I have a program that appends text to a richtextbox.I do it like this :RichTextBox1.AppendText("[" & Now.ToLongTimeString & "] <" & Username & "> : Hello World !" & vbNewLine)
I know the username.Now, I searched google to color the username (the text between '<' & '>').It works, for the first line at least.As soon as I add another line, only the first line stays colored.How would I do that so it colors every line?
i'm working on a project app to help me color code my html snippets. i'm not being able to figure out how to change the color of this line when selecting text :
<font color=blue> synthax helper </font>
to look like this:
<font color=blue> synthax helper </font>
as far as i can get it to change the selection color is this:
<font color=blue> synthax helper </font>
here's what i have in code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Blue
RichTextBox1.SelectedText = "<font color=blue>" & RichTextBox1.SelectedText & "</font>"
End Sub
Is there an easier way to color certain tags like: <html>, <h1>, <body>, etc?I would like to make an html editor and i would like to know if anyone out there has a VB10 Example of a text highlighter When the text changes.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if it was possible to colorize syntax of, say HTML, inside of a RichTextBox by comparing each word in the current line of text against the collection of words in System.Web.RegularExpressions.AspCodeRegex? I'd imagine that from this question it would be possible?
View 3 RepliesI have an issue with Visual Studio's support for coloring User Types in VB.NET, I'm an C# developer that have been forced to code in Vb.NET by political rules in my organization, and I really misses the support for coloring user types in Vb.NET, I had hoped that this would be solved in Visual Studio 2010 and well in the beta they have added Vb.NET User Type coloring, but the coloring is the same for all user types I cant't have one color for interfaces and one for classes and so on.
View 3 RepliesI have this to append a text to a richtextbox
RichTextBox1.AppendText(String.Format("{0,-11}{1,-18}{2,-10}{3}", "[" & Now.ToLongTimeString & "]", "SergeMorel", "∙ Some Text Here", Environment.NewLine))
It's for an irc client. It appends the text users send or receive.How do I color for example, the time in a color & the user in a different color, etc...
I�ve a label which displays a time counter as follows:
Me.label.text = �Hrs: � & myH & � Mins: � & myM & � Secs: � & myS
The line:
Me.label.ForeColor = Color.Red
Changes the color of the entire text to red.
I�d like the letters H, M and S to be of different colors. I know I could set up three different labels and color them but I was wondering if exists a trick which allows me to change colors with the same label.

View 4 RepliesI have a bundle of tiny pictureboxes on a form. The number is specified by the user, but it could be up to 100, or so. The user can select any set of these pictureboxes by a variety of means. I want to change the image to show the selection state of the pictureboxes, and I'm looking for the best way to do that. The pictureboxes each shows a bitmap. The brute force method would be to have a selected image and an unselected image and just swap them, but it seems like there ought to be a way to do something significant and reversible to the image, such as inverting the colors, that might be smaller that having a second copy of each image.

This is my second post and today I have the following problem:I want to make a Steam Gamertag Maker ..
1) I have a RichTextBox.
2) I have 8 buttons each representing a color (red, green, yellow, blue, teal, pink, white and black ..)
3.1) I enter some text into the richtext box.
3.2) I select part of the text.
3.3) When I press a button, e.g Blue and the selected text changes to that color.
3.5) I have a copy button, that copies the content of the richtextbox .. and that is where the problem starts .. (The copied text has no color and so on .
4) If I press, for example the Blue Button, I want that the following text "^4", is written just in front of the selected text and that the selected text is colored blue at the same time. The other text should not be affected by those adjustments ..
5) If the "^4" is inserted, it should be hidden
6) If everything is colored, I press the copy button and it should copy the whole text, including for example the "^4" ..
7) I want the "^4" to be hidden, because it looks better, but if I copy the content of the RichText box it should be included ..
Rather complicated question here. I am improving the text coloring in my custom RTB ontrol, and it is pretty simple:Quote:1. Disable drawing (SetDrawing(False))2. Get current selection
3. Select lines to colorize4. Process selection RTa Font object.
Dim listbox1 As New ListBox
listbox1.Items.Add("<br/>")
Dim int As Integer = 0
Dim line As String = RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)
For Each item In listbox1.Items

My coding selects an item from the list box and tries to color the words in the currently selected line, however, it often colors characters that come after the instance. Why is this happening?
How would I use his code and get it to work with a RichTextBox when a button is clicked?

I've developed a MySQL chat app that I have in my program. It works perfectly, however all of the text is the same color. I use a silver-on-black scheme. I'd like to do 1 of 2 things, whichever one is.. er.. "more possible". The first option would be simple - alternate each row's back color. So that one row would be silver-on-black, the next row would be black-on-silver, and so on alternating. Each row is separated by a "vbCrLf". The second option would be to merely bold or turn to white the info text. Here's the format of the chat messages: [{time} - {user}] {message}. I would want [{time} - {user}] to be bold and white. Are either of those 2 options possible? Well, I know they're possible
View 1 RepliesWhen 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've a question: in a form i've a combobox that inside it are lots of names, and beside it i've a RichTextBox with a text that is generated when i click a button in this same form...using a phrase to examplify the text that i'm talking about, "soccer is the best sport in the world" and inside the combobox i've "soccer/football/golf/tennis" then i would like to know what code i should use to the same text that was generated, substituting only one word, and that word must be the word contained in the corresponding combobox...
example: in RichTextBox i've "soccer is the best sport in the world", then i pick in the combobox the world "tennis", i want a code that after i click the button, transform this phrase to "tennis is the best sport in the world".
I've been trying to figure this out lately by looping a richtextboxfinds code replacing the integer with a value -1 than the integer before it after the starting string in that code. But for some reason I can't get it to loop through my text upwards.
It loops down through the text fine, however i'm not satisfied with that loop either, it seems a bit buggy.
[Code]...
The down search seems to take 2 clicks on my button handler to actually change the selected text that it finds, and then I used the code for an upward search, it would search one more down upon pressing my "search up" button, before not doing anything after that on the next click. So i'd assume something is wrong with the down search function as well.
