I have created a client for the popular twitter social network. I am now wanting to add more features to the client, and one of those being a label displaying how many characters are left in the post (as the max is 140). This is what I want to do:
(Message Box Amount of Characters Typed) MINUS (140) = NUMBER(Display answer as label).
I've looked everywhere, but I can't find how to do this in VB
View 1 RepliesI have a program where a user enters a list of numbers in the form of a string. This list of numbers is always a multiple of 8.So the list can contain 8, 16, 32, 40, 48, etc. numbers.
I need to split that string into every 8 characters.For example, say the user entered "1234123445674567"
How can I split it into a string array where (0) is "12341234" and (1) is "45674567"
Note: The size of the array has to be equal to the length of the string divided by 8.
Like this:
Dim stringArray(txtInput.Text.Length/8) as String Edit: I know I could do this by making a loop that counts 8 numbers and splits it into an array but that would be lengthy and take a few variables and I know there's a more efficient way to do it. I just don't know the syntax.

I am trying to do a somewhat different pw generator. The user can specify the amount of characters the password will be and whether to randomize between the alphabets A-Z, numbers 1-10, and maybe a hand full of symbols or so, and a combination of all three options. Also the user can use the "re-generate" button if he/she does not like the current password. I'm fairly new to VB, and would just like a push in the right direction to get started.
View 6 RepliesI cannot find how to display an error message when what I typed in the listbox field is not in the listbox collection.
For example the listbox contains the following items
1) Apple
2) Strawberry
3) Mango
If for example I type "Mongo" and then press tab to another field, a message will pop up saying I typed something not in the listbox. Anyone who knows how to code if text in textbox1 is not in listbox then blah blah blah.
I have Visual Basics 2008 express and I tried to make a autotyper, so this is my
Button1: Timer1.Start
Timer1: Timer2.Start
Timer2: SendKeys.Send(Textbox.text)
Button2: Timer2.Stop
So it was my first try ever with VB and it kind of worked... Only 2 problems;
1. Button 2 doesn't really work, I have to click it really many times, then go to a different window, then click it really many times again, in the meantime it keeps on spamming
2. How do I make my autotyper press enter every single time after the textbox message was typed?

i am making a mini calculator and I have two problems with my current validation setup in the code. The code concerned is below:[code]Basically, I only want to allow numbers in the text box. When I enter a letter for example, the message comes up ok, but then when the box is clicked away, the rogue letter remains. Can someone tell me how to clear it properly?Also, when I use the backspace button in the box (pretend I want to change my input from 3 to 37), then the messagebox is prompted when I don't want it to be. I only want it to appear when a letter is entered.
1) How to I clear the banned characters from the text box after the message is clicked off
2) How do I get VB to ignore any backspace presses to prevent the messagebox from coming up.

im trying to make a simple program that calculates the time it takes to cover x amount off nautical miles at x amount off knots, the code i have so far is this :
Code:Public Class Form1 Private Sub Label2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label2.Click
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
[Code]...
so if i say want to cruise 29 miles at 12 knts it gives me an awnser of 2 hours 24.6 mins instead of 2 hours 25. Although i do realise that 2 hrs 24.6 is technicaly right i was wondering if anyone here could help me with getting it into the correct format?
im trying to make a fast food program on which the user will input the amount that he has, then he will check on what he wants, by using check boxes. There are 7 different check boxes with 7 different amounts of money. I have the program somewhat finished (thanks for the people that helped me before) but theres still a couple of things that I still need to get finished but I dont know how to.I need to be able to get how much money the user has (this will be entered threw a text box, I think I accidentally messed this part up, because I cant get it to work right, (theres alreasy a permit amount of money in there and it needs to be what the user enters instead of the permit, 5.59, one) and this will be the maximum amount he can spend, then the user will check on the food he wants (and the program will add the sales tax also) then it will produce an answer saying if you have enough money or if you dont. But what im confused on is how do I get the users amount of money and make it the maximum mount he can spend and make sure it doesnt go over the amount that he has checked.[code]

I create one typed dataset by dataset designer in VS2008. How can I change this dataset to shared typed dataset?
View 6 RepliesEssentially I am trying to replicate the Windows 7 (In-Windows) activation key TextBox form. The Form where it will auto capitalize letters, remove or deny all non alphanumeric characters except dashes every 5 characters that will be auto-input.I assume this can be done with a fairly complicated replacement Regular Expression but I cannot seem to create one to fit the needs.
This is an Example of what I have right now, but it creates an infinite loop as it removes all characters including dashes, than adds a dash, which changes the text and removes the dash again.

View 3 RepliesI need to create a console program that allows you to enter a string, of which is then outputted in reverse.
Sample:
Input: Diewas
Output: saweiD
Apparently I need to find out about strings and will also need to use a loop.
Not sure if too many people know this, but the following line will cause an error:
GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_"
....if the length of GroupName is less than 3 characters. I always thought it would simply return whatever characters in GroupName, but no, it errors. I must be thinking of the old VB6 days.So, I now have to change the code to:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) Then
If (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then
Note that the two comparisons need to be on separate lines. If they are on the same line, such as:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) and (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then then the code will still fail as the length command is executed at the same time as the substring command- which will cause the error when the GroupName length is less than 3.Just thought that those of us not aware of this should be!

I have two textboxes. I type in one of them and the text gets copied in real time into another textbox. There is one catch. I need to replace specific character with something else.
If I enter a quote " in textbox1, it has to be replaced with " in textbox2.
I started with something like the below code, but obviously this does not work (tried different stuff - this is for demonstration only). In the example below 'a' represents " , and 'b' represents "
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyUp
TextBox2.Text = TextBox1.Text

With the shape of really large characters such as numbers and alphabetic characters + others, is there a way to get that shape as a REGION please?Imagine a really fat snake forming the letter S or two rectangles placed together to form a large letter L or a T like the shapes in TETRIS.
1) Does anyone know of anything in VB.Net that can translate such shapes into a System. Drawing.Region or know of a project elsewhere that achieves this please?
2) While I'm on the subject, how would you SCALE UP / DOWN a System.Drawing.Region please? How would you work out the Transform Matrix required please?

Program works good, it is mixing characters good, but it doesn't write text to the file. It will write text in console, but not in file. Note: Program is working only with words that are divisible by 2, but it's not a problem. Also, it does not return any error message.

Is there a way to turn only selected characters into password characters and still be able to get the password text from the Text property ?
