there is any way to change the caret? (no the Cursor icon but the vertical little bar at the typing position)
the caret is really very tiny and I like to have option to change it to an yellow block, an red blinking underline or so.
In a .NET 3.5 application, i want to get caret position in a RichTextBox control. The RTB is not XAML. Also, the RTB doesn't have CaretPosition property as described here: [URL] What is the simplest way using which i can get the caret position?
EDIT:To be more specific i want to find out what is the position of the caret from the start of the line on which it is positioned. I can get the line number by using GetLineFromCharIndex(rtb.SelectionStart) but not the offset from the start of the line.
I've searched the web for an answer, but i was not able to find a way to hide the caret of a RichTextBox in VB.NET.I've tried to set the RichTextBox.Enabled property to False and then change the background color and foreground color to non-grey ones but that did not do the trick.

I have tried using the CreateCaret and ShowCaret API calls, but they only seem to work with normal text boxes. Is there any way to modify them so they work with RichTextBoxes?

View 2 Replieseven Word Pad, when you scroll your Caret (the I-beam for browsing through text) through the text, in the font combobox, the font of the text you are browsing through will be displayed, and when you scroll your caret through a different font, the font will be changed. If you're confused, look at attatched picture.
I cannot seem to find a caret position changed event on the normal richtextbox control - and if anyone can show me a custom component with this it would help me a huge amount.So my basic question is how can i replicate the formentioned function in my own VB.NET program.No code is necessary just constructive suggestions, or links to other projects would be welcome.

I am making a program in VB.NET and need to hide the Caret in textboxes.
I could live with it being either completely hidden or just the same colour as the textboxes background colour. How can I go about doing this? I would prefer to stay away from Custom Controls if at all possible.
I have a login form with a background image. The image is OK during coding but not perfect when run. Now, I tried to superimpose two textboxes on it, one for username and one for password. However, unlike a normal form there is no caret in any textbox even when clicked. Though text can be entered in the textboxes, the characters are also say blurred.
View 6 RepliesI am using a virtual keyboard I have created to write text to a textbox. Before I start typing the caret is showing the current typing position and will continue to do so if I use the physical keyboard. The problem I have is as soon as I enter a character using the virtual on-screen keyboard the caret disappears and will not come back until I use the mouse to click inside the textbox. The following is the code I use for entering an 'h'
Private Sub H_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles H.Click
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Application.StartupPath & "Click.WAV") Then
My.Computer.Audio.Play(Application.StartupPath & "Click.WAV")

View 4 RepliesTrying to change the color of more than one of the same text within a RichTextBox. [Code] The above code searches for, and changes the color of all "Boat"s found in the RichTextBox. There are a few problems, such as: If you were to go back to edit the RichTextBox and place your cursor in front of the, now blue word, "Boat" and type then all of your text would be blue. Also, the text you wish to change the color of in the RichTextBox MUST be Exactly the same as: "Search1", aka "Boat", capital letters and all.

I am using visual studio 2010 and I put a font dialog to change in a rich textbox. I tried this code:
richtextbox1.Font.Name = Fontdialog1.font
and it didnt work I dont know why.
If someone types in something like "red", I'd like the word's font color to become red. I tried something like this:
Dim red As String = "red"
Dim fnt As Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25)
If RichTextBox1.Find(red) > 0 Then
For Each _str In RichTextBox1.Text
Dim my1stPosition As Integer = RichTextBox1.Find(red)
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = my1stPosition
But I dislike the highlighting-type approach.
I'm trying to find a few words and i want them to be for example in red.this is for a Html Editor. so i need it to list all words. for example i would need it to highlight "div", and "table", and lots of other words. all of them need to be red. or if it could highlight all words that are in "< >" would be amazing. iv been searching google and the internet for like 4 days. there is code out there but it will only highlight one word.
