View 1 RepliesI have created a basic query generator which allows a user to select the Select, WHERE and criteria attributes using a number of checkboxes.However i have got stuck. In the results form i have the following code
Private Sub DisplayRecord()
RichTextBox1.Text = ds.Tables("newResults").Rows(intCurrentRecord).Item(0)
RichTextBox2.Text = ds.Tables("newResults").Rows(intCurrentRecord).Item(1)
RichTextBox3.Text = ds.Tables("newResults").Rows(intCurrentRecord).Item(2)
[code]....
The program keeps on crashing if the user does not select the corresponding amount of display records from above for the amount of attributes they want for the SELECT part of the query in the intreface in form 1.
How would i go about making something where the number of SELECT attributes selected which are listed in a string create the correct number of textbox fields in the results form (form2)
We have a form that is saved to the system tray and can be viewed in one of two ways.One view is like a rectangle and the other view is more of a square. In either case, there is a MaximumSize set on the form. We would like to use WindowState to toggle between the two by allowing the user to click the Maximize / Restore icons in the title bar.The problem is that when the user clicks the Maximize icon, the form jumps to the upper left corner of the screen. This is logical, since a maximized form should be anchored to the upper left. But in our case, the MaximumSize property prevents it from fully maximizing. The actual size is around 800 by 400. If they then click the Restore icon for the second view, it jumps back down to the original location.

View 5 RepliesI am trying to bind a textbox to a binding source (using the IDE DataBindings Editor) and it works fine except for one thing: if I delete the text I get the subject error. What I want to happen is the datarecord field be updated to a dbnull value -- how do I get that to happen?
View 4 RepliesSo with the stock Textbox, I set the Scrollbars property to Vertical. This is great if the text in my box never changes; I can scroll up and down while the box sits still. If I'm running a background operation that logs output to the box though, the scrollbar resets itself to the top every time I append text to the box.
I know I can set the Textbox.Selection property (or use the Select method) to reposition the carat in the textbox, make note of that position in a variable, then append text, reset the carat, and use the ScrollToCarat method to reposition the scrollbar where it belongs. That's a really (ridiculously) long way around. Anybody know if there's another/better way of holding the scrollbar position, short of actually building a custom control (or using a Textbox and a separate Scrollbar)? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.

just ran into an odd problum with treeview node text I add a top node and I wanted it's text in bold. The bold works fine but half the text is missing
Here an example
vbnet
Dim sFont As New Font("Verdana", 8, FontStyle.Bold)
Tv1.Nodes.Add("TOP", "0123456789", 0, 0)
The code above for me only shows 012345678 and not showing the 9 any ideas if I use regular style it works fine only happens when I apply the bold style.
Basically, there's a Rich Text Box here, and it's read-only. The user can tab inside it, and move the arrow keys up and down it. If I can get my code to work (read the line where the cursor is). I am using the following code:
Code:
Dim RTBLine As Integer = Me.RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(Me.RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)
If RTBLine < 2 Then RTBLine = 1 'used to prevent errors

I am working on a scrolling text operation within a VB.net/ASP.net application. However, I am getting an error command from the following two commands:
Me.ScrollingMarquee.InnerHtml
Return Me.ScrollingMarquee.ClientID
The error is that the InnerHtml and ClientID properties are not recognized as members of the class. Apparently I am not using the correct DIM command for "ScrollingMarquee" (e.g. "Dim ScrollingMarquee As Control" is incorrect)).
I have a program written in vb.net 2003 which has text boxes for integer input. When the boxes appear, they are filled with the default value of zero. When the program is run on a computer running Windows XP the cursor appears in front (to the left) of the zero, but when run on Windows 7, the cursor appears behind (to the right) the zero.
In xp, if the user enters 1 (one) a 10 is diplayed and the user must delete the zero. In Windows 7, if the user enters 1, there is a leading zero which disappears once they have exited the text box. Is there a way to force one presentation or the other?
I have a small chat app. Type a message, press enter and the message is sent. Works fine...except the cursor is moved the the second line of the text box and i can't seem to get it back to the beginning

Dim shiftPressed As Boolean = False

i am trying to bring up a text message when the cursor moves over a certain label . No problems using the cursor enter .

I have a very wired problem. I have a txtbox which i attempt to act like a password box (ie. everything you type becomes ****)
I use a simple counter that just shows a * for each time the text is changed.However the "typer" wount follow, it just stays in the beginning. so the result is that the code is spelled backwards.

I'm trying to make it so that that user can enter predefined text by a button event (which will save them time typing). For example, they're writing a note in a textbox and then they click a 'Name" button which enters the name of the person into the text box at the place of the cursor, which will cut down on errors caused by typos.
So I need something like:
Button_click event()
textbox.AddAtCursor(person.name)
end sub
Is it possible to append text into a RichTextBox1 where the cursor is? (Ex: In-putting a string from TextBox1 to RTB1 where the user has the typing cursor at.)
View 2 RepliesI have a small application that displays a listbox under the cursor position when the user uses a shortcut key.
When the user double clicks a selection from the listbox I want to insert that selected text at the curser position of that opened window.
Example: user has microsoft word open. He/she uses a shortcut key that displays a listbox just under the cursor position. The listbox has a collection of text. When the user double clicks a selection that selected text is inserted at the cursor position.
I tried the following:
Private Sub ListBox1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.DoubleClick
Text.Insert(Cursor.Position, ListBox1.SelectedItem)
End Sub

View 4 RepliesUsing VB 2010 Express
My program writes text to a multiline textbox. After the input is finished, the cursor is at the end of the text. I want the program to position the cursor at the start of the text so that I can see it.
MSDN suggests:-
tbPositionCursor.Select(0, 0)
I believe the cursor is now repositioned, but I cannot see the start of the text. How do I scroll back automatically, refresh or whatever so that I can see the start of the text?
