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.
i have a text box data is moved from there into a list box with the click of a button, i want the text in the box to dissapear when the button is pressed and the cursor to stay in the text box. This has to be possible as i have used this kind of thing on website forms.
View 3 RepliesI 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'm trying to find a way to have text that would be "Live" as in if a user types an incorrect phrase/letter in a text box, a message will appear prior to a "save" button being pressed. It's pretty much the same as when you're registering on these forums, it checks the availabilty of the username as you type it.

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 know this is probably simple but I think I may be phrasing this wrong. I'm trying to make textbox text available as soon as it's entered on a label. The below code is what I used for a click event, which generates the info I want to see(I know a live preview would make a display button redundant, but our teacher requested both). If anyone can just tell me the proper terminology,
Private Sub ButtonDisplay_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonDisplay.Click
'Displays entered info into LabelCardDisplay.text

I have created an application which will open a text file on the click of a button, when i am running the application in local, I am able to get the popup asking to open or save the text file, I uploaded the same code to live site there it is not displaying the popup to open or save the text file. It just flashes a window for fraction of seconds and then closes, user is not able to perform any action in that course of time. Text document which I am trying to open is available at both server and local, and path is also correct in both cases.
Below is the code I am using to open the text file:
If (File.Exists(strFolderPath & "" & strFileName)) Then
objFileStream = New FileStream(strFolderPath & "" & strFileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
objStreamReader = New StreamReader(objFileStream)
objStreamReader.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin)

I want to launch a application called Foxit Reader pdf Reader .I know System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(path) can do it but . Requirements are Foxit Reader should be installed on machine.Now if it is installed how to serarch for the path of its Executable to provide the parameter as I can not hardcode the path for different machines.

I want to create a textbox which contents are validated every time the text in it changes. And an image is displayed beside the textbox if it is correct and another image shows up if its not correct. Pretty much like ajax.

cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM testdb WHERE Name='" & name & "'"

Problem is, the method seems to be only called once. And the first image that was displayed stays the same even after inputting a data which does not exist in the database. I'm connecting this program to a mysql database using odbc.

Here's my code to add new lines to my text file:
[Code]...
When the button is pressed the line is written to the file just fine, but if I restart my application, which calls Refresh_OtherLog() onLoad, it displays the lines of the text file as one line with the traditional square character depicting a character return. Why is it not putting that new lone as a new line in the listbox?
I have a VB2010 project where I need to read a tab delimited 50MB file using Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser. This technique works fine until the reader encounters a Unicode character upon which it inserts the little square thingy. The obvious choice is to change the encoding of the reader to Unicode from the default. This would probably work fine but for most files but this one is fairly large and I get the error TextFieldParser is unable to complete the read operation because maximum buffer size has been exceeded. By the way this file can be read completely without the Unicode option. Making the file smaller or breaking it up really isn't an option. Is is possible to increase the buffer size or is there another way to read this data that places the data in fields like the textparser and allows unicode characters?
View 9 RepliesAlright so I have a webrequest on my program and it requests a login page, and I use the streamreader to read the webrequest and I set a textbox text as the text that I get from the site after the webrequest. The text I get is something like this:{"Code":null,"ConfirmationId ": 3023,"Description":null,"MessageType":"Success")I am wondering how do I get it to only get the text confirmation id (in this example it's 3023) and not the whole page.

That code works fine.Now when i add another column to the datagridview called "update size" i want to know how to add the grabbed data from another sub i made to the new column.What would the code be for adding the strings for the new sub into the seconds column? the first was, DataGridView1.Rows.Add(str)" . So what would the second be ?Also another question i have is how do i put an image in an imagecolumn by a web link, not a local picture.

Looking in the "Display Items" list in the "Fonts and Colors" section of options, I don't see a way to color code dates. I can color numbers, strings, comments... all kinds of stuff, are Date and DateTime hiding under something else?
View 1 RepliesI've been looking everywhere for a solution to this problem. I'm new to VB, well programming in general, and am using VS2010 ultimate. Everything has been running smoothly until recently. For some reason, there is no syntax highlighting for my code. All other code is highlighted and colored correctly, just VB is not. All i get is black characters. Keywords, comments, everything is black! I have attempted to reset all the settings, and I have made sure that the font settings are all set to default.
