View 2 RepliesI would be grateful if someone could explain how to highlight differences in html text which is pulled from an SQL database in VB ASP.net.I want to compare two rows of similar text in the database and highlight the paragraphs/areas which are different to display changes of previous versions of the text on a web page to the user.
View 2 Repliesi have a text box data is moved from there into a list box with the click of a button, i want the text in the box to dissapear when the button is pressed and the cursor to stay in the text box. This has to be possible as i have used this kind of thing on website forms.
View 3 RepliesI am making a "toast" in vb.net, and whenever it pops up, all the text in the body textbox is ALWAYS highlighted...how can I remove the highlight programmatically?[code]....
Always, the text inside BodyL (which is a textbox), highlights itself.I tried adding in toast.Focus() at some points, but that did not work.
Getting an error highlighting the text "next"...List that this enumerator is bound to has been modified. An enumerator can only be used if the list does not change.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a sub that will highlight the text of a RTB that is passed.
Here is the code:
Private Sub SearchAll(ByVal selectedRichTextBox As RichTextBox)
Dim startPos As Int16 = 0
Dim matchPos As Integer = selectedRichTextBox.Find(TextBoxSearchFor.Text, startPos, selectedRichTextBox.Text.Length, RichTextBoxFinds.None)
selectedRichTextBox.SelectionBackColor = Color.Yellow
[Code] .....
I want to search as text is entered into a text box. All works as it should. When the search highlights the first character of the string then ALL following searches have this same color.
For example: I have a listbox with a list of titles. As I move through the titles the RTB displays the story line associated with the title.
RTB = "A big brown box and an apple is the mystery" Search for "a" (All conversions to common case) will highlight all the "a"s. BUT when I click on the next title, ALL the text is now highlighted.
There have been many variations tried and all without success.
I have a textbox for the search string I have a listbox with a list of titles I have a RTB with text associated with each listbox title.
Private Sub FindAll(RTB As RichTextBox, ByVal StartPos As Integer, ByVal SearchText As String)

I have a program which writes to a .log file as it is installing software. Some of the lines will contain either WARNING or FAILED.
What I would like, is a window in my program which will read the .log file and display the content into this window as it is being written too. Any lines which contain WARNING or FAILED in them are highlighted yellow/red.
Well i want to compare 2 strings (version one and version two) and get the differences in a format that i can convert to html on my own, like you can view how a post was edited here on stack*overflow* or like svn tracks differences between revisions....
It must be full managed code library.
Like this JavaScript but i need to do it on the server-side..
First time post, new to VB etc. I wonder if you can with what I figure should be a very simple VB.NET query [using VS2008, targeting Compact Framework 3.5,WM6 Pro Emulator].

I have 2 different files containing data in a CSV in following format:
CSV1
HTML
ID:,Descp
498 ,1010
[Code....
I am wondering if it is recommended to use Vb.Net Dictionary to load these files and compare and report only the entries that mismatch into datagrid..
note the entries in CSV2 - 625 & 778 are different from CSV1 and are to be loaded to the datagrid..
I'm trying to create a little program that compares the text from two richtextboxes and displays the differences in text between the two. I.E. one text box contains "i like cheese" and the other contains "i like blue cheese" I want it to display the word blue in a 3 richtextbox. I'm just not sure what the best way to go about it is
View 5 RepliesI have a form with a Textbox, RichTextBox, and a CopyToolStripButton.When I select text in the TextBox control, I can right click the mouse to get a menubox (cut, copy, paste, delete, select all) but when I select text in the RichTextBox and right click the mouse I do not get a menubox.Is this simply a difference in the controls, or do I need to enable a property on the RichTextBox to get this functionality?
This difference between Textbox and RichTextBox is evident even without the CopyToolStripButton code, so I am guessing it might have something to do with inherent or default properties of the controls themselves.At any rate,I would like to get this funcionality for the RichTextBox control as well.
I have two multiline textboxes, and I want to compare and count the text differences between them. The algorithm appears very complex.. To be exact, I need to check for the spelling mistakes (spaces and newlines can be ignored..)

View 1 RepliesI have a MyObject; myObjects as List(Of MyObject) and a delegate Comparison(Of MyObject) that uses a lot of comparison functions (ByA, ByB, ByC etc) Ã la:

When I enter a vb.net textbox, if there is data in it, I want it to be highlighted. I looked around and couldn't find a property that would do this so I do the following:I built a little subroutine that does the highlighting and then call it from the ENTER and CLICK event on each text box.

View 7 RepliesI've been trying to get syntax highlighting for a RichTextBox.I am struggling trying to code it myself, so I looked around a bit, and found a cool .dll file called ColorCode.
[URL]
So I went into my project and imported the ColorCode.dll file. (Project>Add Reference)However, I don't know how to use it!?Is there anyone out there that has used this .dll file?How can I use it to get Syntax Hilighting in RichTextBox1?
Looking in the "Display Items" list in the "Fonts and Colors" section of options, I don't see a way to color code dates. I can color numbers, strings, comments... all kinds of stuff, are Date and DateTime hiding under something else?
View 1 RepliesI've been looking everywhere for a solution to this problem. I'm new to VB, well programming in general, and am using VS2010 ultimate. Everything has been running smoothly until recently. For some reason, there is no syntax highlighting for my code. All other code is highlighted and colored correctly, just VB is not. All i get is black characters. Keywords, comments, everything is black! I have attempted to reset all the settings, and I have made sure that the font settings are all set to default.

I am using this code for syntax highlighting in RTB and it works pretty nicely except for the flickering part.
VB.Net
Private Sub txt_source_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txt_source.TextChanged
Dim words As New List(Of String)
words.Add("<p>")
words.Add("</p>")
[Code]...
How would I prevent Rich Text Box from flickering?
I have a richtextbox on my form and currently have made a simple syntax highlighting for it. It works great with a small amount of text but as the text amount increases it starts flashing and locks the textbox while typing.
This is my current code. I call the sub on the textchanged event.Basically what happens is I have a list of words that it checks for and if it finds it, it colors the word.
