I have a Combo Box which I fill at design time and the Text property is set to blanks. I've added a button to clear the form. I would like to set the ComboBox to spaces, but the first entry shows up.
We have a combo box where users enter a part number. Auto-complete is on and we're in SuggestAppend mode with the source set as ListItems. The part number is in a format something like this:-
XX XX-XXX
2 chars, a space, 2 chars, a hyphen, 3 chars. The format does change slightly for different types of parts but the combination of characters (ignoring the spaces and hyphens) is always unique. The format is just a presentation issue but, for business/political reasons, we cannot 'flatten' it to just the characters.
Our users would like to be able to just type the characters and have the auto-complete work. However, they still want the display to show the spaces and hyphens, both in the list and in the 'textbox' part of the combo when they make a selection. So the list might look like:-
AB KN-TRD AB KN-TTN AB PR-TRD
[code]....
the user types AB, the list now looks like:-
AB KN-TRD AB KN-TTN AB PR-TRD AB PR-TTN
Now the user types K (nb, they have not typed a space), the list now looks like:-
AB KN-TRD AB KN-TTN
At this point it's acceptable for the textbox to show ABK (no space) but as soon as the the user makes a selection the textbox needs to contain the spaces and hyphens from the part number selected.My hunch is that there must be some sort of comparator function in the combobox I can override but I'm struggling to find the details as to how.
I just changed a control on a form from a masked textbox to a normal textbox because I wrote my own code to validate the data. I'm trying to clear the leading spaces that were created for this column in an Access database using the LTrim function and it doesn't work for some reason. The column is " :30" in the table and when I LTrim it and save the changes, it's still " :30" , not ":30". Is that leading entry not a space character?
I have the following macro that combines two columns in a table and then displays it in my ListBox. The problem is that when it combines the columns there is a large gap (spaces) between the two. How can I get rid of all the spaces?
Dim sourcedoc As Document, h As Integer, j As Integer, myitem As Range, m As Long, n As Long Set sourcedoc = Documents.Open(FileName:="U:INDUSTRIAL SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT.doc") h = sourcedoc.Tables(1).Rows.Count - 1
When I'm writing comments in my code, I often forget to add the initial space after the comment identifier.
'this is a comment
when really it is supposed to be
' this is a comment
I realize this is quite trivial, and you could simply say "just add the damn space you idiot", but I'd really like to automate this so that I just don't have to worry about it. add the comment space?note I do realize that a catch all string replace or regex replace could screw up other things ... IE:
Dim something As String = "I'm a nerd"
would actually come out
Dim something As String = "I' m a nerd"
if it's only on a line by it's self and is not followed by a second single quote... IE: '' would not trigger the replacement.
When i create a band new WPF project without changing any code whatsoever does this on resize. It stays this way if i minimize or drag across monitors. Is this supposed to happen? It does this with all of my WPF applications so i set ResizeMode="CanMinimize" .
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If Textbox1.Text.StartsWith(a.Text & (" ")) = True And String.IsNullOrEmpty(a.Text) = False Then Textbox1.Text = encryption.Text.Remove(0, a.TextLength) phrase.AppendText("a")
[code]....
I want this part of my project to detect spaces because it can happen if the user puts in a certain value for on and that value begins with another it will not process. (ex. a.text = 123, b.text = 1234, then i get the outcome or "aa" and it should be "ab"
I want to be able to find both spaces using the indexof method. Here's my code so far. Basically the program will turn the string "Will Smith" to "Smith, Will" But I noticed when I type in a name with a middle initial or middle name "Will J Smith" I would get "J Smith, Will" And I want to be able to find that second space when its there and apply a code that would produce "Smith, Will J" When there is a second space. How would I go about doing so?
I'm using Visual Basic 11 (VS 11 Beta). I am having trouble finding, anywhere, how to delete all the spaces in a text box. Here let me give you an example: The user can load in a text file, that is fine. There is a button and when the user clicks it I want every single space in the file to be removed.
Is there a way to take an integer, say 10, and convert that to 10 spaces? What I've got is a text field that the users enters a number. I then need to convert that number into spaces and insert those spaces into a string of text. I've found several places to convert text to an integer but not the other way around.
I played a bit with the OpenFileDialog Control and I've noticed that I can't open correctly files that has space in their names.In my case i tried to open and play an mp3 file.
lets say I had a string variable that contained "Hello World!", (or whatever the string contained) how would i remove the the right most spaces to make it say "Hello World" (im reading in items from a text file using substrings that has fixed positions with one line of the text containing several different items) or does it automatically eliminate the right most spaces???
In my program, I get an rtf file (which I load through a Rich-TextBox), and need to format it a bit: I need to remove certain spaces, from certain lines.
In VB.Net, how do I provide the StreamWriter constructor with a path that includes spaces? StreamWriter("""C:UsersPublicPublic Usersfile.txt""") does not work.
I have some HUGE text files (easily around 2000+ lines) I need to clean where some of the formatting is like this:
CODE:
Of course there are more than 2 words in the lines, but what I said was just an example. I have to clean these files and I just want to know how to delete the whole line after the spaces (including the gibberish), but I don't want to delete the spaces in between the words that need to stay.
I was thinking I could test for 2 or more spaces and if that's true then delete the rest of the line beginning at the first space. The only issue is there are tabs sometimes between the words and I don't want to mess with those right now. (I have no clue how to make source that deletes spaces but not tabs... Perhaps you can single out tabs?)
Because of the formatting to make the text files look "cleaner" there are sometimes 5 (least) - 8 spaces (max) between each some words. So should I check for 9 spaces? (1 more than 8). There seriously are huge amounts of spaces between the words and the gibberish.
I'll worry about formatting the text and what not later, right now I'm only asking for help with the spaces and gibberish issue .
I'm usually a C++ man, not used to VB.NET (2005) but I will only be using this project for cleaning these files and the dialogs are much easier to make than MFC for C++. So I figured this would be much faster and easier (except I have very little experience with VB.NET)
I've made a little map-maker for my tile game, which just stores a single digit for each tile. The problem I've noticed, is that when I save a digit, it tags a space on the end of it, so that when I read the file I have to read every 2nd character.... plus ofc it makes the file twice as large. Is there a way to trim the space from my digit when I save it to a text file?
how do I validate that only letters and spaces have been entered into a text box.
Here is a sample of my
Private Sub btnWrite_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnWrite.Click, mnuWrite.Click If Not txtName.Text Like "[a-z][A-Z]" Then MessageBox.Show("Please enter your name using letters and spaces", "Error") txtName.SelectAll()
I'm trying to access a registry key that has a space in it, specifically:
SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionWindowsU pdateAuto Update The key is valid and I believe the code is, though I can't get any keys with spaces to open using Registry.OpenSubKey
The following code fails only for keys with spaces: subkey = New String("SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion WindowsUpdateAuto Update")
m_hive = m_hive.OpenSubKey(subkey, False) Dim val As Object = m_hive.GetValue(key)
I made the labels red so you can see them. I used a picture of a little mug as bullet, aligned top-left. The label text normaly begins at the far left of the label, but with a bit of coding I solved that problem. I did not want to add extra spaces to the text directly for keeping the data base small. The problem however is when the label has 2 or more lines of text the text don't line up nicely with the top line, once again I no not want to save the extra spaces to the data base.
Here is the picture and the code used.
CheckLabel.DataBindings.Add("text", Hoof_GeregteBindingSource, ("Inhoud" & (Inhoud_Label_Counter).ToString)) Dim MyVar As String = CheckLabel.Text MyVar = MyVar.Substring(MyVar.IndexOf("#") + 1) Select Case CheckLabel.Text.Substring(0, 1)
