View 1 RepliesI am trying to add items from a text file into a list box...I got that far. Now I want to click on the item in the listbox and have coresponding information appear in a textbox. How might I do this? I know it has to look something like this>
lstbxdisplay.Items(lstbxdisplay.SelectedIndex) = Textfile information Then textbox1 = " "
I know this must be more simple than i'm making it out to be, but it's not working for me.I have a listbox with items that are set up in a specific order and need to be kept in that order when going into the text box line by line.

I have a checklistbox control,
Friend WithEvents clstTasks As System.Windows.Forms.CheckedListBox
that I usually want to populate with a list of task names. I call the add method to add a Task object to the list. I know that if I override the ToString method, whatever value is returned by that function will be displayed as the text for the list item.
However, in rare situations, I want to display something else other than just the name. For example, perhaps I want to display the name and the value of another property, such as the value of the Boolean property "Optional" shown in parenthesis following the name.
The best that I can think of is to define a property which is set in the GUI layer and then used by the ToString function to determine how it should behave when called. If the controlling property is set to one value, the ToString will return the Name, else it will return the Name followed by the value of the Optional flag. This seems a little disjoint a kludged to me.
The other alternative which seems a little overkill is to define a new class which inherits from Task, for example TaskOptional, which overrides the Tostring method on the base class. In this subclass, the ToString function would return the Name/Optional flag value. However, this, too, seems a little nuts to have to come up with a new class just to modify how the text is being displayed in the presentation layer. I feel that I should be able to control this in the presentation layer without changing the business object or creating a new derived object.
What is the best way to accomplish this?

This is a WinForms Application in VB. In my application I am trying to make it easier for the user to pick out items in a list quickly based on the items text color.. So I am trying to assign the color to each item using a select case statement as below... The problem is that I am getting an error saying "Public member 'Attributes' on type 'String' not found." VB flags the lines with the Attribute.Add param with this error.. Here is the code that I currently have...
For Each u In _units
_counter += 1
u_lookupNumber_box.Items.Add((Convert.ToString(u.UnitId)) + " - " + (Convert.ToString(u.perMonthCost)))

I did notice that when I did the .attributes part when I hit "." and typed "att" it did not appear in the intelisense box in vb.. Which makes me think I need to assign the name "attributes" somehow to the dropdownbox first.. It should be noted that u_lookupNumber_box is the name of the drop down box on my form..

I need to load a large txt file that is in a fixed width format. There are over 45K lines, so speed is important.I need to load one of the fields into a dropdown box and have another field (label) display the text of another field in the related line.I could import the file to an access db if needed, but would rather not as i also want the txt file to update from a link on a regular bases. So having it in a DB would be more work to process that part.[code]

I'm having problems with getting a rich text box control in vb.net to automatically wrap text to a new line when text is "loaded" from a text or rich text file that was created with an editor such as wordpad. Both the multiline and wordwrap properties are set to true. Also the RightMargin property is set to the width of the rich text box control minus 20.
It seems as though the word wrap function only works when I'm typing text into the rich text box. But I need it to work when I'm loading text from a file in the format of .rtf or .txt that was created with a text editor such as notepad or wordpad.

I have 10 fields showing in datagridview. As the last 5 columns header is long, the datagridview is not fitting inside 1 page (not showing all 10 fields in one single page). But is there a way i can "Text Wrap" the top header column and lock in the width, then it should print across one page perfectly. How I can "Text Wrap" the top header column and lock in the width to print across one page.
Hi, I'm working on a program that reads text entered into a textbox and creates a list of items by separating entries by commas. Everything is working fine, except, because I am using an array to store the items in the list, I have a limited number of entries. This is only a problem because, as it is written currently, each comma counts as an individual entry. Therefore, users can enter ",,," for example, and it would use up 3 places in the array.
I'm looking for a way to check to make sure there is text after the comma before adding an entry. I've attempted to use the .substring command to check the character after, which works until it gets to the last character. Because there is no character after that, it will give an error.
Here is my code for extra clarity:

I'm looping all the properties in an object via reflection:
For Each p As PropertyInfo In values.[GetType]().GetProperties()
If p.CanRead Then
'Do stuff
End If
Next
how to determine whether the property in question is a generic List(Of T)? If it is I need to loop the list itself.
I've experimented with GetType and TypeOf but have not managed to get anything working.
To clarify, I want to keep this generic. I do not want to specify the type of T, I need to loop the list items and call the ToString method on each item. T could be one of a number of different types (application specific reference types). Is it possible to do this without specifying types?
