Let's say I have an RTB with the following text:
blah blha
nanna
nahei8
crap
more crap
I place the caret right next to "nanna", and using some code, I insert "NewData", so now the RTB is:
blah blha
nannaNewData
nahei8
crap
more crap
How can I place the caret next to NewData?

I have a issue with my DataGridView. It's bound to a DataTable at form load. I have a sub wich handles data recieved from a serialport. Inside that sub I'm adding a row to my datatable. That works fine, but to make the row visible in my datagridview, I have to either click on the row, resize the form so that the DGV dissapears and then appears again, manually call DataGridView.refresh or something like that. Why isn't the DataGridView automatically redrawn when a row is added inside a sub like that? One solution is to add a timer where DataGridView.refresh is executed every second, but it doesn't seem like a good idea

nserting values from a datagridview into an access db. However the values are wrong. As you can see in the code, I've made variables to check what values are fetched from the datagridview, and those values are correct. But in the db there are other values. What's going on?The thing is some of the fields are run-time-created comboboxes and there are also datagridviewcheckboxes. But like I said, the values in the t1...t7 variables are correct.

View 2 RepliesMy application appends incoming report data onto a RichTextbox control. As more text arrives from an external device, the thumb initially fills the trough and as times goes on, the thumb diminishes in size. This is expected behavior.A modal dialog box allows the user to cancel the file download but since it's modal, the user can't scroll down to see what the last text that was appended.Is there a property/event/method that will show the most recent/last text in the RichTextBox control, rather than the initial text as I have it displayed now? The user would be able to see the text drawn real time without having to use the thumb to accomplish

View 3 RepliesI'm creating a new windows form application based on an existing AS400 application (don't ask).Now the users are used to have a fat, white, blinking caret all over the place, so the first thing they mentioned when they saw my initial release was "where did the cursor go?" "We don't know which field we're filling in"
I tried to explain that there is in fact a cursor inside the textboxes (and that it is called a caret), but they want their big, fat cursor back.After some searching on the internet, combining snippets, I managed to make the caret look like I want (in fact you can use any bitmap image as a caret as long as you invert the colours).Now this seems to work like a charm for textboxes but they want the same caret when they edit a cell of a datagridview (who could have guessed)

I have console application embedded in a Panel on my Form. The problem is that the Vertical scrollbar of this application always stays at the top, and I would prefer that I was always able to see the caret (prompt) so I can see the latest info.
How do you force a Window to display the caret?
Do solutions give the option of the caret being at the top of the window or the bottom? I would prefer that the carat is at the bottom so I can see all the info immediately prior to the caret, as in this screenshot.
In a .NET 3.5 application, i want to get caret position in a RichTextBox control. The RTB is not XAML. Also, the RTB doesn't have CaretPosition property as described here: [URL] What is the simplest way using which i can get the caret position?
EDIT:To be more specific i want to find out what is the position of the caret from the start of the line on which it is positioned. I can get the line number by using GetLineFromCharIndex(rtb.SelectionStart) but not the offset from the start of the line.
I've searched the web for an answer, but i was not able to find a way to hide the caret of a RichTextBox in VB.NET.I've tried to set the RichTextBox.Enabled property to False and then change the background color and foreground color to non-grey ones but that did not do the trick.
View 6 RepliesThis may sound a daft question but how can you remove the caret from a textbox after the text has been entered without having to use the mouse to click outside the box.The reason for this is I have a textbox which when the user clicks the mouse on it a virtual keyboard allows them to enter text which is then displayed in the textbox. If the user got it wrong and wanted to reload the virtual keyboard they have to move the mouse outside the box, click and then re-enter again.

I am using a virtual keyboard I have created to write text to a textbox. Before I start typing the caret is showing the current typing position and will continue to do so if I use the physical keyboard.

there is any way to change the caret? (no the Cursor icon but the vertical little bar at the typing position)
the caret is really very tiny and I like to have option to change it to an yellow block, an red blinking underline or so.
How would I go about changing the actual shape of the RichTextBox caret?
I have tried using the CreateCaret and ShowCaret API calls, but they only seem to work with normal text boxes. Is there any way to modify them so they work with RichTextBoxes?
