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 have two RichTextBoxes in my vb.net application (rtf1 & rtf2). rtf1 is loaded with the external data. Mostly It contains para split into different sections. The paragraph is a dynamic data, hence the no. of words keep on changing. Now my question is that, I want to select a para from the cluster, copy it and paste it into rtf2.
Manually I did as, Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
[Code]....
Here only i could find the starting position and length. without knowing the ending postion, i couldnot specify the number of characters. how to select "para content goes here is a multiline" only from the [para content goes here is a multiline]?
Actually the contents of Rtf1 is in the .txt format. But I knew only
My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("xyx.txt")
so, if i can select the para in the .txt file before reading it into rtf1, it will be more useful.
I have a form with a richtextbox and a scrollbar. I want to be able to keep appending text to the textbox without loosing my selection. I can save the selectionstart and selectionlength before I append the text and set it back and it works. The problem is when it comes to reverse selecting. The best I could do is set back the selectionstart at the right position but I have to move the mouse so it selects text again. I'm using the following functions before and after I append the text:
Private Sub StopRepaint()
Dim pt As Point
' Stop redrawing:
SendMessage(txtchat.Handle, WM_SETREDRAW, 0, pt)
[code].....
My main goal is to be able to select and copy text even when new text is being appended to the richtextbox. Anyone knows how to correctly select text in reverse OR easily fix my problem about text being deselected?

i am making a richtextbox and some buttons,i want to press a button while some text is selected ,the selected text becomes bold or underlined,
View 2 Repliesi want to select the next piece of text which is underlined. You see the rtf of a richtextbox has following code for an underlines text :
uli0 hello friendulnonei
But the normal text looks like underlined. What i want to do is on a click of button the rtfbox should select the next piece of text which is underlined. An example piece of text is :
hello [friend your] house [looks] amazing.
imagine the words within square brackets are underlined. When i first click button1 "friend your" should be selected and on next click "looks" should be selected. Kind of keep moving forward and keep selecting it type of application. I know this can be done using regex but can't build a logic.
In my windows form, I have a button with a shortcut code using &. It looks like below:
It Text property has the value &Sales Bill - Cash
See that its default styling for the highlighted shortcut code is an underline. Instead, I would like to change that styling to Underline + Bold + Different color
Let assume below will be my richtextbox. This is what I have so far:
[U]Title name 1[/U]
Some text. Some more text.
[U]Title name 2[/U]
Some text. Some more text.
What I am willing to do now is: Only when you mouse over on underlined text - mouse cursor changes to 'Hand' Then you can click on it and message box appears with underlined text. How do I do these two things?
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.
Is it possible to append text into a RichTextBox1 where the cursor is? (Ex: In-putting a string from TextBox1 to RTB1 where the user has the typing cursor at.)
View 2 RepliesI 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 have been getting some nullexceptions on the following lines of code...:

I have a listbox control that has a selection mode "MultiSimple" (I've also tried MultiExtended). I also have a button that uses this code to select all the items in the list:
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
ListBox1.SetSelected(i, True)
Next i
It works ok but the problem is that it's very slow. I have cases where there are 60 000 items in the listbox, and it takes forever to select them all. Is there any function that would select all at once (Just like ListBox1.ClearSelected() unselects all instantly)?

Now, how can I get the ID of the Div, by selecting text in his Field?
For example, if the user selects the text "Div1 - Text" (or part of him), the result should be "ID1".
if the user selects the text "Div2 - Text" (or part of him), the result should be "ID2", and so on.
Is it posable to do something like this?
For i = 0 To 10
TextBox(i).text = Data(1,i)

I need to be able to click on the line in the text box and then open adobe or do etc. I can't figure out how to make the text box "selectable" I guess you could call it. Is there another way to do this or am I just missing a property?
