In winform's textbox, how to get the current key-in position?
For example -
textbox.text = 3056.98
If I type '7' after '0', current key-in position is 3.
In vb.net, which textbox event or keyword could I get this position value?
I am trying to develop a HANGMAN game and i need to implement a button where the user can click on it to "buy" letters. So, i designated 2 text boxes (one visible containing stars and another one not visible containing the word that should be guessed), and i wrote the following piece of code so that once the user presses the button any of the stars will turn to the correct letter. My question is, i found the index of "*" and removed it, and now i want to insert the corresponding char with this index (WordInLetters). How can i find what char is at index "index" in vb.net?
Private Sub picBuyLetters_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles picBuyLetters.Click
Dim index As Integer = txtWordinStars.Text.IndexOf("*")

How do I get the current write-position using the BinaryWriter. I need to store the position in order to read from that position afterwards. (I know it would give the position where the next write would start, that will be taken care of).

oook so this when button7 clicked it will move my mouse to the X:700 and Y:700, but will start from the X:0 and Y:0 but i tried making start from my current mouse position but idk how not working:
i have a for loop "for each val in values" I want to within this loop some how check positions ahead of the current position for a condition. I am unsure how i can do this however apart from having an inner for loop to loop from the current position. If that is the case I am not sure how i can get the current position.I have attempted this with this code below, the inner for loop.
If creditPoints = "10" Then
Dim valcount As Integer = Val.Count
For intLoopIndex = valcount To Values.Cou

How would I get the current mouse position?

View 8 Replieshow can i get the current position of the cursor in real time inside a picturebox?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a hook to monitor the current position of the mouse cursor. Nothing important, I just need to count some pixels during interface design and wanted to learn how to create a hook, so I decided to go for a hard way instead of a sane way.
I've found example code which declares the following function:
<DllImport("User32.dll", CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, _
CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _
Public Overloads Shared Function SetWindowsHookEx _
[Code].....
But Appdomain.GetCurrentThreadID generates the warning: "'Public Shared Function GetCurrentThreadId() As Integer' is obsolete: 'AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadId has been deprecated because it does not provide a stable Id when managed threads are running on fibers (aka lightweight threads). To get a stable identifier for a managed thread, use the ManagedThreadId property on Thread."
I've tried using ManagedThreadID, but that doesn't work. The thread ID returned seems to be the logical thread ID of the thread, as it runs in the .net runtime, rather than the Win32 thread identifier.
Calling the function ith AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadID works, but I really would like to have a "stable identifier" for my thread.
Can someone explain to me whether it is possible to use ManagedThreadID in this context (I assume not) and, if not, the things I need to avoid in order to stop the AppDomain.CurrentThreadID from becoming "unstable"?
Well, How can I click the mouse at it's current position in Visual Basic .NET 2010?
View 9 RepliesI'm using VB 2010 Express with two instance of AxWindowsMediaPlayer in order to sync two videos (the videos are of the same thing but from two camera angles). Because the videos were started at slightly different times I've manually set the start time of each one using the following
AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.currentPosition = 314.5093196
AxWindowsMediaPlayer2.Ctlcontrols.currentPosition = 237.1639908
The problem I'm having is that whilst the WMP clock initially displays the above times in each AxWindowsMediaPlayer, when I play the videos each starts a few seconds out from the stated currentPositions.
The video files are around 300MB each and when testing with smaller video files the problem does not seem to happen. I'm guessing the large file size is causing some delay and hence causing the problem.
On one of my forms i have a datagridview binded to an Access database. It displays only first and last names of my customers in a datagridview.What i want to do now is, when i double-click on one of the customers another form will open and display details for this customer (detailed view - textboxes).
What i have accomplished so far is that when i double-click on a customer in datagridview a form opens with details (linked to the same binding source as datagridview). But the problem is that it always opens the first record even if i dobule-click second or third in datagridview.I don't know how to bind these textboxes with current datagridview position?
Without using TopIndex, EnsureVisible, etc., is there a way to simply save the current scroll position of a listivew as a point, then reset the scroll position to that point after reolading the listview?

How do you parse the caret position in a text box, then use that for setting the index in a listbox, all in VB.NET
View 1 RepliesI need the progress bar to represent the position of the cursor in a document. I also need the program's loaded text to highlight letter by letter at a user defined rate and that position be indicated by the document. This is for a personal application to assist me with a learning experiment.
View 5 RepliesI have a small application that displays a listbox under the cursor position when the user uses a shortcut key.
When the user double clicks a selection from the listbox I want to insert that selected text at the curser position of that opened window.
Example: user has microsoft word open. He/she uses a shortcut key that displays a listbox just under the cursor position. The listbox has a collection of text. When the user double clicks a selection that selected text is inserted at the cursor position.
I tried the following:
Private Sub ListBox1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.DoubleClick
Text.Insert(Cursor.Position, ListBox1.SelectedItem)
End Sub
I am trying to work out how I can insert the string "End" into my textbox at a specific cursor point?

Using VB 2010 Express
My program writes text to a multiline textbox. After the input is finished, the cursor is at the end of the text. I want the program to position the cursor at the start of the text so that I can see it.
MSDN suggests:-
tbPositionCursor.Select(0, 0)
I believe the cursor is now repositioned, but I cannot see the start of the text. How do I scroll back automatically, refresh or whatever so that I can see the start of the text?
I have a Picturebox in which I have drawn rectangles with 'Text' values representing Months of the year, i.e. Jan, Feb, etc. etc. I want to show a Tooltip when the user clicks on a Months title. The picturebox control does not have a 'getItemAt' function so how can I read this text.
View 3 RepliesOnce I get to the bottom right corner of the cursor box, it scrolls to another line; I would like to know if there is a way to stop this happening ie once cursor reaches bottom right hand corner of text box, no further data entry is allowed.
View 2 Repliesfar it works! But it work's too well. What I'm trying to do is insert a string of text at a certain index position of a text file, underneath a certain line of text. So far I have:
'Controls Var 16
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
If Mytempstring.Contains("zrandomtextz=0") = True Then
Mytempstring = Mytempstring.Replace("zrandomtextz=0", "zrandomtextz=1")
ElseIf Mytempstring.Contains("zrandomtextz=") = False Then
[Code]...
It's inserting the text, but it's inserting it at every line of text in the file. So instead of one instance of "zrandomtextz" underneath "xinserttextx" I get "zrandomtextz" before every single line in the file. Can someone please help me as this has been an issue for months now? Edit: There are quite a few lines above this one, as in 50-150, so I removed all of the above section, however I can assure you that whenever it is simply replacing then writing to file it works flawlessly, it's only now that I'm having problems and this is when I try to insert new stuff under stuff.
I have a text file containing the data in following format
12345 Abdt3 hy45d et45a 76huj agsj7

I have looking for a tutorial or class that demonstrates more than a trivial example of saving a windows position on closing. The ones I have found don't seem to work on all systems because of:
1. Multiple monitors. (and resolution between those monitors)
2. Toolbar size and position (toolbar is only on the primary monitor, well sometimes)
3. Sometimes the programs dont open on the right monitor they were closed on.
Is there an extensive class or tutorial on all the stuff a programmer needs to get right to have a window size and position persisted between executions?

I have few functions assigned in TextBox1_TextChanged event. The problem i am facing is this event is fired twice, once after the Fill command and another after the Position command whereas i want the event to fire only once after the Position command. What should i do?
I have a picture box with a label underneath it. The text of that label changes based on events. The problem I have, is when the text changes the label is no longer centered underneath my picture box.
