I have encountered a small issue with coding a portion of my Visual Basic program. In my program, I have a variable that contains text data. I would like to be able to select certain text in the variable and place it into a textbox.
For example, my variable is called strCallInfo.
strCallInfo contains the following value:
Address: 123 Law Rd
Location Info: Carbon Police Department
[Code].....
Note that the values in the textboxes are equal to values in the string variable. The only problem I am encountering is how to sort the string and place certain values into specific text boxes.
How can I store a specific line of text into a variable? Do I need some sort of array? For example:
1. My 2. Dog 3. Sat 4. On 5. Your 6. Bird
Let's say I only want line 4..Can I Copy an entire line of text just by searching a text file for a string, such as swf?**For example: I want to get a line of text saying http://mywebsite.com/myflash.swf, just by knowing the .swf extension.
I was wonder how, if you can, can I create a WebBrowser control or something similar to this, that will contain a selected area of information, and that information only. So it doesn't load and show the whole web page, only the part I choose.
For example, I would only want to show the weather portion of this webpage: [URL]
How can I get a specific area of a webpage, loaded into a form, that is able to be reloaded/refreshed later on?
Here's how I'm trying to manually select a specific item in my combobox. cbEditCategory.SelectedIndex = cdEditCategory.Items.IndexOf(editItemCategory) I setup a msgbox to show "cdEditCategory.Items.IndexOf(editItemCategory)" and it's reporting -1. Why is it not giving me the right index?
I just started learning VB.NET about a moth ago (I have been taking classes, so its been about 5 days worth of classes) and I decided to work on this project idea I had. Essentially, it's a database to keep track of anime and manga that I, or whoever else uses it, have watched/read.[code]...
However, now I want to make it so that when one selects a specific title in the list box, it will show the data in the tags below the <series> tag that matches the item selected in a label. One thing I just thought of is than since the list box gets populated in the order that the series are in, it could be easier to go in order from first item equaling the first <series> and so on.
I am creating an application with html using vb as the back end. Microsoft Visual Studio is the application I am using.I have two drop down boxes...one called department, the other program. When a department is selected, I want the program dropdown to only display the programs that are associated with the department chosen. I have found several different codes to do this but nothing has worked so far.
I have a datasource linked to a table in a database.When I wnated to display this data on a form, I just dragged the datasource onto the form and it did everything for me, including the code to fill it;
My problem, is that this program will have multiple users, and I don't other users to be able to see each others data. So the problem with the above statement is that it fills the table with ALL the data in the datasource. How can I make it only display data that is for a specific user?Here's the code that is used to fill the tableadapter:
Private Sub frmViewCurrent_Load(ByVal[code].......
I have search system that works like charm: 1> Searches specific folder for text files which contain specific word 2> Puts those text file names and/or paths to listbox However i want it to put (instead of InputStr) the specific line where word is found in text file to listbox.
I have two RichTextBoxes in my vb.net application (rtf1 & rtf2). rtf1 is loaded with the external data. Mostly It contains para split into different sections. The paragraph is a dynamic data, hence the no. of words keep on changing. Now my question is that, I want to select a para from the cluster, copy it and paste it into rtf2.
Manually I did as, Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
[Code]....
Here only i could find the starting position and length. without knowing the ending postion, i couldnot specify the number of characters. how to select "para content goes here is a multiline" only from the [para content goes here is a multiline]?
Actually the contents of Rtf1 is in the .txt format. But I knew only
My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("xyx.txt")
so, if i can select the para in the .txt file before reading it into rtf1, it will be more useful.
I am developing a search tool for my company. I got the searching to work and the results to append to a text box. I need to be able to click on the line in the text box and then open adobe or do etc. I can't figure out how to make the text box "selectable" I guess you could call it. Is there another way to do this or am I just missing a property?
I have an SQL database, and 50 text files, and Visual Basic 2010 Premimum,I need to find a specific line of text in the text files and then take the next 37 lines of text and save them in my database. I need advice as to point me in the right direction
With a textbox1 how can I make it so with one click, it highlights all the text in there? I tried this with no luck. Private Sub TextBox1_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.GotFocus TextBox1.SelectAll() End Sub
I have a program with several textboxes - some of the textboxes contain predetermined text that needs to be appended to later by the user.For example:Textbox1 contain the start of a case number as this is the same for every case number (EG: CA0000).When a user is pressing tab to cycle through the text boxes and gets to textbox1 it highlights CA0000 and the user can accidentally erase that when he types if not paying attention.Is there a way so that when the focus turns to Textbox1 it automatically sets the cursor at the end of any text in that box?
I am placing 2 of these on my form and want to do the following:
1. When the control is not Focused and the user clicks inside the control, I want to highlight all text within the control. I expect to use SelectAll() to accomplish this.
2. When the control IS Focused and the user clicks inside the control, I want standard actions to occur; i.e., the user can click-and-drag to highlight, double-click to highlight,
3. When the user leaves the control (clicks on something elsle), if the control is empty, I want to populate it with pre-defined text. If it's not empty, leave text as-is.
I'm having problems, though, with figuring out #1 and #3. I have tried Enter/Leave, GotFocus/LostFocus to no avail. With Enter/Leave, the text will highlight the first time a user enters the control, but I can't seem to get the program to think the user has "left" the control. That is, the "Enter" code will not fire again.
I also thought about using the Click event, but I don't want the SelectAll() code to fire for EVERY click in the TextBox controls.
i have this error in the line of with xl.active......Object variable or With block variable not set.
Dim xl As Object xl = CreateObject("Excel.Application") With xl.ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _ "TEXT;C:Documents and SettingsUserDesktop429MEDICA2.TXT", _ Destination:=xl.Range("$A$1"))
Is it possible to create a variable that is global for each session in ASP.NET? Usually I do this with Session:
Session("my_variable") = 10 But this necessitates casting it every time I want to use it like so: Dim my_variable as String = CInt(Session("my_variable"))
changing the rest of the date?I mean... I have this...:vb 'current date at my gameDim time As Date = #9/29/0001 12:23:00 PM# 'another date variableDim period_lunch as date = #1:00:00 PM# 'and later at a Sub, I try to do this...time.Hour = period_lunch.Hour 'and I get an error saying time.Hour is read only I only want to set the hour to 1:00 PM of the SAME day of the time variable, not the one contained in period_lunch, that is. And the only built in procedures I see in the date object are for adding or subtracting WHOLE hours, minutes, etc. I will need to compare both dates, subtracting the difference and adding it to the former?
I have a form with a richtextbox and a scrollbar. I want to be able to keep appending text to the textbox without loosing my selection. I can save the selectionstart and selectionlength before I append the text and set it back and it works. The problem is when it comes to reverse selecting. The best I could do is set back the selectionstart at the right position but I have to move the mouse so it selects text again. I'm using the following functions before and after I append the text:
Private Sub StopRepaint() Dim pt As Point ' Stop redrawing: SendMessage(txtchat.Handle, WM_SETREDRAW, 0, pt)
[code].....
My main goal is to be able to select and copy text even when new text is being appended to the richtextbox. Anyone knows how to correctly select text in reverse OR easily fix my problem about text being deselected?
i have a simple notepad application where i want a feature of selecting text which is underlined. Usually what happens is when i click a button the app reads a text file and underlines random text in the richtextbox. What i want is on the click of another button to select the text which is underlined. I thought of creating char range, regex all but not getting anywhere. I also dunno how to build a regex.
What i know is since all RTF texts are different we can choose the rtf text instead of simple text to select the underlined text. The rtf of underlined text in my application is this uli0 so manyulnonei where ul and ulnone mark the text as underlined. Now i want to select all such texts which are surrounded by uli0 and ulnonei . I thought of the following method :
1) Create another richtextbox2
2) Paste the text of richtextbox1 as rtf in richtextbox2. I mean show the text in coded rtf (like above) instead of normal rtf.
3) Use simple find to select all the text which is surrounded by ul and ulnone tags
4) process the text.
But this step is very tedious. If anyone could help me in making a simple procedure or build a regex which could process the text surrounded by those tags,
I am making a game of tic tac toe, and I have 9 buttons lined up in a grid pattern. I want to select a random button for the computer to start the game from.
I have an array set up with all the names of my buttons, and I was thinking of picking a random entry from that array to start working from. This I have done fine, but I cannot change the text of a button. My code:
I'm using VB (visual studio) 2008. I'm trying to search a microsoft word file and select/copy text from itWhat i want to doa. Search for a string/word in a text document(i.e "question)b. When its found copy of text from that point to a point further down the document defined by a certain string ("a.")c. after this is done it will continue to look for the next time the same string occurs (i.e. "question"") and continue as aboveThis is to search a question paper and separate the questions out and save it separately .
