View 2 RepliesI use this code to search items, using a textbox, in a listbox:

Dim count As Integer = (ListBox2.Items.Count - 1)
Dim words As String

Quite simple but I'm having the hardest times trying to write something that'll do what I want. I have 1 listbox with 3 pre-defined strings each in their own index. I'm trying to search through a textbox to see if any of the strings in my listbox were found. So far I have no compatible code so I seek help from the professionals.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to write a class to implement search as you type. e.g. a form has a textbox and a listbox. Each time the textbox text changes, the list is the list box is filtered accordingly. E.g entering "ha" in the textbox would cause the filtered listbox to display 'I plan on implemtneting a sayt class.(see example below)
The thing I am having problems is working out how the two controls will 'talk 'to each other.
e..g when the textchanged event fires for the textbox, how does a sayt object 'know' that it needs to refilter the listbox?
[Code]...
I can't seem to get my program to send anything to this text box. I am able to receive the handles of each object, but never able to send to it.
Here is my code.
vb.net
Public Const WM_SETTEXT = &HC
Public Const WM_KEYDOWN = &H100

It wont even set focus.I have the right amount of tiers ... perhaps im in need of the use of GetControl?
First of all, is it even remotely possible to have PostMessage or SendMessage "press keys" inside of a Fullscreen game? I.e. use the Chat? (Requires the user to activate the chat box, type in the message, then send it, which is all done with the keyboard)
I've tried many different ways using WM_KEYDOWN and WM_CHAR, and nothing worked.
[Code]...
I am trying to get it to activate the user's chat by pressing enter, type in the text, then press enter again. Except, I would like for the game to be minimized and allow this to work. Or, if while the game was running in fullscreen, that I was able to use SendMessage or PostMessage to type text into a Command Prompt Window.
I am using the following code to click a button for displaying another form to click on:
Dim hwnd As Integer = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Virtual CDRom Control Panel")
Dim x As Integer = FindWindowEx(hwnd, 0, vbNullString, "Driver Control ...")
SendMessage(x, BM_CLICK, 0&, 0&)
Thread.Sleep(200)
hwnd = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Virtual CD-ROM Driver Control")
Debug.Print(hwnd)

I have a listbox which on form load generates correctly from a text file like so in a listbox...ex"John Doe, 1""Bob Brown,2"I now would like to search the listbox if it contains either a "1" or a "2" which is does in this case and copy the item to another listbox. The 1 and 2 indicate positions I have a position listbox for each position. So 3 listbos, first one contains the names on form load, 2 other empty listboxes one for position 1 other for position 2...I have tried the following
If xReservationListBox.SelectedIndex = xReservationListBox.FindString("1") Then
'MessageBox.Show("Found It")
xSpot1ListBox.Items.Add(xReservationListBox.Items(0))
[code].....
for now, i am using this code but it doesnt give me what i want.. for example i want to list all the items with the string "1"
Dim x, count As Integer
x = ListBox1.Items.Count
count = 0

I have a listbox named listbox1 then a button beside a textbox for searching records inserted inside
the listbox..
but when I dont type anything, the listview items gone..,what is the best way to solve this?
Because 70 has a number which is 4 it will no longer be tested so we will test the second number which is 5)Because 6 is not less than 5 it will test the next number which is 25. 6 is less than 25 so it will move the number to the second listbox.)If you still dont get it iam willing to give you more idea and information.

View 2 RepliesI'm migrating an application from VB6 to VB.Net and I found a change in the behavior of the ListBox and I'm not sure of how to make it equal to VB6.The problem is this:In the VB6 app, when the ListBox is focused and I type into it, the list selects the element that matches what I type. e.g. If the list contains a list of countries and I type "ita", "Italy" will be selected in the listbox.The problem is that with the .Net version of the control if I type "ita" it will select the first element that starts with i, then the first element that starts with "t" and finally the first element that starts with "a".
