Tb.SelectionStart = 5
tb.SelectionLength = 10
And seperatly
tb.Select(5,10)
However, visualy I can not see any selected text in the textbox.

On my form, i've got some textboxes and some richtextboxes. I'm using the following code, to search through the text properties of each of the two types of control. see below:-
For Each ctl As Control In Me.Controls
If ctl.Text = "7777" Then
ctl.Text = "found the sevens"
End If
Next
What i'd like to do is isolate the textboxes only, is there a way to do that? I tried this but i got an error:-
For Each box As TextBox In Me.Controls
If box.Text = "7777" Then
box.Text = "Found"
End If

I'm working on a project in vb.net 2010 that has 3 RichTextBoxes. Two of the RichTextBoxes can be loaded with text from text files. How do I take the multiple lines of text from each RichTextBox and combine them into the 3rd RichTextBox.
For example, if 2 of the RichTextBoxes contain the following lines of text:
(RichTextBox1)
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
(RichTextBox2)
Jan
Feb
Mar
I want the 3rd RichTextBox to show following result:
(RichTextBox3)
MondayJan
TuesdayFeb
WednesdayMar
Well, I have a MenuStrip1 with submenu "Open File1" and "Open File2".
An OpenFileDialog1, two RichTextboxes and a button called "Check".
When I open txt files into RichTextboxes, by clicking the check button i want it to compare the two contents and focus the differents with a color (let's say yellow).
I have created a simple project and at the end it only says with a MessageBox if files are the same or different.

Now, how can I get the ID of the Div, by selecting text in his Field?
For example, if the user selects the text "Div1 - Text" (or part of him), the result should be "ID1".
if the user selects the text "Div2 - Text" (or part of him), the result should be "ID2", and so on.
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.
Is it posable to do something like this?
For i = 0 To 10
TextBox(i).text = Data(1,i)

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 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.
I'm using VB (visual studio) 2008. I'm trying to search a microsoft word file and select/copy text from it What i want to do
a. 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 above?
I've figured out how to search for the word (question) but not managed to figure out the rest of it. Heres the code so far

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?
View 6 RepliesI 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 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?
On a button click i want to first select "vb dotnet forums" and on next click immediately select "are the best" (in a richtextbox control) .
View 6 Repliesi 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:
''# Define the array
random(0) = "tl"
random(1) = "tc"
random(2) = "tr"

as you can see, I can't simply do StartPoint.Text = "O", even thought StartPoint holds the name for the button.

View 2 RepliesHow do I combine richtextboxes? Currently, I am directly saving rich text to a RTB with ".rtf" and I would like to append the rich text information to that box from another RTB. Something like: RTB.rtf &= newrichbox.rtf do not throw any flags but also does not work. What I am ultimately trying to do is save multiple richtextboxes to a single RTF file. I was trying to do it by combining them all into one RTB and using ".savefile()" or is there a better way? Maybe appending them to the file one RTB at a time?
What I'm doing is generating a report, so I have built generic rich text templates that go into multiple RTBs that will create the form sections and I have left placeholders for the data I am adding, so I do replaces on the placeholders to insert the data. However, there are a couple dozen different possible formats for the report based on user options, so I built each section into its own RTB so I can just write out the relevant sections when it comes time to generate the file.
How do I add tables to a RichTextBox in VB.NET 2010?
