I receive is "Cannot set CaretPosition to be outside of RichTextBox." So I set the caret position to the bottom of the document.

I am attempting to append information to a textbox in VB. My app allows the user to choose a variety of options and displays all the information in a single, read-only text box.
I would like to set it up so every time an event triggers something to be written in the text box, it gets appended instead of overwriting the text currently in the box.
The only constraint is that text should be appended as a new line, not directly after the last sentence.
