VB6 - Search ListBox Elements?
Nov 29, 2010
I'm migrating an application from VB6 to VB.Net and I found a change in the behavior of the ListBox and I'm not sure of how to make it equal to VB6.The problem is this:In the VB6 app, when the ListBox is focused and I type into it, the list selects the element that matches what I type. e.g. If the list contains a list of countries and I type "ita", "Italy" will be selected in the listbox.The problem is that with the .Net version of the control if I type "ita" it will select the first element that starts with i, then the first element that starts with "t" and finally the first element that starts with "a".

I am needing to open up a file, it is a kml file, and I am wanting to search for a particular line and the replace some of the lines following that.
Dim file As New System.IO.FileStream(kmlFileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite)But I don't see any means in which to actually go through the file line by line in order to search for my criteria.

why my code doesn't work? I want the array elements to be loaded into a listbox when the button is clicked. Is it because not all elements in my array have been filled? I've tried putting the array declaration as a global variable and as a local one (below), but the same error occurs as soon as the button is clicked - "ArgumentNullException was unhandled".
Private Sub btnLoadCustomerNames_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoadCustomerNames.Click
'String array holds maximum 100 customer names

net to make a Windows Phone application. I have a listBox on page1 called listBox1 and in page 2 I have a button called btnAdd. I want to be able to add an item into the listbox1 from page1 whenever btnAdd is pressed in page2. I knew how to do this on VB6 but it seems different on vb.Net.

I have a listbox which on form load generates correctly from a text file like so in a listbox...ex"John Doe, 1""Bob Brown,2"I now would like to search the listbox if it contains either a "1" or a "2" which is does in this case and copy the item to another listbox. The 1 and 2 indicate positions I have a position listbox for each position. So 3 listbos, first one contains the names on form load, 2 other empty listboxes one for position 1 other for position 2...I have tried the following
If xReservationListBox.SelectedIndex = xReservationListBox.FindString("1") Then
'MessageBox.Show("Found It")
xSpot1ListBox.Items.Add(xReservationListBox.Items(0))

I've been seeing a lot of people reference getting HTML elements using the web browser control. And it seems to be something I may want to utilize in a program of mine.
a program which will get the html of an imageboard and check for updates, without loading any content other than the html (thus saving bandwidth). I've checked and this is not against any TOS.
But here's the thing, I don't want to actually navigate to the web page, because that'll load everything anyways. Is there a way I can search for HTML elements (and get their content) without actually "running" the page (for lack of a better word).

I created a method and pass the element type, id, and any inner text that instantiates a new html element. The last statement: Me.Controls.Add(element) adds it to the end of the page, but I would like it to be inserted in a specific position (between 2 divs within a form). What I am describing is very similar to this post on SO here, although it was for javascript.

Because 70 has a number which is 4 it will no longer be tested so we will test the second number which is 5)Because 6 is not less than 5 it will test the next number which is 25. 6 is less than 25 so it will move the number to the second listbox.)If you still dont get it iam willing to give you more idea and information.

I'd like to modify that to be able to put part of the name and it find it. example: Search for Banana Apple pie what it finds is 1743 = Banana Apple Pie Also I'd like when clicked the item from the listbox is displayed in a text box. If I use textbox.text = moblist.items(i) it only shows it when I search and not when I click. I've tried textbox.text = moblist.selecteditem but it does nothing?
