When setting the selection of a RichTextBox, the selected text is highlighted even though I set the HideSelection property to True. Once the RTB loses focus then the selected text is no longer highlighted. Programatically setting the focus to another control doesn't hide the selection, only physically clicking another control will hide it. So is there a way I can make the RTB not show the selection right from the start?
View 2 Repliesi want user when clicks a button to show a selection around a richtextbox and not inside it selecting the text... what i have right now is this: richtextbox1.focus() that will indeed focus the richtextbox but the problem is, it only selects its text content.
What i want is something similar to a Yellow or Blue Square showing around the richtextbox i want to "select", so the user will properly notice the richtextbox more easelly.
i tried messing with the vb express rectangle stuff but i cant get it to draw over all objects, its actually always displaying below all objects in the forum
EDIT: ive also tried using a tiff picturebox with a drawed empty rectangle on it, but the dreadish thing when put over other objects like textboxes, it simply just displays the color of the form emitting any other objects in between, setting the background color to transparent under web colors had the same problem...
I want to end the selection in a rich text box.Example:

I'm using a richtextbox and I format the text (color) during keypress.. (like visual basic language: text in black, "dim" in blue, "comments" in green...) I use selection properies to do this, ok, work fine, but I see the selection and unselection.. Ok, is very fast, but it's annoying.. there is a way to format the text and hide the selection?
View 2 RepliesHow do you code selection of text within a RichTextBox. I tried the following code and nothing happens.I would think this should select all text within the RichTextBox.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.RichTextBox1.SelectAll()
End Sub
I would think this would select text from a start point to an end point.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
ss = Convert.ToInt16(TextBox1.Text)
se = Convert.ToInt16(TextBox1.Text)
Me.RichTextBox1.Select(ss, se)
End Sub
I have a RichTextBox. I process all the formatting and everything works fine. There is an exception. When I have selected text that have two states of formatting in it, the SelectionFont member is set to Nothing. I notice that WordPad recognizes this condition
and kindof greys out the affected format.
Let's take this example:
This text is in Bold.
The rest of the comments here and not in bold.
When I select these two lines, the SelectionFont gets set to Nothing. WordPad sets the Bold button grey, but still clickable. If I click the Bold button in this state, the entire selection is set to bold. How do I achieve this same functionality?
How do I apply 2 font styles to the text selected in a richtextbox? Used this method to change fontstyle:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold)
But with this method I can only apply 1 font-style (for example bold OR italic OR underlined, etc.) right? But I want to apply for example 2 front-styles, or just add the font style ( so I can add several front-styles to the selected text, for example the text is bold, and then ALSO make it underlined (with this method I can only change the font-style, only one font-style)), how do I do this?
Just do so:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic)
How do you reset a RichTextBox? I wrote some code that changes the
RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.White and
RichTextBox1.SelectionBackColor = Color.Red.
I'd like to change all the text in the RichTextBox back to Black and no back color.
When I select text with a mouse in dense text like an XML file the selection automatically extends to what it thinks is a white space (or?). How do I turn off this "word selection" and just select the characters the cursor passes over?VS2010 Beta, VB.Net

I'm trying to set my software up so that you could invert the selection if needed.

I already figured out how to Select all and Select none and it seems to know that when I want to invert the selection if there is no checkmark in the checkbox that it should check it but if I hit it again or if was selected previously it won't uncheck it..

Basically I have a list box with a collection of strings. The way it works is you select an item from the list box then enter an integer into a text box and it calculates, straight forward.Where I'm getting tripped up is I'm trying to implement a 'Reset' button to reset the list box and text box. The text box is straight forward as is clearing the selection in the listbox:[code]I understand that since there is nothing selected the index is getting tripped up or whatever but I don't know how to stop this. I'm new to VB and programming in general and have been googling for days trying to get this fixed to no avail.

The total of purchases and their rewards points depend on the membership level. Example, if you are a basic customer and your total purchase is under $75, you receive 5% in rewards points (70 x 0.95). Additionally, if the total is between $75 and $149.99, you receive 7.5% rewards.Here is what I have so far, but I am getting errors on the ElseIf statements:

View 1 RepliesI have a form with a listview on it. Listviews are very versatile beasts with all kinds of odd options to them, so I'm not sure if this is working the only way that it can, or not. The issue is that when I select one of the items in the listview, only one column (of two) is highlighted. I'd prefer a selection appearance similar to using a DataGridView where the whole row is highlighted. Of course, one option would be just to switch to a DGV, but that would require a bit more code to get the column widths right. So my question is whether there is some setting to get what looks like full row selection appearance in a multiselect ListView?

I am new to the forum and to VB, and not great at coding in general.I am learning, and this site as well as others have helped me get farther than I ever imagined. Second, my project is purely for my benefit, so I can learn.There is no corporate or school related goal here, just trying to learn.So the title is a summary of what I want to do. I have a form with a combo box that has five different choices, and below it, a checked list box. What I want is the collection inside the checked list box to change depending on what I select in the combo box above it.For instance, I have room 1 - 5 in the combo box, and the the checked list box below it, I have the furniture associated with that room.The eventual goal is to have this form populate a database, that allows the checked furniture to be recorded in a record.
I assume I need to use a db, such as access, to list the "furniture" in each room, and have a different table for each room, where the combo box selection will populate the checkedlistbox from the appropriate tables contents.I need a step by step on this, because I am a bit of a brick. Most tutorials are also done in VB 6 or VB 2008, and there have been steps missing in association to VB 2010.
At design-time, when one clicks a control it is selected and this state is depicted with a frame drawn around the control. I would like to know how can I mimic the same effect at runtime; that is, how can I draw a similar frame around a control when the user clicks over it?
