Im trying to put text into a RTB using buttons. These then auto fill in notes etc in the RTB to say a user did X at X time and date. This was working fine when i did it for a plain text RTB. But when using RTB i have had to change my origional code from:
Private Sub Button20_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button20.Click
NotesBox.Rtf = Me.NotesBox.Text & vbNewLine & Date.Now.Day & "." & Date.Now.Month & "." &

I know how to enable the selected text style (bold, italic, underline...), maintaining other styles. For example, If I want to enable 'bold,' the following line of code works. [Code] I can also remove all text styles. I also know how to find out whether or not the selected segment of text has a style. But how do I remove the selected style without removing others? How do I disable only 'bold' while the selected segment of text has other styles like 'italic' and 'underline'?

This is my second post and today I have the following problem:I want to make a Steam Gamertag Maker ..
1) I have a RichTextBox.
2) I have 8 buttons each representing a color (red, green, yellow, blue, teal, pink, white and black ..)
3.1) I enter some text into the richtext box.
3.2) I select part of the text.
3.3) When I press a button, e.g Blue and the selected text changes to that color.
3.5) I have a copy button, that copies the content of the richtextbox .. and that is where the problem starts .. (The copied text has no color and so on .
4) If I press, for example the Blue Button, I want that the following text "^4", is written just in front of the selected text and that the selected text is colored blue at the same time. The other text should not be affected by those adjustments ..
5) If the "^4" is inserted, it should be hidden
6) If everything is colored, I press the copy button and it should copy the whole text, including for example the "^4" ..
7) I want the "^4" to be hidden, because it looks better, but if I copy the content of the RichText box it should be included ..

I used to use Visual Basic 6.0 to look up a webpage with Web Control, then I would paste the Text from that into a RichText document....then I would parse it down to what I was looking for. Now that I'm getting back into programming again, I have been trying to repeat this process with Studios 2010...but with little success so far.

is it possible to hook a file (let's say a text file) and track what goes in (or possible out) of it so if a 3rd party program adds "a note" to a text file a vb string picks up "a note" from the hook on that text file and adds it to a string or something.

I am trying to create a log file which I am going to use to populate some controls (DataGridView or Treeview). I am trying to figure out if should use text files or XML files to do so. Effectively the log will highlight multiple phases in a client-side app. The log will be written to at various phases when the project is running. The user will always have the options move on to the next phase or save progress and exit the project. As such, I want the log file to highlight how far the user has progressed throught the various phases AND I want the log to highlight varous information from each phase. Whenever the user starts the project, they will be given the option to load existing log files. So the project will have to read these log files and append them where necessary as the user progresses.
I am not sure what the best way to do this is and below is a rudimentary approach using text files. As you can see, the top of the file would have a summary of all the phases and whether or not the user completed each phase. Next each phase would have a data section highlighting what data was stored along the way. I have used a ":" to denote each section. Then within each section I would obviously need to use a delimeter for all my data. So if Phase1 = True, then I would load all the pertinent data from "Phase1:" into the desired control. Can anyone provide an efficient way of doing this and provide some insight as to whether I should use XML instead. The phases my change during development and I am not sure yet which controls I will be using. Does XML provide more flexibility.
In summary I am looking to create, read/write and append log files and populate controls with the data in varous sections of the log file. Example:
Phase1 = True
Phase2 = True
Phase3 = False
Phase4 = False

Is there a way to check if a RichText box is on the bottom? I don't think this is working:
Code:
If RichTextBox1.Selected = Len(RichTextBox1.Text)
'It's on the bottom
End If
What I am doing is, having the text go to the bottom (like a chat client) with this code:
Code:
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = Len(RichTextBox1.Text)
RichTextBox1.ScrollToCaret()
However, if the user is looking at what was sent before, it scrolls them back to the bottom.

I have a task to provide a RichTextBox control that behaves like a tooltip, ie:
1. Hovering when mouse moves
2. Remove after N seconds (customizable) or if the user closes it (by "X" button)
The regular tooltip does not provide a RichText capabilities (else I'd take it)
Should I take a form and put a RichText inside, and set the form properties accordingly? Something else?

I have a 3 richtext boxs where I add each line together and output to a textbox, all is working great. But the problem I am seeing is that I paste the contents from a spreadsheet which strips off the leading 0 (zero) from a 9 digit number into the 1st RTB.What I require is that I need to read each line in the 1st RTB and if the digits are = 8 then prefix them with a 0 (zero).

I've created a rich text box which stored the "textBox.Text" value in an SDF database. The storing works, but the formatting seems to be lost. Is this something that SDF databases can't handle? Do I need to store in binary or something? Not sure how to do that either.I'm using Visual Basic Express Edition with Winforms and writing in VisualBasic.NET btw This is how I store to the database:
Private Sub btnToolStripSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnToolStripSave.Click
Try
Me.Validate()
Me.SangerBindingSource.EndEdit()
[code]....
And this is how I insert the text in to the rich textbox
txtBoxText.SelectionFont = New Font("Verdana", 16, FontStyle.Bold)
txtBoxText.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.RoyalBlue

I'm creating a multipurpose chat application for my final year project. The control for typing in messages is a RichTextBox. The rich text (with all formatting) successfully reaches the other side. However, like any chat client, I'm also displaying a complete list of all the previous conversations above the RTB. I've used it as a RTB too. However, I'm unable to separate the incoming message by a new line... I mean like.. each message (with all formatting) on a new line. This is my code on the receiver side :

where, ServBox is my conversation box. I also tried changing ServBox to a List Box but the listbox doesn't seem to interpret formatted text....

I created a richtextbox on a form, a button to invoke the font dialog and another one for the color dialog.
Now user can type in any text and change the font size and color. It looks very nice customized on the screen. I saved it as and txt file.
I open the file to read. It is no more as colorful as when I type in. I 'd like to save the file with those customizetion so when the read on the other end will able to see what is important in the message.
