I am using a label to display a song for an mp3 player. I wanted to scroll the text inside the label for anything that is longer than the label width. I figured out the width of the label and if the width of the text inside the label is longer. But I have no idea how to turn this into subtracting parts/pixels of the text currently displayed and how to append the subtracted parts to the end of the new text.[code]
View 3 RepliesI'm fairly new to VB and I had a quick question. I have a multi-line text box that currently looks (line for line) like this:
scn <Name>
Begin <Start Variable>
End
What I am trying to do is make so when I enter text into a different text box (lets call it textbox2) and push an 'Update' button, it replaces a certain part of the original text box. For example:
If I enter "Dogs and Cats" into textbox2 and push update, then this:scn <Name>
becomes this:scn Dogs and Cats
How would you do that? Excuse my lack of VB programming lingo like I said I'm new to this language.
OK, so the following is a link to a picture of my program. I'm including it because I feel it makes things a lot simpler. some information. When you click Rename, it goes to that Rename form. The information already there is the current name. What I plan to do is make it easy to rename the file.What I want is when the user clicks one of the handy buttons, the information appears in the text box (as I've gotten that far already). When the button is clicked again, it removes ONLY the specified information. I don't know if you can, and if you can, what to use. Currently I'm using clear which is obviously wrong. I want essentially:
When button is selected
Append Text Variable A
When button is deselected

I am attempting to append information to a textbox in VB. My app allows the user to choose a variety of options and displays all the information in a single, read-only text box.
I would like to set it up so every time an event triggers something to be written in the text box, it gets appended instead of overwriting the text currently in the box.
The only constraint is that text should be appended as a new line, not directly after the last sentence.

Say I've got a variable that contains multiple words, each one separated by a newline. What I'm trying to do is add specific text to the end of each line in that variable.
For example, say the variable contains...
alpha
bravo
charlie
etc
etc.
And say the text I want to append is "newtext"
So then I'd like the output to look like...
alpha newtext
bravo newtext
charlie newtext
etc
etc
What I tried to do is to split that variable into an array (separated by newline), and then use a For Each to append the newtext to each line in the array. But it's obvious I haven't messed around with VB in a long time, as something is wrong with my logic. Here's what I've got...
Dim Text_Array() As String
Dim OriginalText As String
Dim OutputText As String
