sub textbox1_lineindexchanged (byval ....) Handles Textbox1.Lineindexchanged
'do code based on the current line

I am using a richtextbox, just I always used it so I just call it a textbox.
I know it seems like a simple enough question, but I can't figure out how to get and set the current line of text. Say line 4 is "Hello World", I want to be able to recieve that this says "Hello World" then switch it with something else if need be.

View 11 Replieseven Word Pad, when you scroll your Caret (the I-beam for browsing through text) through the text, in the font combobox, the font of the text you are browsing through will be displayed, and when you scroll your caret through a different font, the font will be changed. If you're confused, look at attatched picture.
I cannot seem to find a caret position changed event on the normal richtextbox control - and if anyone can show me a custom component with this it would help me a huge amount.So my basic question is how can i replicate the formentioned function in my own VB.NET program.No code is necessary just constructive suggestions, or links to other projects would be welcome.

I use Fileystemwatcher to watch a certain folder on our network share and wan't to count the lines in a textbox. I have 2 richtextboxes, the first one will display the line number and the second one displays the change/deleted/renamed file. I am able to display the total of lines in a label, but also want to show the line numbers in a richtextbox, but the problem is that it adds the number to the current, it needs to add the number on a new line.

I'm working on an app in which the user copy and pastes from a website into a richtextbox then the program uses the phone number, name and "match by string" from the richtexbox. What is copied is like an Excel table type thing but all the data is in Column "A". The data isn't tab deliminated. If i split on spaces then that will give incorrect results since some of the pieces of data have spaces in them. It looks like I'm about to do some really nasty ugly coding to get to the values I need. take a look at this snippet of data and tell me of a graceful way of getting the name, phone number and that last value in the line if such coding exists? This is the info I would need to pickup on in the first row of data. SHEKITA LLOYD, (xxx) 956-80, and Non-Payment of premium.
This is a sample of the data:

08xx57 350xxx1xxx SHEKITA LLOYD (xxx) 956-80 Cancelled Non-Reinstateable 11/18/2011 Non-Payment of premium;

how to read text from a listbox line by line and put current line in a label?
View 3 RepliesHow do I force users to save the current record (if current record has changed) and not let user go to the next record unless the save button is pressed?
View 5 RepliesI am working on a way to determine if the lines of a RichTextBox have changed.I currently use this
Dim newhash As Integer = Me.Text.GetHashCode
If newhash <> Me._prevhash Then
Me._prevhash = newhash
Me._lines = MyBase.Lines
[code]....
But this method has a bad issue: The text property takes a while to "load up" plus getting its hash code adds to it. This code runs every time the Lines are needed (it is a property). So this
For i As Integer = 0 To Lines.Count - 1
Dim line As String = Lines(i)
Next
Takes ages to complete, because for every line it checks if the lines have changed.I am trying to evade using MyBase.Lines too much, since that REALLY takes ages to load.
- I can not use the modified property since it is unreliable (set to true if only a text color changes)
- Can't use the RTF since it changes without the text changing (coloring) and the hash code is slow as well.
- Can't use the TextChanged event, since it is sent after the SelectionChanged event (for some reason)
Basically I am looking for if I click on my checkbox, it should reset my datagrid column lastseqno to 0. Is it possible?
View 1 RepliesI have a datagridview having 3 columns (qty,scraft factor,actuall qty). What I want is if the user encode 50 in qty and 2 in scraf factor, actuall qty will automatically computed based on qty multiply by 2. I was using keyup event. Now I am using endedit to get the current value of the current row and column, now the problem is if the amount to be encoded is more than one digit it will not accept because of endedit. What event do I have to used? or any solution with this scenario.

The following code selects a line ina richtextbox. It works OK expect from one problem:
When a line is biger than the size of the richtextbox, it wraps it. This create a big problem as I can not select the last line of the richtextbox (when a line is wrapped it becomes two lines). When I set wordwrap to off it works just fine

View 1 RepliesTo read any form's text (except RichTextBox) line by line I've always used this splitting
Dim Lines() as String = Split(TextBox1.Text, vbNewLine)MsgBox(Lines(0))This code just works perfectly.But whenever I try this code on a RichTextBox like this:Dim Lines() as String = Split(RichTextBox1.Text, vbNewLine)MsgBox(Lines(0))The message box appears with the whole lines.I think maybe the RichTextBox1.Text() returns another new line character (means not vbNewLine).

I have data coming in to my serial port, which is just a 6 digit number.
textbox1.text = serialport1.readline()
In the textbox_text_changed sub. I need to do something with this number, but only if it has changed by more than 2%. I need the 2% as the number coming in is fluctuating a little bit so I don't want anything triggered if it's less than 2%.
Is there a way I can add an event for when a value is changed, because, I need to add an OnDisconnected() event that detects when the mobjlistener.Connected value has changed...would I have to do a timer, is there a way I can do an event for getting disonnected?
mobjClient = New TcpClient("IP", 5000)
I would rather not add a timer, I would rather have an event that fires when mobjlistener.Connected changes, but if I can't I will go ahead and use the timer instead.The problem I have that I need to detect when this changes is because sometimes I get disconnected for an unknown reason using the TCP Multi-User Chat, it has handlers for disconnected, but whatever is causing the disconnect, it is just not detecting it, so if I could make it so that it will trigger when this is changed, then I can stop the problem I have once and for all.

View 6 RepliesI'm working on a Windows Service that watches a few folders for changes, creations, and deletions. It all works well with the exception of one watcher that watches a single file (XML File with Configuration Settings) for minor changes.
I tried taking the Windows Service code and putting it into a simple windows application with start/stop buttons for the filesystem watchers and stepped through it. It never detects the file change of the XML config file. The changes are indeed occurring and the "Date Modified" of the file is updating.
XmlEventReferences = New System.IO.FileSystemWatcher()
XmlEventReferences.Path = "C:XmlReferences"
XmlEventReferences.Filter = "*.xml"

View 3 RepliesI've been searching all over and I'm either not searching for the right words or it just doesn't exist. I've got a datagridview (dgv) on a form with some textboxes that are databound to different fields in the dgv's datasource. I want to capture an event if someone changes a value through one of the databound controls so I can mark the row as modified. I've been going through the dgv events trying to capture something, but I can't find anything that fires when a value is changed. The dgv is read only, so the values can only be changed through the databount textboxes.
How to I know if someone changes a value in the dgv? Is there a setting in the dgv that will tell me if a row is modified?
I have a DataGridView that uses a BindingSource to display my underlying DataTable. When the user makes a change to a row in the DataGridView the BindingSource's DataBindingComplete event fires. I'd like to get the DataTable's DataRow that caused this event. How do I do this?

View 1 RepliesI have an number of text boxes and comboboxes on different forms. I have textchanged events which trigger a msgbox if the user enters invalid data(i.e. the number they enter is to big or to small). Is their a simple way to make the program not call the textchanged event when the form is loaded and the boxes get their initial value? Second is their a way to make the textchanged only be triggered when the user enters data not when the program clears the boxes?
