VS 2008 Selecting Text In ToolStripTextBox?
Nov 2, 2009
I am placing 2 of these on my form and want to do the following:
1. When the control is not Focused and the user clicks inside the control, I want to highlight all text within the control. I expect to use SelectAll() to accomplish this.
2. When the control IS Focused and the user clicks inside the control, I want standard actions to occur; i.e., the user can click-and-drag to highlight, double-click to highlight,
3. When the user leaves the control (clicks on something elsle), if the control is empty, I want to populate it with pre-defined text. If it's not empty, leave text as-is.
I'm having problems, though, with figuring out #1 and #3. I have tried Enter/Leave, GotFocus/LostFocus to no avail. With Enter/Leave, the text will highlight the first time a user enters the control, but I can't seem to get the program to think the user has "left" the control. That is, the "Enter" code will not fire again.
I also thought about using the Click event, but I don't want the SelectAll() code to fire for EVERY click in the TextBox controls.

I have a toolstriptextbox and a custom context menu strip with a "Cut" menu item. When you select text in the textbox, display the context menu and select the menu item, the cut method of the textbox is being executed, the text is pushed to the clipboard, but the text is not being removed from the textbox. The code is as simple as follows.
Sub menuItemCut_Click (byval sender as object, e as eventargs) handles menuItemCut.Click
textbox.Cut()
End Sub
I have verified the event is fired, and the selected text in textbox gets sent to the clipboard. For some reason the selected text is not removed from the textbox. Has anyone ran into this issue before when working with a toolstriptextbox?

I have in a menu a ToolStripTextBox where the user can enter a CASE NUMBER to FIND. And I have a ToolStripMenuItem below that says QUICK FIND - clicking this will find the case you put in the textbox. Tabbing out of the textbox puts you at this TOOLSTRIPMENUITEM so that ENTER on the keyboard will trigger the FIND. I want to make it so that pressing ENTER while still in the textbox will trigger that same TOOLSTRIPMENUITEM action. Do I have to trap keypresses or is there a more natural way to accomplish this?

I have a ToolStripTextBox on a ContextMenu that opens upon right-clicking a NotifyIcon in the systray that I'm using to 'filter' what is shown in the menu. My trouble is that as soon as the text box loses focus, the menu closes. Is there a way to force the menu to stay open?
I tried changing "AutoClose" to false, but then my menu wouldn't open at all when the NotifyIcon was clicked.

I have the following document[code]...
Now, how can I get the ID of the Div, by selecting text in his Field?
For example, if the user selects the text "Div1 - Text" (or part of him), the result should be "ID1".
if the user selects the text "Div2 - Text" (or part of him), the result should be "ID2", and so on.

I have two RichTextBoxes in my vb.net application (rtf1 & rtf2). rtf1 is loaded with the external data. Mostly It contains para split into different sections. The paragraph is a dynamic data, hence the no. of words keep on changing. Now my question is that, I want to select a para from the cluster, copy it and paste it into rtf2.
Manually I did as, Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
[Code]....
Here only i could find the starting position and length. without knowing the ending postion, i couldnot specify the number of characters. how to select "para content goes here is a multiline" only from the [para content goes here is a multiline]?
Actually the contents of Rtf1 is in the .txt format. But I knew only
My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("xyx.txt")
so, if i can select the para in the .txt file before reading it into rtf1, it will be more useful.

I am developing a search tool for my company. I got the searching to work and the results to append to a text box. I need to be able to click on the line in the text box and then open adobe or do etc. I can't figure out how to make the text box "selectable" I guess you could call it. Is there another way to do this or am I just missing a property?

TextBox1.SelectAll()
End Sub

I have encountered a small issue with coding a portion of my Visual Basic program. In my program, I have a variable that contains text data. I would like to be able to select certain text in the variable and place it into a textbox.
For example, my variable is called strCallInfo.
strCallInfo contains the following value:
Address: 123 Law Rd
Location Info: Carbon Police Department
[Code].....
Note that the values in the textboxes are equal to values in the string variable. The only problem I am encountering is how to sort the string and place certain values into specific text boxes.

I'm using VB (visual studio) 2008. I'm trying to search a microsoft word file and select/copy text from it What i want to do
a. Search for a string/word in a text document(i.e "question)
b. When its found copy of text from that point to a point further down the document defined by a certain string ("a.")
c. after this is done it will continue to look for the next time the same string occurs (i.e. "question"") and continue as above?
I've figured out how to search for the word (question) but not managed to figure out the rest of it. Heres the code so far
Dim oWord As Word.Application = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Dim wdword As Word.Range
' Create new word document

I have a program with several textboxes - some of the textboxes contain predetermined text that needs to be appended to later by the user.For example:Textbox1 contain the start of a case number as this is the same for every case number (EG: CA0000).When a user is pressing tab to cycle through the text boxes and gets to textbox1 it highlights CA0000 and the user can accidentally erase that when he types if not paying attention.Is there a way so that when the focus turns to Textbox1 it automatically sets the cursor at the end of any text in that box?

I have a form with a richtextbox and a scrollbar. I want to be able to keep appending text to the textbox without loosing my selection. I can save the selectionstart and selectionlength before I append the text and set it back and it works. The problem is when it comes to reverse selecting. The best I could do is set back the selectionstart at the right position but I have to move the mouse so it selects text again. I'm using the following functions before and after I append the text:
Private Sub StopRepaint()
Dim pt As Point
' Stop redrawing:
SendMessage(txtchat.Handle, WM_SETREDRAW, 0, pt)
[code].....
My main goal is to be able to select and copy text even when new text is being appended to the richtextbox. Anyone knows how to correctly select text in reverse OR easily fix my problem about text being deselected?

i have a simple notepad application where i want a feature of selecting text which is underlined. Usually what happens is when i click a button the app reads a text file and underlines random text in the richtextbox. What i want is on the click of another button to select the text which is underlined. I thought of creating char range, regex all but not getting anywhere. I also dunno how to build a regex.
What i know is since all RTF texts are different we can choose the rtf text instead of simple text to select the underlined text. The rtf of underlined text in my application is this uli0 so manyulnonei where ul and ulnone mark the text as underlined. Now i want to select all such texts which are surrounded by uli0 and ulnonei . I thought of the following method :
1) Create another richtextbox2
2) Paste the text of richtextbox1 as rtf in richtextbox2. I mean show the text in coded rtf (like above) instead of normal rtf.
3) Use simple find to select all the text which is surrounded by ul and ulnone tags
4) process the text.
But this step is very tedious. If anyone could help me in making a simple procedure or build a regex which could process the text surrounded by those tags,

I am making a game of tic tac toe, and I have 9 buttons lined up in a grid pattern. I want to select a random button for the computer to start the game from.
I have an array set up with all the names of my buttons, and I was thinking of picking a random entry from that array to start working from. This I have done fine, but I cannot change the text of a button. My code:
''# Define the array
random(0) = "tl"
random(1) = "tc"
random(2) = "tr"
[Code]....
as you can see, I can't simply do StartPoint.Text = "O", even thought StartPoint holds the name for the button.

Basically what I'm trying to do is to get the program to select a text string that has 2 random numbers in it from a RichTextBox. The string it would find would be similar to this:"items_win.php?item_id=24&item_number=590576"But the bolded section changes every time the page is refreshed, so how can i find the string with the numbers every time no matter what they are?

i want to make it so my toolstriptextbox will smoothly size with the form as i resize it. I tried using a timer and just say txtbox1.width = me.size.width - 100 or whatever space for the buttons and handling it for when it reaches negative numbers (with autosize off on the textbox) but its not at all smooth.

I need to select all the comboboxes on a form with a for each loop. I have about 19 comboboxes and I need to select each one. I tried to do
for each box as combobox in me.controls
But that gave me an error and i now tried this:
for each box as control in me.controls
if box.name.contains("ComboBox") then
...
end if
next
That selected only the comboboxes but the problem is i need to access some data that is specific to comboboxes (aka the selected item(s), if its blank) but those properties are not present since "box" is a control, not a combo box.
