In VB6, you can use the SendMessage API to quickly find a list item: [URL] I can't find how to do that in VBNet (with the API)
View 2 RepliesQuite 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?

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

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".

I'm currently working on a program that involves a listbox, database and some (rich) Textboxes. Let's assume I'm making a contactlist program.The database connection is established, placed 'ContactName' in listbox.When you click on someone's name in the listbox, I want the program to get the data of that person and show that data in RichTextbox1. I've spend hours thinking how to accomplish that but all I got was headaches.
A second thing I would like to do is to place a textbox on the form and when you type a character it removes all the entries in the listbox except for the ones that matches.So if I'm searching for John Doe and I type "John" in the textbox I would like to see all the John's in my contact list. Or when I search for John and only type "oh" I would like to remove all the items that don't have any "oh" in their names. (Search box)
I am wanting to make a program in VB.NET that has many files.doc in a specific folderThis program has on top a textbox(txtSearch) with a button(btnSearch)under that this has two listbox(lstOption, lstResult), that are floating a left,one richtextbox(rtbDoc) that is floating a right.I want that when the user writes in txtSearch and click on button then the application will read all files, and find for this string.
