I have a rich text box which I use in order the user is able to add pictures, coloured writing, different font etc... however I need to load specific text in the rich text box when the user load the Form.how I can add (I guess) the HTML to load this every time the user load the form.
P.S the text will change depending on who loads the form so I can not do a simple
RichTextBox1.LoadFile("C:Documents and SettingsDesktopSigniture.rtf")
While displaying the .RTF file in rich text box control. It displays all the rtf formatting strings. how to display rich text in rich text box control.
Im designing a program that will read from various text files (preferably RTF files) and then put them into the RTF box in the program when a button is clicked.
Here is the portion of my code that i am referring to.
Try Dim fileText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:\" & selectedHero & ".rtf")
Catch MsgBox("Selected Hero currently has no File with us.") End Try
Now heres the problem. In the file i have a few pictures and its formatted and what not. I thought since its a RTF file and the Box is RTF it would auto format.... but anyways. It appears like this in the RTF Box.
I want a rich text box to display public variables like (pizza toppings links etc that have been selected in other forms) these variables have declare in a module. But I want the rich text box to display these variables as soon as the screen loads ( a on form load event) if you know what I mean.
Currently, there are 2 forms and on form1.vb, it has rich text box which i've successfully load the .rtf file and I would like to link it to form2.vb whenever I click on a button that link to form2.vb. how can i do that as i tried to use {RichTextBox1.LoadFile("filename.rtf")} and it doesnt work when i click on button that link to form2.vb.
I have a windows app in vb.net , i am trying to read a xml file from my server(url...).I am able to read abc.xml . now i have a requirement to show abc.xml in a rich text box in vb.net and then i have to show node and its value in combobox. I am able to do this with a directory(suppose that file is in C:/abc.xml)[code]...
I have over 4,000 xml files that needs to be converted in to a character based on a value and entered in to a rich text box. It will do this, until it runs out of files to read. I have tried "try" statements, "if" statements...
my knowledge of VB.net is limited and i'm really trying hard to figure this problem out...
what i did was create a list box and populate it with a directory ("C:Documents and Settingsuserfolder1")...
once the listbox displays the files from the directory, i want to select a certain file and that file will be opened up in a rich text box.What i found to display the directory in a listbox is:
Dim directory As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Documents and SettingsjtanDesktopRECV") Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = directory.GetFiles() Dim dra As IO.FileInfo Dim files As String
On the main form of my application, I have a Rich Text Box which is where the user will be entering information. The text is black. then, i have a button which calls the dialogue "Notes" A dialogue appears, with a rich text box. the user should then be able to enter text into the box, click "OK", and the text entered into the Notes dialogue be inserted to the rich text box on the main form -- with the font colour "Red". The rest of the text in the main rich text box on the main form should remain black.
I'm Making a Simple syntax highlighter and I'm Doing the highlighting in the text Changed event of a RTB and for obvious reasons I can't re highlight the whole document each time someone presses a key so i highlight one line each time the text changes. But this creates a Problem. If someone pastes code into the RichTextBox It only highlights the last Line. So is there a way to get if the user typed the text in with his keyboard or pasted it from the clipboard in the text Changed event?
everyone! I've been at this for a while, and I'm not sure how this issue can be resolved:I'm working on a project in VB.Net, and I have a form with a rich text box. I have a groupbox with 4 radio buttons inside that are intended to change the font color of the text. Coincidentally, I have to repeat this same functionality for a 2nd set of radio buttons that would change the text font family.
At any rate what I've only been able to do is the following to successfully change the font color of whatever text I highlight in the rich text box:
Private Sub rbtnBlack_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rbtnBlack.CheckedChanged rtbxTextEditor.SelectionColor = Color.Black End Sub Private Sub rbtnRed_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rbtnRed.CheckedChanged
[Code]...
Is there a way that I could write a sub (I'm assuming I would use a sub, since I don't think I need to return anything, thus eliminating the use of a function) that would handle the action of changing the selected text color in the rich text box without having to use a separate sub for each radio button? Mind you, per my teacher's specs, she doesn't use a button handler for any of this.
I will show 3 columns of text in rich text box. i want show the column border with color.i can separate the texts with tabs or spaces but showing data in columns and cells will improve the visual of my program .
Okay, so what I want to do is directly output formatted RTF text to a Rich Text Box control in VB.NET. I don't want to find the text, select it and color it as it is not practical for what I'm doing. I've tried outputting RTF code but that isn't working either. Can I actually do this or will I have to write a dll?
I am working on an applictation to scan windows files to check for missing files, i have a couple questions on how to do this.I would like to use the %systemroot%system32 that way that it doesn't matter what drive letter it is, i'm not sure how to do this because when i tried it, it told me the file i was looking for didn't exist (in this case C:windowssystem32 undll32.exe) which does exist. Is there some way to use the %systemroot%?
Also, i am trying to print the resaults to a rich text box such as if rundll32.exe is missing put in the box "rundll32.exe is missing". How do I allow it to write it in the box, I tried the print command, but it didn't work.
I've been wanting to create a look like the attached jpeg Ive been looking around for a few hours for a solution to make text boxes transparent or have a background image. I've found a few projects on this form and elsewhere which include transparent text boxes, but every time I try to use it the way I need to--with the text box over a picture box--there are always various rendering errors. Most of the time, the text box is transparent if its just placed on the form (not over any other controls). But when I place them over other controls (like picture boxes), the 'transparent background' always take on the color of the form background.
This is one that I was trying to use. I found a few others around, but they all had the same render errors more or less.[URL]...I figured transparency or background images would have been supported natively. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I missed something in my searches. I didn't really see anything which adds background images in text boxes (rich or otherwise). At this point, I'd just like anything that works, so it doesn't really need to have transparency--just a simple background image would be great.
I want to transfer data from one rich text box to another but when i use RichTextbox2.text = RichTextbox1.text it transfer just text not images.if there is any way to do so?
I have ~ 1 page how to that is currently in a text file which I want to add to a richtext box.I am just wondering if there is some way I can just copy/paste it so it keeps its formatting etc.
have more than one text color in the Rich Text Box, because when I highlight one word and use the color changer, it changes ALL of the words in the text box, and I want to know how to be able to have a specific word, or words, be a different color.
above code is working fine but when i retreive data from database in .rtf format & I try to protect some text then its not working in first time it works second time
what I am trying to do is create an effect in a richtextbox so when the user types any text surrounded by Brackets { } is coloured a different colour to the rest of the text say blue for example. How would I go about doing this?
I'm trying to make a program that can do some statistics on text in a rich text box. I'd like to count the number of instances where text appears with a certain back color, for example where text is "highlighted" with yellow.
There seems to be no function to get the backcolor of text at a specific index, you can only get the backcolor of text which is selected, like this:
Dim backColor As Color backColor = RichTextBox.SelectionBackColor
This means, by applying this nasty trick, I would have to manually select every character in the rich text box before I can find the backcolor:
For i = 0 To RichTextBox.Text.Length RichTextBox.Select(i, 1) If RichTextBox.SelectionBackColor = Color.Yellow Then yellows = yellows + 1 End If Next
However, this takes a very long time, because the program has to select and deselect every character.
What options are there to speed up the process? Disabling the paint event?
