I'm building an app that is a basic daytimer type of app. My problem is that I can't get the textbox(Textbox1) backcolor and text to change when I need it to. For instance, if there are events for January 12 and the user clicks on the Jan 12 link in the Calendar control, if there are any events in the SQL table for that day it should populate the appropriate times. The funny, or not so funny, thing is that I have another textbox named "TheEvent" that I can change the backcolor and text on with the code below and it works fine.[code]...

VBbasic 2008: I have a readonly textbox in a panel. The background color needed to be change to white for a more "readable" text. The problem is when I set the panel "enabled= false", the only control that does not look "disabled" is my textbox because it stays "white"! Even if I set the textbox to disable, it stays "white". How do you change the default backcolor of a readonly textbox instead of "forcing" it to white? Is it possible?

Is there a way to change the forecolor and backcolour of a piece of text inside a textbox or a rich textbox?
Lets see if I can explain-I have a text box (rich text box) in a form. Inside the box, some data gets put in there- specifically insurance information.
Normally, the box doesn't need to change color to alert the user there's a problem with the text that's inside, because the information is usually good.But there are a few phrases that need to alert the user there's a problem.
For example, if the words "Not Found AS OF:" appear anywhere in the box, I need the background to show red.Or, if the words "Letter #1" appear in the box, it needs to show red. Absent of any key words, the box is normal (white).

View 2 RepliesThe title says it all, I'm having some difficulties with the combobox, The items in the list are "Black & Green" - Black will be the Backcolor of a Text box, and Green will be the Forecolor.The App I made is just a Mimic of a CMD, and replicates the output of the command into the Textbox. It's 100% complete, but I'd love it to have the ability to have different colors to choose rather than White and Black.

I am working on a new application that retrieves webpage source info and displays data based on that data. Currently i have it read it from a textbox. What i want the application to do is read this textbox or textfile and seach for <name= and then read the rest of the line that its on. The source of the specific page i'm talking about will sorta look like:
<name=ASDF, Rank=2, Gender=0><blahblah234981723948> <name=A, Rank=3, Gender=1> <name=F, Rank=6, Gender=0>
and after each thing that contains <name= and all the way to the next > it saves the data to a string then adds to listbox
Since this might be confusing to you heres my pseudo
dim Users as integer 'counter
for each line in textbox1.text that .contains <name=
users=users=+1
listbox1.items.add(whatever is after name= and before , in source)
next
and then after that i want to retrieve the gender and rank and ext but you get the point..
