I have 9 Text boxex and one command button and I'm looking for a code such that IF i set my cursor on a specific textbox using the mouse then I can be able to Input text in the textbox using the command button.
View 7 RepliesI am using this line of code to place a special character in a textbox at the cursor location:
Me.RichTextBoxPrintCtrl0.Text = Me.RichTextBox.Text.Insert(cursorloc, "ῳ")
It works good, but after it has been done, if you try to undo the action by pressing control Z, for example, it is not undoable. Is there a way to make the action undoable?
I have a text box with some text inside it;
the text is long (say 100 chars);
the textbox can display about 20 chars.
The following code:
tbxTest.SelectionStart = 5
tbxTest.SelectionLength = 60
selects a part of the text and sets the cursor (blinking beam) at the and of the selection, in this case the first caracters of the selected text is out of the user sight because the textbox is too small to display the entire selection.
Is it possible to force the cursor to be at the beginning of the selection so the first part of the text is visible? (as if I had selected my text with the mouse dragging from the end back towards the beginning)
I am building a GUI for a touchscreen panel using VB2008 and am trying to set up a password change screen. I have an on-screen keypad set up so the operator can use it to enter the new/old password. How do I return the value from the key pressed to where the cursor is located?

View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know how to copy a control (button, panel etc...) and place the control with the same click event on another part of a form while keeping the original in the same location? I have a custom user control that I created that has special features on click. If I have the control on the left side and want to drag it over to the right side I want the control duplicated, as this control can be duplicated unlimited times, and still have the same click event.

View 4 RepliesHow to set the exact location of the cursor in vb.net?
what i want to do: when form1 loads the cursor position is automatically set to the position (1680; 1050)
I'm trying to make a Form pop up at an random place (given in a textbox). Here is my code so far:
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
Form2.Location = Textbox1.text
Form2.Visible = True End Sub
Yes i know it doesn't work. What I really need to know is how to make the txt understandable for the system.drawing.point.
I need to know how to get the position of the mouse within a picturebox just as you would with e.location, but you can't use e.location with a picturebox and you also can't use Picturebox.Mouseposition which is very unfortunate.
View 2 RepliesI created a game where you use the mouse to play, it's like the game labirynth. You can't touch the walls or you lose. When I start the level I want the cursor to appear in it's starting position, which is a red picturebox.
Here is the code I used:
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position = New Point(679, 650)
The location where the cursor appears is actually dependent of the resolution of the screen.
For example: with my monitor resolution, the location (679, 650) is right on top of the picturebox i need it to appear on. but if you have a different resolution on your monitor it will appear on a different place. I need to actually make it appear on top of the picturebox.
I set up a sort of filter on my textBox in WinForms, to exclude particular characters from being entered by the client.
a) Clicking BackSlash causes the cursor to move to the front of the string of characters, rather than remain at the correct position
b) Subsequent clicks of BACKSLASH still causes deletion from the correct location but the cursor remains at the beginning of the string
Private Sub txtExp_KeyPress(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtExp.KeyPress
Dim strtext As String = txtExp.Text

What I would like instead is to have the cursor in the correct location at all times.
The code bellow should perform a mouse click at the location the cursor is pointed, however it only activates the control from that location.
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Declare Auto Function sendclick Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SendInput"_

ByVal cSize As Long) As Long

View 5 RepliesI am new to the forums and just started to learn vb.net. Currently I am making a project that require a lot of text. Since I would need over 20 labels and do not want to hide every single one, is there a way to place text on a specific place on form through coding. Then, I could just make it a sub and easily hide the text and reveal it
View 2 RepliesThis is probably easy but it is eluding me. I need to place text on a picturebox. I import an image (can be various sizes) and place it on a PB. The PB is in stretch mode. I can place text onto the image but because each image can be a different size the text is scaled to a different size for each image. I need the text to be the same size regardless of the image or PB size. I guess I am trying to place text directly on to the PB surface but I have no idea how.

Is it Possible for me to read text from textbox control and write it to .txt file at specific location.
for an instance.... say below with quote is my Text in .txt file:
"THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMP OVER THE LAZY DOG"
and with programming code I want to change some text in the same sentance become....(see below)
"THE QUICK GREY FOX JUMP OVER THE LAZY CAT"
so you can see the word BROWN change to GREY and word DOG change to CAT
Like I imagine everyone, I often have problems navigating my code because the flow can jump from place to place. For example, if my code calls routine1, and I then want to go to routine1's code, I know that I can click in the dropdown menu and it will take me to that sub. But wouldn't it be easier if I could somehow right click on the call to routine way and select something like 'take me there' which would transport me from the function making the call to the code for the function being called? Then it would be easy to hop from place to place.
View 1 RepliesBasically, there's a Rich Text Box here, and it's read-only. The user can tab inside it, and move the arrow keys up and down it. If I can get my code to work (read the line where the cursor is). I am using the following code:
Code:
Dim RTBLine As Integer = Me.RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(Me.RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)
If RTBLine < 2 Then RTBLine = 1 'used to prevent errors

I have a program written in vb.net 2003 which has text boxes for integer input. When the boxes appear, they are filled with the default value of zero. When the program is run on a computer running Windows XP the cursor appears in front (to the left) of the zero, but when run on Windows 7, the cursor appears behind (to the right) the zero.
In xp, if the user enters 1 (one) a 10 is diplayed and the user must delete the zero. In Windows 7, if the user enters 1, there is a leading zero which disappears once they have exited the text box. Is there a way to force one presentation or the other?

2nd problem: how to display a tooltip baloon on my mouse pointer?
I have a very wired problem. I have a txtbox which i attempt to act like a password box (ie. everything you type becomes ****)
I use a simple counter that just shows a * for each time the text is changed.However the "typer" wount follow, it just stays in the beginning. so the result is that the code is spelled backwards.
I use the following code. try it for yourself if you dont understand
