Preventing Carriage Return In Multiline Text Box?
Jun 10, 2011
I have a textbox, and it's set to multiline, so a user can enter a few sentences. The problem is, if the user hits the enter button while in the textbox, it's starting a new line. This data is being saved as a text file, and it's causing problems when the text file is loaded back into the app, causing load failures.
I'd like to completely make the enter key useless when the textbox has focus. Or, if they hit enter, it tabs over to another button.
Here is some code I used to make the enter button behave more like a tab-
Private Sub txtCallNotes_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
Me.btnSubmit.Focus()
End If
End Sub
The problem is, the enter button still does a carriage return, causing a new line.
In the properties, Accept Return is False.

I am using a multililne textbox and I want to take the text typed and merge it with another string. So for example....
CoverPage = Replace(CoverPage,
Me.Note.Replace("{", "{").Replace("}", "}"), txtNote.Text)
Where Me.Note is a string that I am looking for and replacing it with the contents of txtNote.text. And then storing it all back in the string CoverPage.CoverPage is an rtf string that will holds place holders for the text I want to change.(That works) But when i update the note that may have a carriage return in it, the coverpage does not reconize the carriage returns comping from the Multiline textbox when its displayed.I have tried replaceing Enivronment.Newline with vbCr, vbCrl and whatever else I can think of. is there an issue with taking a string carriage control and tranfering it to a rtf carriage control?

VBA 2008, Powerpoint office 2007. .NET.when i typed in a RichTextBox or Textbox. (sorry if it matters which text box i am using) maybe
" Hello, I am Russell!
i love you very much
that is all!"
maybe like this. and send this over to another device.when i received the message , i got " Hello, I am Russell!i love you very muchthat is all!"It did not read my CR or Enter. how do i implement this so that if there is any CR i can detect where it is and put it in accordingly?

I'm using VB.Net and I am creating a mobile application. I have a checkbox that the text needs to be on more than one line. I've tried everything including setting the text property on the load screen function and using the vbCrLf and I just see the Line feed square but not multiple lines. I've also tried resizing the box and that didn't work either. how to make the text span multiple lines?

Using vb.net/asp.net 2005
I am trying to create a string message for an email that I am sending out from my asp.net page like so:
For Each dr In dtDataTable.Rows
strMessage = strMessage & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Environment.NewLine & dr.Item("UserName") & Environment.NewLine
Next
so I am looping through a datatable and getting each name from each row, that is working well but when I get the email it appears in my inbox with all the names mashed together, you see I am trying both vbcrlf and newline but looks like neither is working

I have to text file in the following format :
Word[tab][tab]Word[Carriage Return]
Word[tab][tab]Word[Carriage Return]
Word[tab][tab]Word[Carriage Return]
I want to get all the words before the tab into one array or to create a new text file and the all the words after the tab into another array or create a new text file too.
Here my function to get the words before tab into an array :
Protected Sub MakeWordListBeforeTab()
Dim filename As String = "D:lao�0001.txt"
'read from file'
[Code].....
I wrote the above function to get all words before tab but I got all the words into array. I've been trying to use the Split method above. What is another method to split those words ?
I know this can be done with regular expression but I don't know regex yet. If you can show me how to get this done with regex it'll be awesome.

I am pasting data from an Excel spreadsheet and and adding a 0 to the start of each 9 digit string it's it's missing. This works great if I'm pasting from notepad but from excel I see from this line of code
RTBUserID.Text = RTBUserID.Text.Substring(1, RTBUserID.TextLength - 1)
that there seems to be a carriage return (denoted by a square)
System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox, Text: 62818972" & vbLf & "62819154" & vbLf & "62999101" & vbLf & "62985054" & vbLf & "...}
Question is, how to I remove it.I have tried the following code but to no avail..
For x As Integer = 0 To RTBUserID.Text.Length - 1
RTBUserID.SelectionStart = x
RTBUserID.SelectionLength = 1

[code]The code within the Private Sub replace the spaces within txtCallnumber.Text with carriage return line feed and does what I need it to, but when I place the code into the Private Sub that is above it places the carriage return line feed into the cells in the datagridview: column(CALL NUMBER). The txtCallnumber.Text is bound to the DataGridView column(CALLNUMBER). I do not want the DataGridView column(CALLNUMBER) to have the carriage return line feed

I am generating report in word(i.e) I am exporting all the data from the database and replacing it in with the placeholder in the word document. While the data is being retrieved from the database if the data contains any enter or new line character it retrieves it with the boxes and hence it replaces the string in the word with boxes such as for eg. abc and then box icon and then xyz on other line for abc...xyz text.how can i eliminate the box icon and still display the data as above? I have tried replacing the character using chr(11), chr(13), system.newline etc but the box icon still exists? Is there any other way i can perform the above task?

I have a text box on a form. Within this text box is a bunch of text that includes some CrLf. I want to replace the CrLf with <P> so I can convert it to HTML.
I *THOUGHT* I could use something like...
Textbox.Text.Replace(vbCrLf, <P>)
...but that doesn't work.

I have project that communicates with an embedded device via Telnet and displays the data string in a RichTextbox. Here is the (weird) problem: every time I send a command, the device responds, at the end of the response there is a prompt on a NEW LINE. However, when I ASCII encode the bytes received and display the string, the prompt is on the same line as the response in the text box. So I looked at the bytes for several different commands and the response always starts with a 13,10,13 which is CR, LF, CR, that puts the response on a new line, also displayed on a new line in the text box.
However, at the end of the response, there is always a 13,13,10 (CR,CR,LF) followed by the prompt, but in the text box the prompt is NOT on a new line it is merely a couple of spaces after the response. The funny thing is that this behavior is absolutely not present in Hyper Terminal, or Tera Term applications, when I connect to the device using Tera Term, the prompt is always on a new line. Even the VS IDE shows this correctly in the Output window, every prompt is on a new line. I can not for the life of me figure out why this behaves differently in my RichTextbox. I have experimented with different settings for the textbox, but so far nothing worked.

I've seen this type of line in many post on here..I been rolling this over in my head and i think that this line or something close to it is a bad idea. For index As Integer = ListView1.Items.Count -1 the above line assumes that on the last line the person has hit the enter button which is VBCrLf(carriage return and Line Feed) in which case the above line would be ok..however if the last line does not contain a CrLf then you in effect are skipping the last line.
