I'm a beginner who's been trying to learn Visual Basic for a couple of months now (no prior programming experience) and I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to help a newbie like me out with something.
What I'm trying to do is make a Mad Libs-style program with a multi-line textbox and a button where I type in something like:

I'm new to VB and am trying to create something that will change specific words within a DB entry to a random word from a table. My goal is to change swear words to a random word in a separate table (like darn, dang, waterstopper, etc.) So far I have an "Input" table with the text I need to change and a "SwearRep" table with a list of words I need to replace in col "WBad" and their replacements in "WGood".

A timer will also start, but I have that part done.

I have a solution that contains several class Libs that are called by a main windows app.
One of these libs (Utils) has a form that I display to provide feedback. It's content is controled via properties in the class as is the show/hide actions. The form is declared as "Public lfrmMsg As New frmMessage" in a module with the class project.
The first time I call the form it works fine. However after calling the hide property (calls lfrmMsg.hide) I can no longer show the form as it is disposing.
My objective is to have a single instance of this form that can be called at different times and by different classes/apps.
txt1 = help and txt2 = me! txt3 = not here, when i enter the other box i want the okay to drop sign to come up, after drop txt1=me! and txt2 = help.if i drag to txt3 display the can't drop sign.Iv'e tried everything all i can do is replace one way.also,i want the can't drop and can drop simbols to show.so far

I am creating an application and am very new to VB. I have 4 buttons on my form which is like my applications main menu. I would like that each of the buttons behaves in the following way when there is a mouse rollover: The Button back color is changed from the default to Red The Button text is changed to Blue, Bold, and increases in font size I would also like all the buttons to go back to their initial state when the mouse leaves.
Another thing, instead of me writing code for each of the buttons event handlers (Mouse Hovers, and Mouse Leaves) is there a way I can write this code once, maybe as a function and then always call it for any button that I create from here on so that any new buttons take on this behaviour.
I'm building a program in which it asks for your name and age and determines a ticket price based upon these details. I want it to show the person's name, then their age, (jump down a line) then their ticket price, and then it jumps down a line to show the next person's name, age and ticket price. Issue is, when it's meant to jump down to show the next person, it just completely deletes the last person's details.I'm using this line of code:
TxtFareShow.Text = (Name & Age & vbCrLf & Price) & vbCrLf
How do I fix this?
We want to Replace some text from a textbox (multiline) with = the text in our combobox and we want to replace it with its new one (in a textbox)
heres our code
If TextBox7.Text.Contains(ComboBox1.Text) Then
TextBox7.Text.Replace(ComboBox1.Text, TextBox1.Text)
End If
so that says, If the textbox(multiline) contains whats in our combobox, then replace it with the text in textbox1..
My program paste lots of stuff to a text box. Is it possible to replace every character that is not a number or a point to nothing? It may get lots of weird character there so is here way to replace them to �� and keeping numbers?

View 7 RepliesI am building an application with a multi tabbed UI. On the form, I have a textbox above, a tabstrip below the textbox and a button for creating new tabs. I am having problems trying to make the textbox accept and procees input for the various tabs I've created, what I want is a senario whereby, the textbox input for Tab1 varies from Tab2 and so on... Just like the way a tabbed browser operates. Let me give some sought of illustration:
""" I create a new tab named tab1, then in the textbox above I enter "Michael", then when I create a second tab, the textbox entry for Tab1 is cleared, then i enter "Jackson" into the textbox. When I go back to Tab1, the textbox entry for tab1 changes back to what I entered earlier which was "Michael". If I then decided to go back to Tab2 the textbox entry should change to what i entered for Tab2 which was "Jackson". """
In essence what I am saying is the textbox should store and restore its state, whether text was entered or not, for each and every Tab that is created.

View 3 RepliesI have two lines of text which have long space (more like 14-15 spaces) before the actual text. I have tried simple replace to split and merge but nothing is working. I have also tried trim and the worst thing is that ASCII gives code of 32. But nothing works. Here is the text :

What I basically have is a small game which I want to count wins/loss/ties. I have no problem with the game aspect but need to know how I can replace a string in a csv file. IE: If Jim wins the game, his 5 needs to be turned to a 6. After googling quite a while I came across the replace() function, but it doesn't actually rewrite it back to the text file

The issue I have, is if I try to use any sort of IO function after this (WriteAllLines, streamwriter, etc) - I get a process is being used and can't touch the file (because its being read).Must I somehow create a new file with a copy of everything including the replaced string?
I am using the following code, but cannot get this to work. I have got it to work if the replacement is just of one word. So if the word test is replaced by mouse and the only thing in the file is the word test, it works.
How can I replace like this:
CH_IPVOD_filename.mpg > replace the CH_IPVOD_ with nothing for the result of:
