Highlighting First Character Changes Text Color?
Mar 9, 2012
I want to search as text is entered into a text box. All works as it should. When the search highlights the first character of the string then ALL following searches have this same color.
For example: I have a listbox with a list of titles. As I move through the titles the RTB displays the story line associated with the title.
RTB = "A big brown box and an apple is the mystery" Search for "a" (All conversions to common case) will highlight all the "a"s. BUT when I click on the next title, ALL the text is now highlighted.
There have been many variations tried and all without success.
I have a textbox for the search string I have a listbox with a list of titles I have a RTB with text associated with each listbox title.
Private Sub FindAll(RTB As RichTextBox, ByVal StartPos As Integer, ByVal SearchText As String)
Do

I am making a "toast" in vb.net, and whenever it pops up, all the text in the body textbox is ALWAYS highlighted...how can I remove the highlight programmatically?[code]....
Always, the text inside BodyL (which is a textbox), highlights itself.I tried adding in toast.Focus() at some points, but that did not work.

I have a program which writes to a .log file as it is installing software. Some of the lines will contain either WARNING or FAILED.
What I would like, is a window in my program which will read the .log file and display the content into this window as it is being written too. Any lines which contain WARNING or FAILED in them are highlighted yellow/red.

[URL] That way if the string that is not recognised that is passed to Color.FromName it returns a SolidColor of
Color.Black = Color.FromARGB(255,0,0,0)
That way, Forms and controls that only support SolidColors are supported.Installing VB6 on Windows 7?

I have a TextBox that displays a color as its background color and the background color code in its text. I have set the text color as Black.The problem is that if the user sets the color as Black then the color code will be unreadable. How do I set the text color programmatically so that it becomes readable when the user selects any color?

everyone! I've been at this for a while, and I'm not sure how this issue can be resolved:I'm working on a project in VB.Net, and I have a form with a rich text box. I have a groupbox with 4 radio buttons inside that are intended to change the font color of the text. Coincidentally, I have to repeat this same functionality for a 2nd set of radio buttons that would change the text font family.
At any rate what I've only been able to do is the following to successfully change the font color of whatever text I highlight in the rich text box:
Private Sub rbtnBlack_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rbtnBlack.CheckedChanged
rtbxTextEditor.SelectionColor = Color.Black
End Sub
Private Sub rbtnRed_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rbtnRed.CheckedChanged
[Code]...
Is there a way that I could write a sub (I'm assuming I would use a sub, since I don't think I need to return anything, thus eliminating the use of a function) that would handle the action of changing the selected text color in the rich text box without having to use a separate sub for each radio button? Mind you, per my teacher's specs, she doesn't use a button handler for any of this.

So I've tried a few different things I though may work, and none of them do. I can't figure out how to change the color of the text within the selected rich text box inside a tab control.
