I have a folder with a whole lot of music in it (*.mp3 files.). Now on my form I can play these songs in playlists, and other extra's. But now what I want to finish it, is to create a search function. Here is a picture of my Form. And what I want to add is a Listbox, TextBox and a button.
When I type: "Eye of the Tiger" in the Textbox and click the Button, All *.mp3 files in my folder, and the subfolders, with "Eye of the Tiger" in it, are added to the Listbox (The full name, like: "Survivor - Eye of the Tiger") will show at the Listbox. How can I do this, in an easy way, if possible.

My knowledge of VB.net is limited (only have been reading from the book)
so what i need to do for my project is to populate a listbox with files from a certain directory (C:folder)
then once it's populated, i can select an item and it will open up in a rich text box.
This is what i have so far for the active directory > list box:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktopfolder")
Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo

for now, i am using this code but it doesnt give me what i want.. for example i want to list all the items with the string "1"
Dim x, count As Integer
x = ListBox1.Items.Count

I'm trying to implement a search on a richtextbox. i want the scroll to move to the found area only if that area is out of the visible part of the text.
View 2 RepliesI have a RichTextBox where I expect 100 characters per line. Each line can start with the letter A, B, or C. I may have thousands of lines and most of them will start with the letter C.When the cursor is moved from one line to another and is placed on a "C" line, I need to be able to quickly locate the nearest "B" line above it. It may be hundreds of lines away. A loop to search for the "B" line using GetFirstCharIndexFromLine(x) is too slow.
The user may want to paste many lines into the textbox. If necessary, a mild wait after pasting is acceptable.Do you have any suggestions for a technique to accomplish what I need to do? Even just a high level suggestion like "use a linked list"
I am creating a machinists G-Code editor based on a couple of Rich Text Boxes. I am using one for the line numbering and synchronizing its scroll to the main RTB vScroll event. I've created a menu that populates a text line with a G-Code textual template for each command. The user presses the tab key to step through each input zone.

How to search richtextbox for a certain word?
View 5 RepliesI have a text box called "txtDescription" and listbox called "lstDetails" and a RichTextBox called "rttFullDes.
When the User inputs the search query into the description box(txtDescription) e.g "books" then it returns all the records that contains the word "books" and displays their Id in the listbox(lstDetails). When you click on the IDs it returns the full description in the Description box(rttFullDes)
This all works fine. But i want all the words to be hightlighted. i have got this code which i found.
Dim wordToFind As String = txtDescription.Text
Dim index As Integer = rttFullDes.Text.IndexOf(wordToFind)
While index <> -1
