View 4 RepliesI'm new to programming and to Windows Forms development. I'm using VB.NET and Visual Studio 2008.
My question is: How do I open Notepad from a Windows Forms application, and then place some text string in the Notepad window?
i have always seemed to have found the default windows notepad useful. no matter what type of app i create that saves, edits, and does everything notepad does plus tons more, i always seem to end up using notepad one way or another.. until recently..
i finally designed my own custom notepad. pretty much all the features, minus a few, and plus a few.. i like the new features. ;o)

View 1 RepliesCurrently, I've used System.IO.StreamWriter to write items to a text file. However, what I have are items separated by a Writeline(). Meaning, the items are displayed in several rows, in a column. But what I want is a single row, with many columns, separated by commas for each item. Example of what I want: 16/8/2010,100,you

Option strict is almost always on for me, because I like to know how the conversions are with my application to reduce any conversion conflictions as well.
Here's my current code so far where rtb1 is the main editor, and rtb2 is the line display on the left side like in notepad++. So far my code allows for a number to be added on a new line in the line display when the enter key is pressed, however I want to know how I can get rid of those numbers whenever a backspace or deleted selection of text or the delete key erases a {vbLf} entry in rtb1 so that I can remove the integers on the left side accordingly to keep up with an accurate line count display. Also adding the number of "lines" (as integers/numbers) to that left hand display depending on how many {vbLf} entries there are in a pasted clipboard.Then that should cover everything about the line display, except for loading a document and automatically displaying the number of lines in the text. I believe i'd have to count the number of occurences of {vbLf} upon opening a document, but I haven't tried yet, so i'm not sure how slow or fast that would render opening a document.

I'm having some trouble using resource files. In my project I'm using a bunch of bitmap files and two txt files. Bitmaps are used as backgrounds for controls, but .txt files I want to open in Notepad or WordPad. Till now I was accesing them from a file path on my machine:
ControlName.backgroundimage = New Bitmap(direcorypath & "/Map.bmp")
Process.Start(direcorypath & "/Instrukcje.txt")
And it worked fine. Now I added these files to my resources (it's practical for me to have them in executable file) And replaced those lines with:
ControlName.backgroundimage = New Bitmap(MyProject.My.Resources.Map)
Process.Start(MyProject.My.Resources.Instrukcje)
For bitmap it works fine, but for txt file an error occurs saying that a file cannot be found.
Interestin thing is: when I type "MyProject.My.Resources.Instrukcje" in "Watch" it shows the content of the file. So it is there, only not as a file?

View 7 RepliesI have searched, but failed to find a suitable answer to this. My small app saves a text file using a savefiledialog and stream writer. Then if successful, displays a messagebox confirming sucess and asks if the user wants to open the text file now. and this is the problem... How do I determine if the user has changed the filename and or path in the savefiledialog when saving? I'd prefer not to hard code a path and file name if possible.... but that seems like the only option? and therefore I can't show the file straight after saving reliably??
