I am trying to add a line of text to a TextBox component in VB.net, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to force a new line. Right now it just adds onto what I have already, and that is not good.I have tried copying the actual linebreaks, didn't work. I tried AppendText(), didn't work.
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to count characters in a textbox, which includes newline characters and tabs. How do we know if the textbox contains only newline characters? ie or if the user types in one or more characters, then a bunch of "newline" characters (CR followed by LF) and then goes back and deletes the original one or more characters leaving only the leading "newline" characters. I don't want to count the characters in textbox only if new line exists..

i know i have to use a loop to get each line of the textbox onto a newline of a textfile but i dont know how to figure out how many lines of text the user has entered into a textbox. I tryed using a try statment to loop until it errors, it seems to work sometimes but other times it only takes half of the textbox and adds it to the textfile. And if atmaweapon reads this, i tryed to make better names for variables. Here is my code,
Code:
Path = ("Meals" & ComboBox1.SelectedItem & "" & TextBox1.Text & ".txt")
File = New System.IO.StreamWriter(Path)
If ComboBox2.SelectedItem = "1" Then
[Code]....
how many line of text there are... im not so shure how good it is to run a loop tell it errors for a textfile, but its the only way i could think of.
I am using a Rich TextBox in VB.NET and passing to a StringBuilder. I need to replace the New Line character from the TextBox with either a space or a comma. Problem is the standard codes for new line don't seem to be picking up this New Line character in this case. Is there a specific character used in Rich TextBoxes as the New Line?
View 5 RepliesI can't seem to get input focus on a textbox when a tab page first comes up (I'm using Windows Forms, VB.NET 3.5). I have a textbox on a panel on a tab page, and I want the focus to be on the textbox when the tab page comes up. I want the user to be able to start typing immediately in the focused textbox without having to click on the textbox. I have tab stops set in the order I want and the textbox is the first tab stop. The tab stops work except that when the tab page comes up the focus is not on the textbox, i.e. the one that's first in the tab order.
In the Enter event handler of the tab page I call the Focus method of the text box, but it returns False and does nothing, no error messages. I know I can access the text box because at the same point in the code I can set the text of the text box.If it matters, the layout of the tab page is a little complicated:[URL]..I want to set the focus on TextBox1.
What's the best way to get the focus on the desired textbox? If setting focus is the best way, why is the textbox.Focus() method failing?

I have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?
