i am doing a small app where in one part i need to add certain lines of text ( from one variable ) to a richtexbox
i read a txt file line by line , i check something , if the condition its true then i add that line to a string variable , i need to add that variable contents to the richtexbox , i can't find the equivalent of textbox1.AppendText(textline) for the richtextbox .
Total noobie when it comes to VB, but I'm jumping in. I have about 15 years with Business Basic and see many similar things between VB and BBx so hopefully the learning curve will not be to steep.
Anyway the project I wish to complete is: Use portable computers running Windows CE 5.0 to scan bar coded labels to capture data collected during a physical inventory. The labels have 2 fields - bin location and item. My form will have a textbox for 3 items - bin location, item and quantity. Also, the form will have 2 radio buttons to accept or reject entry. I plan on writing the records to a simple text file to import in to the current application I am running.
I downloaded Microsoft Visual Basic Express 2008 and have done a little prodding around so far. I know the Express version does not support mobile device application development so that needs to be upgraded. My question is, can someone recommend a good book that would cover the areas I need to be concerned with?
Also, any good online resources?
I'm a complete programming nublet.I got nothing.But I'm trying to start learning. I figured the best idea was to figure out some things I'd like to be able to automate, pick some that sound relatively simple, find code that does it, and start picking it apart. I haven't found what I'm looking for on this one, so I figured I'd ask here.
What I am trying to do, is create an exe (so it can be run remotely with admin priveleges) that will read a file, determine if a couple lines exist, and if not, will write them in the correct spot in the file.
Am I being too ambitious on this? Can it be done? Can someone help me with how?
I have a text file that I am reading from which is a list of first and last names. They are in order but they are on different lines of the text file. I am trying to read them into an array and put the first and last names together on separate lines.
[Code]...
I know there's ton of examples on the forum but i could not get it to work the way i want.
Sample CSV :-
Unused,172.22.21.2,SD103001
Unused,172.22.21.3,SD103002
Unused,172.22.21.4,SD103003
And what i wana do is change the Unused to Used so basically once this is done it will look like.
Used,172.22.21.2,SD103001
Unused,172.22.21.3,SD103002
Unused,172.22.21.4,SD103003
One thing to mention is i dont want to loop through the whole file and change all the Unused to Used. So basically software fires up opens the file and looks for Unused and changes it to Used and does the rest of the function and shuts down. Next time the software is fired up it goes through and does the same thing.

I have a richtextbox control. It contains many lines of text (multiline is enabled). My goal is: When user clicks with right-click mouse, I'd like to display all the text of the line where the cursor is. I'm using this method to get the cursor's line:
Dim line As Integer = RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)
But how do I get the text of the line? Should I copy the whole text to a string array , and then just print the relevant line item?
I'm trying to figure out how to change the font in a RichTextBox without having to select the text I want to change first. I know I can select text and change it like this:
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.Find("working")
Dim tfont As New Font("Arial", 16, FontStyle.Regular)
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = tfont
What I want to do is set a font and then any text added to the richtextbox will use that font. Then I want to set another font and all text after that point will use that font and so on. I'm adding text to the RichTextBox with code, but I'd eventually like to add a RichTexBox to an app where the user enters the text and can change fonts like a word processor.What I'm try to accomplish would go something like this:
' Set the font for the header here
rtbPrint.Text = rtbPrint.Text & mHeader & vbCrLf
'Set the font for the body here
rtbPrint.Text = rtbPrint.Text & mBody & vbCrLf
I am using a richtextbox control on my form.I want a small code which can detect if any image has been inserted in the rtb or not.For e.g. user can just type some text or insert image also. Now if we select an image then we can get the type but I want a code which scans contents of rtb and gives me a true if an image is inserted or false if there is none.
View 8 Repliesi am trying to display a line of smiley faces ☻ and change the colour of each face, i cant use a find method as there are 10 of these smilies so i thought about using a loop and selecting only the last one entered and changing its colour. here is a simplified version of my
