Painting On A RichTextBox Control?
Oct 16, 2009
Drawing on top of a RichTextBox control has always been a pain due to the Paint event, and related OnPaint() method being suppressed. Here is a bit of code that gets around this issue.The following derived RichTextBox will use a seperate NativeWindow control to hook into the message stream of the RichTextBox, listen for the WM_PAINT message, and then raise the Paint event on the RichTextBox for you.In this way, it is possible to use the Paint event handler of the RichTextBox control to paint on top of the control after it has performed its default rendering of the text.The following code is an initial implementation but appears to be pretty solid so far. 'Based in part on code located at: [URL]
''' <summary>
''' A RichTextBox object which raises, and utilizes, its own Paint event.
''' </summary>
''' <remarks></remarks>

I may continue to expand upon this idea, but I wanted to get the initial code out here as this seems to be the minimum to get the painting functionality to work.Reed Kimble - "When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all"

I have inherited the standard panel control to create a panel having custom border color. The problem is, while the panel is on a form and any other form is moved across it, it paints hapazard lines of the same color as the panel custom border color, all throughout background of the panel. I tried to Refresh or Invalidate the panel in its paint event but of no avail. The same is happening while designing in the design editor too. See attached image. Why is this happening and how to get rid of it? My code follows:

I'm looking to draw a trackbar normal, only with a transparent background. I have created a new class that supports transparent backgrounds set to true. Without using userpaint, the trackbar does nothing or takes the color of it's parent. When using userpaint I have to draw the control on mine own. Not quite sure where to start first though...
I've read about drawing a line (not so hard), drawing a floating object (to act as marker), and handling events on when the floating object moves left/right... Drawing 3 separate objects inside an inherited trackbar control seems like a clunky way of calling methods that should exist somewhere? Is there an easier way to draw the control normal without a background? If not, some in starting to implement all 3 new objects working together would be good (I could draw them separately but that's about it).

After scouring the inter-webs for info on printing in vb.net, it seems to me that it's pretty difficult.
My question is, is there a simple way to print something that is in a RichTextBox control?

I am working in vb2008. I understand how to set a richtextbox's selectedstart property to a text block using .find. I would like to know how to tell the richtextbox to scroll to the selected position based upon the find operation and show its position at the top of the window. I would like to pass text blocks into my richtextbox control and have the control automatically scrolll to that position if the text block is found.

I was checking out the internet to get some information on VScrollBar control in VB.NET, however I can't find any useful information on what I am trying to do, as I have never worked with VScrollBar before.
What I am trying to do is use a VScrollBar control to handle scrolling of two Richtextboxes (i.e. synchronized scrolling) because each line of richtextbox1 is associated with the corresponding line of richtextbox2.

I have read and played with code that streams output to a richtextbox but that is runningit from cmd.exe but I run kix32 programs like anything.kix using commmand line kix32 c:anything.kix and it can be run from a *.cmd file as well.
why havent' experts made a toolbox item/control that is say called console? like they seem to have many others dialogbox - browse box etc...? It has been years since VB.net has been out. why why dont they make one??huh? I have looked all over net and it ant no easy job either.
I mean all the code i see makes it very difficult you have to be an expert just to make the coding. Is there some class or something that maybe a beginner/intermediate might be able to tackle..
I just want the command line that is initiated by the kix32 engine to be streamed to my richtextbox in my gui vb.net program

I have just turned to using VB.net and would like to know why when I load an RTF (with tables in a 9x9 cell format) all appears in a 1x9 format...i.e. instead of loading the tables (some are side by side), they load up in series (below each other).
My simple line of code on a button is:
RichTextBox.LoadFile("c: est.rtf")

I have some code which displays data in a hexadecimal format, so each line of the display looks like this ...
000000 xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx cccccccccccccccc
... where the left six characters are an offset and each xx represents one character and the string of cs on the right are the actual characters.
I've learned that I have to keep control characters out of that string of cs or the display gets messed up. I've been using this code and it works fine (when it's not commented out). (binbuf is a Byte array)
'Select Case Convert.ToInt32(binbuf(i)) < 128
' Case True 'traditional ASCII character
' If Convert.ToChar(binbuf(i)) <> " "c Then

I am trying to get the output of a CMD command attached to a RichTextBox control. For this sample, I am using the PING command. It works but unfortunately not the way I want it to. Instead of 'appearing' in my RichTextBox line by line, it waits until the entire process is completed and then it attachs it to my RTB.

Their system executes a DB query everytime they select something, causing performance issues. So I thought that I would read the superset of data into a datatable, and then whenever they want subsets, simply run against the datatable. I've done some testing and the performance difference is HUGE.The problem is how the screen paints on postbacks. The screen will temporarily go blank then the data will appear as expected. Of course, they don't want the blanking of the screen each time they select a subset of data.
I am currently using a repeater to handle the display of data due to the nature of what they want to display. A datagrid might be a good alternative for sorting functions, but I think it would still blank the screen when it data binds.How do I go about filling the repeater without blanking the screen? Is it even p[ossible? Logically I would think not but I don't have the experience. Or perhaps I can fill a datagrid without blanking the screen on the postback?I'd rather not have to go out to the database every time, but if that's the way to go then I can live with that.
