With the (0, 50) being the numbers.I will have a form set up like this, A button labeled Generate. 3 Text boxes total, 2 of them side by side with one being low and one high. For example The user will input 5 in the low box at 100 in the high box. Hitting generate the numbers will then be inserted into code and the result being shown in the 3rd text box.

I know there are work-arounds like using a Select Case, but in my situation, it would make things a lot easier... especially since I won't know exactly what will be entered. I can't force the user to use a combobox or anything like that either, because it is going to be unique code for every situation. If there is no way of doing this, I will figure something else out, but it will require a lot more work.

How to generate code from user input. In Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic. My script always begins with:
Code:
function Init(Quest)
Then from here a user would input a quest name, type and zone in a interface using windows forms.
Ex:
Code:
RegisterQuest(Quest, "Kill Zombies", "Heritage", "Firestorm")
end
This part a user would enter in his interface what would an NPC say if accepted.
[Code] .....
What I need is a few text boxs that a user can input "Kill Zombies" or whatever they like and when they push a generate button it will create a file with a .quest extension. All of the code remains the same except for the quotes that would be the user input from the interface. Basically everything in quotes can be changed by the user in an interface. I have created my own functions for when a user accepts, deny and complete a quest. The user just needs to input what should happen then click a generate button to throw it all together as a .quest file to be saved in his or her quest folder for the server to call on later.
I also have many other functions like:
AddQuestRewardFaction --- (Quest, Faction ID, Amount)
AddQuestRewardCoin --- (Quest, Copper, Silver, Gold, Plat)
AddQuestStepObtainItem --- (Quest, Step ID, Description, Quantity, Percentage, TaskGroupText, Item ID(s))
Etc
I would also like to have these available on the UI but wont generate unless a user checks a box to add them or there is a box already for them but wont step into the code unless the user enters something into the box.

If my Category and Forum selection is incorrect I am sorry and feel free to move it. I'd like to have the users input in the message box that will show. For example: There is a textbox and the user puts in their name as Bob. Then the message box would be: What my main goal is, is being able to include the users input they type inside the textbox inside the message box.

Alright. I have a project I need to complete by 11:00 am today. I need a program that will allow a user to input a phrase into a text box. Another text box to input a letter. Then I need the program to count how many times, the letter appears in the phrase. I have everything set up. I know how to count how many characters are in the string, but not how many designated letters there is.

I am using a text box to display a list of items in which I want to be for reading only. Is there any way that I can not allow user input into this text box? Right now I have the text changed set to show an error message, that works but the text entered before the message box appears, still shows.

What code would you use to email one text box's user input like a name. I have tried so hard for this but after 3 hours of stress I finally have decided to come here. This project is causing a lot of stress and I can't believe that these simple things are getting me

I have lines in my text file like this:
x y
x Y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
Lets say I have 20 lines like this. I want to change this lines according to user input. So user will input how many lines they want to change in terms of row and column. In my program
Row=TextBox5.Text column=TextBox6.text
User must enter initial value for x and y. Let say the initial value is
x=1 y=1.
Row=2 column=5..
Now my lines should look like this.
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 1
5 1
1 2
2 2
3 2
4 2
5 2
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
Since I enter row=2 only two set of lines is change other lines remain unchange. But in my coding all the lines is changing like this:
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 1
5 1
1 2
2 2
3 2
4 2
5 2
1 3
2 3
3 3
4 3
5 3
1 4
2 4
3 4
4 4
5 5
which is wrong.
This is my code
Dim lines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:\wirematches.txt")
Dim xValue As Decimal = Val(TextBox1.Text)
Dim yValue As Decimal = Val(TextBox2.Text)
Dim altValue As Decimal = 2.54
Dim lineTracker As Integer = 0
[Code] .....
This code working fine for changes the column. But i dont know where i should write the code for row.

I'm familiar with Visual C# and the try/catch for that but I cannot seem to figure out how to do the same thing in VB. Basically I can't figure out how to get the try/catch to work with text boxes and input from the user and whatnot.I've tried setting the textbox.text property = "" but that has no use, I've been trying to find something on Google about it but I cannot seem to find a single thing about textbox try/catch statements. Is it possible to do it with text boxes?

Is there a simple way to save user input from MANY controls (textboxes, comboboxes, etc...) to a text file? When I say 'MANY', I am referring to at least 580 textboxes and several dozen comboboxes.
I may be able to accomplish this using the StreamWriter Class, but doing this individually would take quite a long time. I suppose I could also change all text boxes to richTextBoxes and save to .rtf. It seems like this would be even more time consuming.
Surely there is a simpler way to do this 'globally', perhaps with an added single line of code that points (and saves) to a preset or created text.txt file whenever text is added or changed in a textbox or combobox throughout the program.

I have a text box labled QTY, which feeds the QTY column on a datatable. the table then is ran through a function that takes the data and converts it to a string which my production machine can read. My problem is this, and its probably really simple (these problems usually are) how to i force the user to use a specific type of input on the txtbox so they would have to put the QTY in the format of 01 02 03 etc etc, i have it set to default to 00 but i want to force the user to haver to input 2 chars.

I am trying to create a function to remove dirty words from user input text and want to replace those dirty words with four ****. In my scenario , i have list of dirty words where i would iterate the input user text and want to replace. Say for example.,
Dim InputTxt As String = "hi bush how are you.... $hit and @ss"
Dim OutPut As String = " hi **** how are you... **** and ****";
Problem: It works fine to replace some word like " bush" however fails in the below function doesn't replace "$hit" and "@ss".
Note: I do not want to use string.Replace because it doesn't have word boundary in the sentence..
Public Function pReplaceWords(ByVal dirtyWord As String, ByVal inputText As String, ByVal options As RegexOptions) As String

The problem is I am able to extract the data by giving cell reference like: TextBox1.Text = objWorksheet.Cells(5, 2).value
But I want to select a row as per input given by user and want to extract data from that row.
The input given by user is in text format, in my case name of employee. And I have to extract address of that name.

My app has text boxes to accept input from user to questions shown on labels. When the user input is valid, a literal is added to a string incorporating the user input. If the user doesn't input anything or if user inputs "no" or "None" I want the literal and the user input to not add to my string. Make any sense? See my code below:

I have an assignment that is supposed to accept user input of random numbers. The only part I'm struggling with is I'm supposed to make copies of the array after the user is done inputting the numbers. These copies has to be sized exactly to how many numbers the user input. Am I supposed to use a counting variable and if so how?

How would you let the user of a program enter an unlimted amount of numbers ranging from 0-100, and then have the program tell the user the highest and lowest values from the data they entered?The user would enter the data in when they clicked a button, and the program would sort the data out when another button was clicked.

I am writing an app that uses a combo box to list file types for a user to select from. Because a complete list of all options is both impossible and wildly unwieldy, I am only providing about 10 common extensions. I want the user to be able to type in their own file extension if the one they need is not listed. the first item in the combo box is empty by default, but during testing when i type something in their to use as my selection, i get the exception "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." pointed at extensionComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString

ive been steaming on this one for quite some time. Ive got a program that relies on remote control of the computer, and i need to be able to take a webcam image without the user having to press buttons etc. So far, ive gotten to the point where i can find my webcam, and with the help of a button, start a preview, then take the picture and save it as a jpeg.Problem is, when you press the button to start the preview, another dialog box shows up (not related to my code) prompting me to select a video source..Im confused kus it seems as though the list i find on form_load does nothing at all if when i press the button it prompts me with the same list.Well you can infer from this that i cannot use the btnstart_click(sender, e) on form_load because it opens a dialog that wont close until i press ok, and i already tried to sendkeys enter, it didnt work.anyone have any idea how i can either alter my code, or make new code to take a web cam image, and save it with no user input?

I'm a complete beginner to programming alone, let alone VB.net. What I need to do is encrypt a block of text inputted by a user using a keyword that will also be inputted by the user. This is all to be done using ciphertext, so naturally the user would be informed the keyword can not have any repeating characters. I figure the English alphabet will be predefined in capitals and lowercase, then the keyword will be read character by character, removing those characters from the alphabet array and then appending them to the end of it (to create the new encrypted alphabet). How to read the keyword character by character, and then removing the corresponding letter from the alphabet. The best I can think is to check each character of the keyword against each character of the array which I'm sure is much more work than I need to do.

I have a form with multiple panels which hide/show as the user progresses through and inputs data. After they enter data in the first panel, I want a label in the next panel to be equal to one of their inputs. For example, in the first panel they enter their name in Textbox1. They hit next and it hides panel1 and shows panel2. Then I want Label1 in the next panel to be Textbox1 (their name).
