I am new to Visual Basic 2010, but I have been trying to make a line reader with an imported text document into a RichTextBox through an internet source.
I want the RichTextBox's line zero (the first line) to really be line one, but without changing the text in the TextBox to show the change. In other words, I want that change to happen in the background of the program.
I have tried... taking the text from one TextBox and putting it into another, while subtracting an integer value of onean attempt to use a timer to copy the text from one TextBox to another to read the line properly.
I have tried a couple of other things too, but most of them were much more complicated and I could not really explain what each thing did.[code]...

I'm developing a program at the moment and I'm trying to add the capability to add a texbox everytime you click a button. This is simple other than I'm trying to be efficiant as possible, so I made a sub that creates the textbox and the button calls the sub. Here is where it gets tricky I want the new textbox to move just below the previouse textbox, I'm not sure how to do this since Im only really createing one textbox over and over and having a variable name it by one. This souds confusing I know, but check out my code and it will make since. Really all I'm trying to do is change the location of a unknown textbox say since I create a textbox name textbox0 then when I hit the button again my varibale goes up by 1 which makes the new textbox, textbox1. how to I tell VB to change textbox1's location....
Code:
Public
Class
frmExpenses
'I made everything public because I'm runnings a test timer which are sending realtime data to some labels

I am working on a a program that uses a textbox to display data from a telescope. Normally the data is standard ASCII characters, but there is one time when the data is displayed as blocks to indicate the number of degrees to go. The textbox font is set to Sans Serif in the property box. When I show the blocks, I want to switch to Wingdings. I have searched how to change the textbox font and tried several ways found, but none of them work. I know that the textbox will handle Wingdings - I can set the font property and it displays correctly.
The most common method I have seen is: txtDisplay1.Font = New Font("Wingdings",26.0, FontStyle.Regular) ,but like all the other methods tried, the font never changes.
In my form there is a AXVS Flex Grid and a textbox.Firstly the textbox will not visible. When the focus will be on a particular column of the flexgrid then the textbox will be visible and the flex will be disable.The position of the text box will be at the bottom of the particular row at the first time. But when another row is inserted then i need to change the position of the textbox to the botoom of the new row and so on.

A particular string I have 2 variables that can be changed. If I stay on this screen I can change either variable just as I need
however when I change to another screen then return my string is 1 digit longer and when I wish to edit this string my program fails because the string isn't the expected length.

View 4 RepliesMy client wanted to have a textbox in the Customer form of the application, which offers the applicable endings to a started street name. He starts to type a street name and the textbox offers a list of streets which start with the char sequence he typed into the textbox. Textboxes have the AutoCompleteCustomSource property and even though a list of common street names will be longer than it could be pre-filled on start, I could just hit a database with a query, populate an AutoCompleteStringCollection and show that to the user.
Now here's the thing: If I make the list populate on every keypress/keydown whatever, the program crashes and throws an AccessViolationException. I've found out that that's because: The control is in the middle of showing the AutoComplete list when at the same time it is being modified, resulting in the crash. When you refresh the Autocomplete List, the control is recreated with new pointers. Keyboard and mouse events (KeyPress, MouseOver, MouseLeave, MouseHover) attempt to reference the old control's pointers which are now invalid in memory causing a memory access violation to occur.
The underlying AutoComplete implementation does not allow for changing the AutoComplete candidate list object once it has been set on a window. To allow changing the list, WinForms destroys the Edit control or ComboBox and recreates it. This causes an exception if the underlying control is destroyed while the AutoComplete window is still use it. I read about this on MSDN, their resolution: Do not modify the AutoComplete candidate list dynamically during key events. I know that you can do this by creating a custom control and such, but can it be done with just pure coding wizardry?
I have tried the following for changing backcolor and forecolor of each textbox in the form cant cant do the same for changing the font size
Here is my code'[code...]
I have a project im working on and im trying to change the font color of a specific string basically how vb does while your coding. (eg if i type dim it turns blue).I want to do this with a textbox in a vb application to show a topic of interest. It needs to be dynamic so when a user types it only changes the color of the specified string. I have tried
If TextBox2.Text.Contains("dim") Then
TextBox2.ForeColor = Color.Red
End If
but this changes all the text in the textbox to the color.
how to validate and save the results of a textbox when I change to another tab on a tabcontrol?I have found the SelectedIndexChanged and LostFocus but they do not tell what was the tab that has been previously selected, so I then can do that validation and save. is there an event that triggers before the SelectedIndexChanged?
