aligning text into columns in a textbox.
I need it to look like the following:
XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX
XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX
I've seen several representations of how to do this in VB6, but I would prefer managed code (VB.net). Also, I want to make sure that what appears in the textbox will translate to the printed page the same way.
i am trying to get an output from a data grid view into a text file and align it properly into columns. i have been able to get the output into the text file.. but they are not properly aligned as they appear in the data grid view. They always appear this way
[Code]...
how can I align the text of a textfile without using the textfile's property because the alignment will change from one screen to the next.
while I'm at it I would also like to underline portions of the textbox contents.

I am writing to a txt file from vb.net. I cant write 2 columns of data and have the 2nd col start at same place. Col1 is OK but col2 starts at different places depending on how big col1 ,row data is. How do I force this as currently I use tabs but again this doesn't work.

If count > 2 Then '2nd col

View 4 RepliesOk, ive had a brief look round and can't find the answer to this question. I've also been browsing the internet for what feels like a life time in order to find this answer but i've had no success so far and its driving me up the wall. What i'm doing is a very simple (or so i thought) project for my local Pool Team. I haven't hOk, the bit im struggling with is: I'm trying to make text files for each player. With the text file being called Player 1, player 2 etc etc, and the first line inside the txt file to be their name., I'm getting the "player 1", "Player 2" part, but the first line is constantly coming up with "textbx_1" instead of whats inside the Text box.

However, when i call this function in Private Shared Sub function2, no update is done. I am a newbie in vb.net programming and it may be a silly question but I could not solve it

1. I have a multiline texbox and want to know if there is a way to search for a text in the textbox... The user should be able to input a search string and click a button to search all the entries of the string in it, just like ctrl+f
2. Is there anyway to make the textbox 'read only'? The textbox is populated by application itself, with some logs.. The only reason I chose textbox was because, I can't select an item and copy it from label..
Also, can a textbox include formatting, such as making some text bold, underlined etc?..
I use the code
Dim Selvk As New Selvkost2
Selvk.PassedText = TextBox29.Text
Selvk.Show()
in mainform and the code

I got a Sub which processes a code, and then it does whatever the code said. Example.
Code = "Black" -> Turns screen black.
Code = "OFF" -> Turns off the PC.
And so on.
If I call that Sub from Immediate console, It works perfectly. But if that Sub is called from an event, It does nothing, and usually throws an Exception. I read somewhere that I can fix this by using Threads, but I don't understand how that can help and make it work.

I created a form to capture a user name and password.I thought it would be nice, during the form load event, for me to put the windows username in the name field for them in case they were the same.When I do this the name appears selected/highlighted.I didn't expect this to be the default but it seems to be.I then use select(0, 0) to remove the selection I didn't want in the first place and try to move the focus down to the password field but it doesn't work.Can someone tell me if the text being automatically selected is normal and why I can't change focus to the password field.[code]

Hi, I'm working on a program that reads text entered into a textbox and creates a list of items by separating entries by commas. Everything is working fine, except, because I am using an array to store the items in the list, I have a limited number of entries. This is only a problem because, as it is written currently, each comma counts as an individual entry. Therefore, users can enter ",,," for example, and it would use up 3 places in the array.
I'm looking for a way to check to make sure there is text after the comma before adding an entry. I've attempted to use the .substring command to check the character after, which works until it gets to the last character. Because there is no character after that, it will give an error.
Here is my code for extra clarity:
Public Class frmMain
Dim intCounter As Integer 'Stores the # of commas in the string
Dim Messages(49) As MessageProperties
