I was checking out the internet to get some information on VScrollBar control in VB.NET, however I can't find any useful information on what I am trying to do, as I have never worked with VScrollBar before.
What I am trying to do is use a VScrollBar control to handle scrolling of two Richtextboxes (i.e. synchronized scrolling) because each line of richtextbox1 is associated with the corresponding line of richtextbox2.
I am trying to use values from form1 in my project, in form2, but Im not sure how to do it. I've tried
txtboxTotal = (Form1.vsbLength * Form1.vsbWidth) * Pattern
But I get: operator '*' is not defined for types 'System.Windows.Forms.VscrollBar' and 'Systems.Windows.Forms.VscrollBar.'
how to use VscrollBar and HorizontalScrollBar in vb.net 2005
View 1 RepliesCan a vscrollbar be used in a groupbox. I have a group box with lots of items in it, but my program window is not long enough to diplay all of it. I wan to tuse the scroll bar in the groupbox.
View 2 RepliesDo the VScrollBar and HScrollBar controls have a known Value bug?I'm using VB10. While testing some code I used a Horizontal Scroll Bar to change a value on the fly, I thought my code had some bad math in it until I discovered that when the bar is scrolled to the very far right the Value was not equal to its Maximum value setting like it is in VB6, the same happens for the Vertical scroll bar control, set the maximum to 100 the Value will only go up to 91, set max to 200 and value only goes to 191, etc.
View 4 RepliesI'm looking to reverse the functionality of a VScrollBar in VB.NET - I would like the number to increase when the up button is pressed and decrease when the down button is pressed.I'm surprised that this issue isn't more commonly represented online, but I could find nothing online about making a VScrollBar work the way I want it to in VB.NET. Apparently in VB 6.0, you were able to flip the Min and Max values and this achieved what I desire to do, but they removed that feature in VB.NET
View 1 RepliesI want to make a working ScrollBar for my form size. Why this doesn't work?
VScrollBar1.Value = Form1.Size
I'm currently working on an application that detects a color on a defined area on the screen and together with a panel that displays the color I show the values in a label and represent them with a vscrollbar. (The goal of the project is to output the color of the computer screen via an usb to dmx interface to create an ambilight effect) Now I don't want the user to be able to move the scrollbars up and down so I figured disabling them would do the trick but then the little square you click on to scroll it up and down isn't visible anymore.

I have a fairly simple VScrollbar problem: the Scroll event triggers when ANY arrow key is pushed, including left and right... I need it to trigger only when up/down arrow keys are pushed (which, I hope, is the default behaviour).
Essentially all I do is declare a VScroll As System.Windows.Form.VScrollBar and later I have a Private Sub VScrollBar_Scroll (...) Handles VScroll.Scroll that manages the event.
I noticed also that the left/right arrow scrolling is by a smaller increment than the up/down scrolling. All of this seems to happen in a very "black box" kind of way, I can't find any way of determining what should trigger the scroll event.
I have a program that outputs a series of items onto a form--an "invoice" if you would like. The problem is, when the user enters in more items than the invoice's size can handle the rest just disappears into the mysterious realm down at the bottom. Is there a way where I can make the label automatically detect items going in and create a vscrollbar or something similar so that it can accommodate it's size?

View 1 Repliesi want to embed a control in richtextbox , so that when ever i am writing or editing (text changed ) the control should automatically Change its position.

View 3 RepliesDrawing on top of a RichTextBox control has always been a pain due to the Paint event, and related OnPaint() method being suppressed. Here is a bit of code that gets around this issue.The following derived RichTextBox will use a seperate NativeWindow control to hook into the message stream of the RichTextBox, listen for the WM_PAINT message, and then raise the Paint event on the RichTextBox for you.In this way, it is possible to use the Paint event handler of the RichTextBox control to paint on top of the control after it has performed its default rendering of the text.The following code is an initial implementation but appears to be pretty solid so far. 'Based in part on code located at: [URL]
''' <summary>
''' A RichTextBox object which raises, and utilizes, its own Paint event.

I may continue to expand upon this idea, but I wanted to get the initial code out here as this seems to be the minimum to get the painting functionality to work.Reed Kimble - "When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all"
After scouring the inter-webs for info on printing in vb.net, it seems to me that it's pretty difficult.
My question is, is there a simple way to print something that is in a RichTextBox control?
I am working in vb2008. I understand how to set a richtextbox's selectedstart property to a text block using .find. I would like to know how to tell the richtextbox to scroll to the selected position based upon the find operation and show its position at the top of the window. I would like to pass text blocks into my richtextbox control and have the control automatically scrolll to that position if the text block is found.

why havent' experts made a toolbox item/control that is say called console? like they seem to have many others dialogbox - browse box etc...? It has been years since VB.net has been out. why why dont they make one??huh? I have looked all over net and it ant no easy job either.
I mean all the code i see makes it very difficult you have to be an expert just to make the coding. Is there some class or something that maybe a beginner/intermediate might be able to tackle..
