I've been looking for an option where I could select the position of the tabs but didn't find nothing for it. as I create a new tab it goes on my tab list as the last tab, how to set the position of it?

I understand that within a rich field text box you can search for a string and then format that string, but I am looking to change the formating of a certain position in a string regardless of what character is at that position.Can this be done in VB 2008?

I have few functions assigned in TextBox1_TextChanged event. The problem i am facing is this event is fired twice, once after the Fill command and another after the Position command whereas i want the event to fire only once after the Position command. What should i do?
Here is what I am trying to do: I've added a .SelectAll() method in the MouseDown event of a textbox and it works well.
Now when the user double clicks, I'd like to unselect the text and set the position where the cursor is.
I don't know if I'am making myself clear here so here is an example:
Let's say this is the following text in the textbox: "this is just a test, please do not panic."
User clicks in the textbox, all the text becomes selected.
Let's assume the position of the curosr is just before the "j"
The user double click so the text becomes unselected and the cursor position automatically changes to the j.
I know I have to use the .Select(start, length) method with 0 as length value, but how do I find the start value depending of the mouse position ?
I was wondering if there was a solution to replacing the tab control's tabs with custom tabs made in Photoshop. I know there are plenty of super expensive programs that can do it, but I was wondering if there was a way to do it programmatically. I was thinking that maybe it could linked in some way with a .DLL?
View 1 RepliesMy code is basically a file parser/editor and it handles most files fine as they hold a handful of records concerning family members. However there are a few files that crash when trying to deal with them. Here is the problem.Each family member record creates 3 tabs that hold an average of 3 group boxes each. Each group box holds an average of 3 text boxes.So each member record creates 3x3x3 = 27 text boxes and some files get up to 289 family members which = 7803 text boxes.
The problem is the rare file with 400+ member records = 10,800 text boxes which causes a crash due to using up all the window handles. Each member has a separate tab page (with 3 subpages) but really only a dozen or so member pages are visible in the GUI with scroll arrows to move through them so I was thinking of somehow making the GUI a scrollable window so the tabs get built, displayed and disposed as the user scrolls left and right through the member tabs.
The files are parsed into a 3d list DataList(x,y,z) where x is the page number, y is the group box number and z is the text box number. So all the data is available. The code then traverses MyList and builds GuiList(x,y) where x is the page number and y is the groupbox number with all the textbox.text linked to MyList(x,y,z) locations so all text changes are reflected in the MyList.
I already have a memberCount variable and I am thinking of building, say, the first 30 member tabs with the middle 10 being visible in the GUI. If the selected tab > 20, then dispose of the first 10 tabs and create tabs 30-40.I am thinking I will keep all the member tab pages so I don't have to deal with inserts and indexing problems but just dispose all the group boxes and text boxes for tab pages out of view. I already have a deep clone sub that clones members when the user wants to add a new family member and I am thinking I will have to add something similar when a tabpage is passed in for disposal, it traverses and disposes each text box, then disposes the group box for each group box on the tab page.Additionally, another routine will rebuild the group boxes from the data held in MyList(x,y,z) when a tabpage(x) is passed in.
Is it possible to select an item in one listbox and then display the data of another listbox with the same indexed position? I am planning a project and this is something I would like to attempt but I haven't figured out how to do it.[code..]
I tried doing the above code but instead of displaying the listbox text the message box just returned false.
I'm making a tabbed browser and I want to get favicons in the tabs. I have a picturebox by the address bar that shows it just fine, but I want it in the tabs also. The tabs are owner drawn. Can I use the image key to display the favicon? If so, how? I've tried drawing the image in, but it draws it to every tab instead of just the one. Is there any way around this?

View 6 RepliesI have created a web browser and am trying to get the link that is clicked that would normally open in a new window to open in the current window as I do not want to open any other windows or tabs.

First off I hope this is in the correct I am creating a calculator software in Visual Basic 2008 Express edition. I don't know if it is .NET or not, I assume it is? I downloaded this version: [URL]...Now, I will have tabs at the top. The tabcontrol is named "Tabs". On each tab I will have a different category of mathematical functions. Now, I need the backspace, clear, clear entry, equals, and all the numbers 0-9 to appear on every single tab. Is there a way of doing this without creating a new button named "Backspace2", "Backspace3" for tabs 2 & 3 for example?

Using tabs for my web browser, I noticed (since im using documenttitle to populate the tab text) if a site has a long title, it will extend my tab var far, how can i limit this to a certain amount of text?

How can I change the color of the tabs of a tabcontrol? I tried to search the forum but everytime I hit the search button I get an "Bad Gateway" error.
View 2 RepliesUsing vb.net 2008 Forms. I have a groupbox consisting of several textbox's and a push button. I put this groupbox in a control collection in order to validate each texbox when the push button is clicked.
The code to do this is as follows:
Private Sub bn_updateadditem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bn_updateadditem.Click
Dim InvalidInput As Boolean = False
Controls.AddRange(New System.Windows.Forms.Control() {Me.GroupBox1})

This worked great. However when I moved this groupbox with all its controls onto a tab, the groupbox contents disappeared from the form after the control collection is created and contents validated (per above code).
I am working on a TAFE assignment right now - the project itself is done, so what I am asking is actually not part of the graded component, it is for my own benifit and learning.The issue is I have a ListBox which needs to output for varibles on each line - that part is working nicely, what I want to know is there a way to set the tabs or spacing so no matter how long the varible it - the next coloum is alway neatly aligned with it?
View 3 RepliesI start my program with a splashscreen and as soon as the mainform is loaded, databases are loaded and data is crunched it shows the form with everything on it. All very nice. But now comes the trick. The form has a strip of 5 tabs on it. The active tab is shown and directly accesible but as soon as i click on the other tabs it needs time to draw everything and calculate its content. And when i have clicked through all of them everything is finally up to speed. How can i speed things up in such away that all this predrawing etc is done in the background just as i got it to work with my mainwindow and its first tab?
I have this in the load sub:
For i = 0 To TabControl1.TabCount - 1
TabControl1.TabPages.Item(i).Invalidate()
Next
But some how this does not do the trick.
I noticed that when using a single letter as the title on a tab of a Tab Control , the tab is bigger that it should . Look on this example :
The above Tab Control behaves normally because the text on each tab is sufficient to keep it big enough . The lower Tab Control , however , has its tabs too big . Is it possible to reduce its width ? I saw there is an ItemSize property of the Tab Controls , but unfortunately I can only modify the height of the tabs . No matter what value I set for its width , the width remains always the same (and larger than it should) ...

I have a TabControl on a UserControl. I want the UserControl to behave like a TabControl as usual (it contains only the TabControl and a Contextmenu), including Design-time behavior.I have spent the last two weeks finding out how to add the Design-time behavior and I think I have come a far way.The problem is with adding TabPages during Design-time (while the UserControl is a custom tabcontrol, it is using regular windows forms TabPages).In the Designer class, I have the following code to add a TabPage:
vb.net
Dim dh As IDesignerHost = DirectCast(GetService(GetType(IDesignerHost)), IDesignerHost) If dh IsNot Nothing Then Dim i As Integer = tc.SelectedIndex Dim name As String = GetNewTabName() Dim tab As TabPage = TryCast(dh.CreateComponent(GetType(TabPage), name), TabPage) tab.Text = name tc.Controls.Add(tab)
[code]....
So it would add the control to the TabPages collection if it was a TabPage, and use the regular routine otherwise.
(I'm now using 'tc.Controls.Add(tab)' again instead of 'tc.tabCtrl.TabPages.Add')
But, I don't think the designer even gets that far because it is telling me I cannot add TabPages to my usercontrol, because only TabControls can accept TabPages... How can I make my usercontrol understand that it is a TabControl (without Inheriting from a TabControl?)
I'm trying to create an owner drawn TabControl that looks like the tabs in Visual Studio on XP (might look different in Vista, not so sure).So far, I've got the background and the blueish border, and now I've run into some trouble drawing the 'tab headers' (where the text is displayed).Here's what I got so far:
vb.net
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
Public Class cTabControl
#Region " Colors "
[code]....
Why isn't this working? How do I draw a border like this around a 'normal' OwnerDrawn tabcontrol, without the funky SetStyle method..?also, the DoubleBuffer ControlStyle (in the SetStyles method) option is not listed in the Intellisense list, but it is accepted when I finish typing it... Is that a bug?
