View 7 RepliesVS 2008 Find And Select Text In Text Editor?
Dec 31, 2009I'm adding a method to find and select text in my text editor. Everything worked fine, including the ability to find all instances of the text. My problem came when I tried to make it more user-friendly (doesn't it always?). Originally I had only a menu item with a shortcut( Ctrl + F) which invoked an input box.
Then I added a textbox and a button (similar to that seen in a web browser's Find() method) that calls the method in the same manner as the Find/Replace menu option and displays the desired text in the textbox. Everything works fine except that the text is not selected. I have MessageBoxes displaying the values of required variables in 3 places (marked ***FOR DEBUG ONLY***) to make sure that no values are being changed, but all variables are the same. The method still locates the text, but it is not highlighted.
I think it could have something to do with which object has focus. (When I click the button, the selected text loses focus?). But if I click everything with the menu items, it still works...
Here is the

Nov 4, 2011how I can select the text in a textbox/richtextbox that is between two designated strings? Like, for instance, lets say "<b>" is the first string, and "</b>" is the second.

Replace Text And Select Only Certain Letters?
Sep 9, 2010Okay, this is more than just a find text and replace it. how to select only certain letters ( such as A and T will be used in this example ) and replace them with another. For example, I have a document that says:
Hello this is a test application. Thank you for testing!
and i save it, i want it to in a way to encrypt it, what do i mean? i mean like replace all the letters with other, then apply the opposite code for opening the file to "decrypt" it. Like what i would replace is something like change all the A's to T's. But the thing is i need to do this for all the letters. Im sure there are places on how to find and replace text, thats easy, but is there a way to do this in simple lines of codes without having to write a seperate code for all 26 letters?
Select A Line Of Text In A RichTextBox?
Jun 13, 2010I have a RichTextBox in a VB2008 Windows Form application. The RichTextBox has tabs set at 250 and 400. The following code snippet is used to populate the RichTextBox using the result of a LINQ query.
rtbData.AppendText(String.Format("{0}.
{4}{1}. {4}{2}{3}", strTitle, strAuthor, strBook, ControlChars.CrLf, ControlChars.Tab))
I've noticed that most of the time it takes several mouse clicks to highlight a desired line of text in the RichTextBox. Is there some code that will allow selecting the entire line that a user clicks on? The length each line in the RichTextBox is not the same.

Select Underlined Text From Rtf Using Regex?
Jan 26, 2012i want to select the next piece of text which is underlined. You see the rtf of a richtextbox has following code for an underlines text :
uli0 hello friendulnonei
But the normal text looks like underlined. What i want to do is on a click of button the rtfbox should select the next piece of text which is underlined. An example piece of text is :
hello [friend your] house [looks] amazing.
imagine the words within square brackets are underlined. When i first click button1 "friend your" should be selected and on next click "looks" should be selected. Kind of keep moving forward and keep selecting it type of application. I know this can be done using regex but can't build a logic.

View 11 Replies.net - Select Cell In DataGridView By Header Text?
Feb 29, 2012I'm looping through rows in a datagridview, and selecting a cell from the 3rd column each time:
Dim customer_name as String
For Each dgvr As DataGridViewRow In myDataGridView.Rows
customer_name= dgvr.Cells(2).Value
'....
next dgvr
However, I'd really like to make it dynamic, in case a new column gets added to the grid, so that I need the 4th column, not the 3rd. I'd like to use the column's header text. So something like...
customer_name= dgvr.Cells("Customer").value
Can this be done?
