Textbox: Place The Cursor At The Beginning Of A Text Selection
Sep 30, 2011
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 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 am creating a Map Rotation Randomizer for my Call of Duty clan, and I am having an issue with understanding how to randomize the text from the list and placing it into another textbox.
Here's what it looks like right now:
All textboxes are multi-line.
When I click a button for a game (CoD4, MW2, WaW), it places the map list into the left textbox like:
mp_bloc
mp_broadcast
mp_crossfire
etc.
When I click the button with ">>>", I want it to randomize that list and place it into the right textbox like:
map mp_bloc map mp_broadcast map mp_crossfire
Or if I click it again:
map mp_crossfire map mp_bloc map mp_broadcast
And so on. I think I need to create an array, but I've never worked with those before as I'm still new to learning programming. I'm not even sure what controls I need to put on the form for that, if it even requires any.

I'm trying to make it so that that user can enter predefined text by a button event (which will save them time typing). For example, they're writing a note in a textbox and then they click a 'Name" button which enters the name of the person into the text box at the place of the cursor, which will cut down on errors caused by typos.
So I need something like:
Button_click event()
textbox.AddAtCursor(person.name)
end sub

I am trying to work out how I can insert the string "End" into my textbox at a specific cursor point?
(where the '???' is in the code below)As you can see by the code below this will happen when the user clicks return on the keyboard within the textbox.
I have the code to get the cursor index which is being stored as integer 'intcurrentcolumn'. Private Sub Enter_Click(ByVal Sender As System.Object, ByVal k As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)

I am working in VB 2008 and I have a textbox on a form that is used to enter a parcel number. I can enter the number in a 15 character string such as 12345678...... and it works just fine. The parcel number in real life contains dashes to make it easier to read, decipher, etc. so it looks like 12-3-45-67....... Under the textchanged subroutine for the textbox I have a case statement set up that checks the length of the parcel number as it is entered and inserts the dash accordingly.

I have a completely basic program here that I want to simply take text from a textbox and the selection from a combobox, and then run the following:
CODE:
Obviously WKID and PROCESS are the variables it will be pulling from the data that was put in by the user. That code was just in a simple batch file that I made with 2 variables. I am wanting to pull those 2 variables in when clicking the "kill process" button, it will run a command simliar to the above and end a process on a remote networked computer.

In our application, the customer can work with different client projects/datasets. If there are more than a few client projects to choose from, we display them in a listbox to start with, and then it is easy to preselect the last dataset that the customer was working with. However, if there are only a few client projects, we show them as options in a menu instead (think "recent documents"). When the application starts, I would like the menu to be opened automatically and the most recently used client project selected. Is there a way to open the main menu and a submenu of a form and select/focus (but not actually click) an item programmatically?
The old way that we were doing this in VB6 was to use SendKeys to send keystrokes to the form to open the menu and then arrow-down far enough to get to the most recent project, but that is kind of unclean. Particularly, if the user starts our application and then tabs away quickly to work in a different application, the keystrokes may end up being processed by that application instead.

I have a wrapper class created around TextBox, and I want to find out if there is any way to test if the vertical scroll bar is at the beginning (the very top) of the text box and at the very end of the text box.Alternatively, I will be happy if only I can find out a way to check if a scroll bar is enabled or not in a textbox (note: it's not a RichTextbox).
By enabled, I mean that scroll bar is actually enabled i.e. you can use the scroll bar to scroll the control, not just visible (I know we can check visibility by GetWindowLong)

I have a listbox where each line contains a short 3-4 character model number followed by a tab and then the product name the model number corresponds to. I also have a textbox which I am using to search the listbox.
The code I am using so far works somewhat, just not exactly how I would like. If I enter search text it will highlight the results in the listbox but only for the first characters, is there anyway to search the text of an entire line (index) of a listbox?
Right now I am using the following:
Private Sub txtSearch_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtSearch.TextChanged
ListBox.SelectedIndex = ListBox.FindString(txtSearch.Text)
End Sub

I have a masked text box for postal codes. When the user clicks the text box it sets the cursor to where ever they clicked in the text box. Is there anyway that if the value is empty it sets the focus to the beginning.
Private Sub Cust_postalTextBox_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Cust_postalTextBox.Click
Try
[Code].....
Is the code I have that works but What would the IF statement be to check if it is empty? String.empty and "" don't work because I think it sees the mask as characters.
