View 3 RepliesI have created a basic word processor and come across a small speed bump; I have used a rich text box as the input, the user will be able to paste an image into it with no problems.
However I can't seem to find away of browsing for an image in a directory to insert into the rich text box.
I have a richText box, and wht i want that there is a context menu for Copy , cut and paste.Wht i want that user could select a image and could paste into this rich text box..Please tell me how can i do this.

I am unable to load rich text files into my rich text box. It worked fine yesterday, would there have been anything I could have changed by accident?
With OpenFileDialog
.Filter = "Text format (*.txt)|*.txt|Rich Text Format (*.rtf)|*.rtf|All files (*.*)|*.*"
[Code]...
but I am getting the error File format is not valid when i attempt to open any Rich Text file
I have a rich text box which I use in order the user is able to add pictures, coloured writing, different font etc... however I need to load specific text in the rich text box when the user load the Form.how I can add (I guess) the HTML to load this every time the user load the form.
P.S the text will change depending on who loads the form so I can not do a simple
RichTextBox1.LoadFile("C:Documents and SettingsDesktopSigniture.rtf")
I am developing a WinForm application using VB.NET (I am fluent in C# as well, so post in whatever language) and have run into some trouble. I have an image on my form that I would like to expand when clicked on. I have all that logic set, but I want that when it expands, the user has to click on an 'X' in the upper right corner of the PictureBox to close the expanded image. While the image is being displayed, I don't want the user to be able to interact with the rest of the UI on the form.
Basically I need something along the lines of (pardon me for switching to HTML but I know this works there) creating a div that covers the whole screen, making it opaque, putting another div on top of that, and then putting the image and the 'X' button on top of that. I have tried using opaque forms (didn't work), and panels with a transparent backcolor (didn't work either). I've resorted to taking a screenshot of the form, setting it as the image of a PictureBox, and putting the PictureBox on top of that. However, that seems like way to much overkill.
My current layout is MainForm -> Dynamically create new Form and add it to Main Form -> Add PictureBox to Dynamic Form and set its image to be a screenshot of MainForm -> Add a PictureBox on top of that PictureBox and set its image to the expanded image that I want
Ok I am trying to make it so that if words are found within the 'Textbox1.text' they will be delete or remove or completely not allowed to even be entered into the text box. I have found a code on these forums from a previous post which has worked for me
View 6 RepliesI 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.
On the main form of my application, I have a Rich Text Box which is where the user will be entering information. The text is black. then, i have a button which calls the dialogue "Notes" A dialogue appears, with a rich text box. the user should then be able to enter text into the box, click "OK", and the text entered into the Notes dialogue be inserted to the rich text box on the main form -- with the font colour "Red". The rest of the text in the main rich text box on the main form should remain black.
View 2 RepliesI'm Making a Simple syntax highlighter and I'm Doing the highlighting in the text Changed event of a RTB and for obvious reasons I can't re highlight the whole document each time someone presses a key so i highlight one line each time the text changes. But this creates a Problem. If someone pastes code into the RichTextBox It only highlights the last Line. So is there a way to get if the user typed the text in with his keyboard or pasted it from the clipboard in the text Changed event?

Basically, I want to make sure that I can handle/prevent this error.Does Snippet B, solves the problem, if not is there other way so that I can prevent this error.BTW, this a web application and I am expecting multiple users.
I have a question, how would i have a button, then when you click it, it puts the text at the text cursor in the RTF?
View 5 Replieseveryone! I've been at this for a while, and I'm not sure how this issue can be resolved:I'm working on a project in VB.Net, and I have a form with a rich text box. I have a groupbox with 4 radio buttons inside that are intended to change the font color of the text. Coincidentally, I have to repeat this same functionality for a 2nd set of radio buttons that would change the text font family.
At any rate what I've only been able to do is the following to successfully change the font color of whatever text I highlight in the rich text box:
Private Sub rbtnBlack_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rbtnBlack.CheckedChanged
rtbxTextEditor.SelectionColor = Color.Black
End Sub
Private Sub rbtnRed_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rbtnRed.CheckedChanged
[Code]...
Is there a way that I could write a sub (I'm assuming I would use a sub, since I don't think I need to return anything, thus eliminating the use of a function) that would handle the action of changing the selected text color in the rich text box without having to use a separate sub for each radio button? Mind you, per my teacher's specs, she doesn't use a button handler for any of this.
is it possible to make first 60 characters in a rich text box a different color than the remaining text?
View 25 RepliesI will show 3 columns of text in rich text box. i want show the column border with color.i can separate the texts with tabs or spaces but showing data in columns and cells will improve the visual of my program .
View 1 RepliesOkay, so what I want to do is directly output formatted RTF text to a Rich Text Box control in VB.NET. I don't want to find the text, select it and color it as it is not practical for what I'm doing. I've tried outputting RTF code but that isn't working either. Can I actually do this or will I have to write a dll?
View 1 RepliesI am working on an applictation to scan windows files to check for missing files, i have a couple questions on how to do this.I would like to use the %systemroot%system32 that way that it doesn't matter what drive letter it is, i'm not sure how to do this because when i tried it, it told me the file i was looking for didn't exist (in this case C:windowssystem32 undll32.exe) which does exist. Is there some way to use the %systemroot%?
Also, i am trying to print the resaults to a rich text box such as if rundll32.exe is missing put in the box "rundll32.exe is missing". How do I allow it to write it in the box, I tried the print command, but it didn't work.
I've been wanting to create a look like the attached jpeg Ive been looking around for a few hours for a solution to make text boxes transparent or have a background image. I've found a few projects on this form and elsewhere which include transparent text boxes, but every time I try to use it the way I need to--with the text box over a picture box--there are always various rendering errors. Most of the time, the text box is transparent if its just placed on the form (not over any other controls). But when I place them over other controls (like picture boxes), the 'transparent background' always take on the color of the form background.
This is one that I was trying to use. I found a few others around, but they all had the same render errors more or less.[URL]...I figured transparency or background images would have been supported natively. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I missed something in my searches. I didn't really see anything which adds background images in text boxes (rich or otherwise). At this point, I'd just like anything that works, so it doesn't really need to have transparency--just a simple background image would be great.
How can I change certain text's color (like Visual Studio does with "Public Class" or "Public Sub") is inside of a Rich Text Box?

View 13 RepliesI want to protect specific text in rich text box , I tried with

above code is working fine but when i retreive data from database in .rtf format & I try to protect some text then its not working in first time it works second time
what I am trying to do is create an effect in a richtextbox so when the user types any text surrounded by Brackets { } is coloured a different colour to the rest of the text say blue for example. How would I go about doing this?
View 3 RepliesIn my program, I have retrieved several lines of text in RichTextBox1.text. I need to get a
name(without the colon) using a keyword that is on the same line.[code...]
Lets say I set a keyword "vacation" and I need the code to get the name Sara that is in the same
line.I have seen some tutorials that retrieve left, middle, right that gets maybe the last two
letters in the string etc but I need it to get the Name without the colon.
I'm trying to make a program that can do some statistics on text in a rich text box. I'd like to count the number of instances where text appears with a certain back color, for example where text is "highlighted" with yellow.
There seems to be no function to get the backcolor of text at a specific index, you can only get the backcolor of text which is selected, like this:
Dim backColor As Color
backColor = RichTextBox.SelectionBackColor
This means, by applying this nasty trick, I would have to manually select every character in the rich text box before I can find the backcolor:
For i = 0 To RichTextBox.Text.Length
RichTextBox.Select(i, 1)
If RichTextBox.SelectionBackColor = Color.Yellow Then
yellows = yellows + 1
End If
Next
However, this takes a very long time, because the program has to select and deselect every character.
What options are there to speed up the process? Disabling the paint event?
