How do you reset a RichTextBox? I wrote some code that changes the
RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.White and
RichTextBox1.SelectionBackColor = Color.Red.
I'd like to change all the text in the RichTextBox back to Black and no back color.
I am doing the following to change the color of a word in a RichTextbox, but it sorta has a bug in it, which I'm not sure what to do with it.
vb.net Private Sub ScriptEditor_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles ScriptEditor.KeyUp
[Code]...
I searched this topic and set RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Red after click button1, and set RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.DarkBlue for button 2 click event. But after I clicked either button, the text color was always black as forecolor set.

View 1 RepliesI am using API calls to transform a Bitmap object. I have various physical transformations (rotation, flipping, scaling, displacement) as well as some colour adjustments (inversion, brightness and contrast)Everything works fine except for when I use the rotation or shear transformations in combination with the colour adjustment. In that case the colours revert to the original image.The interesting thing about this problem is that it seems to be dependent on the off-diagonal factors (eM12 and eM21 below) in the XForm matrix. For example, here is the rotation matrix:
Public Sub RotateClockwise(Radians As Single)
With XFormMatrix
.eM11 = Cos(Radians)[code]....
is there some way I can use both SetWorldTransform and SetColorAdjustment when using non-zero values for the off-diagonal factors in my XForm transformation?
How can I programmatically reset my form background from a picture to a solid color. I have no trouble changing it to a picture or even changing it to another picture, but when I try to change it back to a solid color, it won't work.
me.backcolor=color.red 'OK
me.backgroundimage=my.resources.dog 'OK
me.backgroundimage=(none) 'error
me.backgroundimage=my.resources.none 'error
How do I reset it back to a color? It's stuck in a picture mode.

I'm using a richtextbox and I format the text (color) during keypress.. (like visual basic language: text in black, "dim" in blue, "comments" in green...) I use selection properies to do this, ok, work fine, but I see the selection and unselection.. Ok, is very fast, but it's annoying.. there is a way to format the text and hide the selection?
View 2 RepliesWhen setting the selection of a RichTextBox, the selected text is highlighted even though I set the HideSelection property to True. Once the RTB loses focus then the selected text is no longer highlighted. Programatically setting the focus to another control doesn't hide the selection, only physically clicking another control will hide it. So is there a way I can make the RTB not show the selection right from the start?
View 2 RepliesHow do you code selection of text within a RichTextBox. I tried the following code and nothing happens.I would think this should select all text within the RichTextBox.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.RichTextBox1.SelectAll()
End Sub
I would think this would select text from a start point to an end point.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
ss = Convert.ToInt16(TextBox1.Text)
se = Convert.ToInt16(TextBox1.Text)
Me.RichTextBox1.Select(ss, se)
End Sub
I have a RichTextBox. I process all the formatting and everything works fine. There is an exception. When I have selected text that have two states of formatting in it, the SelectionFont member is set to Nothing. I notice that WordPad recognizes this condition
and kindof greys out the affected format.
Let's take this example:
This text is in Bold.
The rest of the comments here and not in bold.
When I select these two lines, the SelectionFont gets set to Nothing. WordPad sets the Bold button grey, but still clickable. If I click the Bold button in this state, the entire selection is set to bold. How do I achieve this same functionality?
I'm developing a windows application with a form having three listviews. I've noticed that when I make selections on a listview and then click away, such as onto another listview, the original color of the selection changes.
View 1 Repliesi want user when clicks a button to show a selection around a richtextbox and not inside it selecting the text... what i have right now is this: richtextbox1.focus() that will indeed focus the richtextbox but the problem is, it only selects its text content.
What i want is something similar to a Yellow or Blue Square showing around the richtextbox i want to "select", so the user will properly notice the richtextbox more easelly.
i tried messing with the vb express rectangle stuff but i cant get it to draw over all objects, its actually always displaying below all objects in the forum
EDIT: ive also tried using a tiff picturebox with a drawed empty rectangle on it, but the dreadish thing when put over other objects like textboxes, it simply just displays the color of the form emitting any other objects in between, setting the background color to transparent under web colors had the same problem...
How do I apply 2 font styles to the text selected in a richtextbox? Used this method to change fontstyle:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold)
But with this method I can only apply 1 font-style (for example bold OR italic OR underlined, etc.) right? But I want to apply for example 2 front-styles, or just add the font style ( so I can add several front-styles to the selected text, for example the text is bold, and then ALSO make it underlined (with this method I can only change the font-style, only one font-style)), how do I do this?
Just do so:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic)

View 4 RepliesI've got 2 radio buttons on a form and am trying to allow a user to change the color of the form based on which radio button is selected. I've used select case in a separate procedure to do this because ultimately I'd like to have about 1/2 dozen or so color options to choose from.
The color changes when the first radio button is selected (pink or green, doesn't matter), but when I try and select a 2nd option, the program crashes (VB 2010 Beta).
My code so far is:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub SetColourScheme(ByVal colour As String)
Select Case colour

I am trying to convert a value from a radio list box that is populated by an access database. The database loads fine, I have no trouble with that. My issue is that I am trying to take the value of the radio button chosen and turn it into a font color. Therein lies my problem. I see that it cannot be a string, but when I turn it into an object, I get an error.

Trying to change the color of more than one of the same text within a RichTextBox. [Code] The above code searches for, and changes the color of all "Boat"s found in the RichTextBox. There are a few problems, such as: If you were to go back to edit the RichTextBox and place your cursor in front of the, now blue word, "Boat" and type then all of your text would be blue. Also, the text you wish to change the color of in the RichTextBox MUST be Exactly the same as: "Search1", aka "Boat", capital letters and all.

For Each _str In RichTextBox1.Text
Dim my1stPosition As Integer = RichTextBox1.Find(red)
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = my1stPosition
But I dislike the highlighting-type approach.
