I'm making a text editor. I found that control-i automatically adds some sort of space block into the textbox by default; like how control-z undoes even if I don't code. I want to use control-i for making italics text; but the spaces are interfereing. It's one big block of spaces.

I've created a control class that inherits a Panel control. This control then contains two other panels, one of which I would like to be an IContainerControl.I know how to turn the entire control into a IContainerControl but have been unable to do the same to a child control. I've tried in both C# and VB.Net and failed with both.
Does that make sense? I tried searching but didn't find anything that helped, hopefully someone here can get me on my way
I am trying to write a program to control the speed of all my fan's (GPU,CPU, Case fans) I have my form set up now I just need to code it. I have a button that when used will detect the different fans and fill txt boxes with information for each fan but when I started looking for info on how to do this I found a lot of posts saying its not possible with Visual Basic. Is it possible or isn't it? Where would I find the info that would show me how to do this?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a user control for information received from a database but i get:The class WFUserControl can be designed, but is not the first class in the file. Visual Studio requires that designers use the first class in the file. Move the class code so that it is the first class in the file and try loading the designer again.
Do i make the user control directly and add the code? Because thats what i did.. Or are there steps to do first before creating it?
I am experimenting with CUSTOM CONTROLS for the very first time. What I did so far: I've created a new Windows Control Library project. In there I simply resized the custom control area (made it very wide and only 50 high). I added a pictureBox on the very left, a Label1 with Large text on the right and 2 other labels underneath Label1 on the left and right.Further I've set MOUSE HOVER effects, "Yellow" for MoudeEnter and "White" for MouseLeave.
In a Windows Form application I add this control over and over again into a Panel1 (DockStyle TOP) for each jpg file found in "My Pictures". The PictureBox in My custom control has the Thumbnail of the real picture, the Label1 shows the name of the file.
All this worked out better than I expected for my very first CUSTOM CONTROL, however, there is still 1 thing I would like it to do: being 'selected' when I click on one of the CUSTOM CONTROLS in my Panel1. Does anyone know how to do that? If I set a BackGroundColor change on MouseClick in my custom control, then it surely would change the color, however, it would stay that way even if I click on the next custom control in my Panel1 .(Listing SPEC's is not a review !

I downloaded this code from the web that Wierddemon gave me in my previous thread. This solution contains 2 projects (CurrencyControlTest and CurrencyTextBox) There are some things that I don't understand:
1. What's the type of form1.vb and program.vb in the CurrencyControlTest Project? Are they classes, or windows Forms or module?
2. This is the code in Program.vb
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic
[CODE]...
What's the effect of <STAThread> code?
3. What is exactly the "Namespace" doing in this code? because when I removed the namespace, An error indicating that Form1 is not declared appeared. What is namespace? what does it do? Can anyone give sample code to emphasize the function and how and when to use the keyword "Namespace"?
4. This is code for Form1 in CurrencyControlTest Project
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic

i'am having trouble in making a spell checker for vb.net richtextbox control.I have made a form with richtextbox control and a panel control. I have put a listbox control in the panel control and filled with certain words. What iam able to do is whenever i select a word and click a button the panel appears just below the word (using get position from char) and display the choice. What iam not able to do is:
1) Select each word one-by-one whenever i click a button say F1 - I know keypress event but how do i select the words through keypress. I know they are separated by spaces but iam not familiar as to how to take advantage of it. The major problem being that there can be 2-3 words together sometimes colored as red. Eg: What i want is when i press F1 first time "this" is selected, next time "is" is selected and next time "nice car color" is selected. The two things are spaces and red color but i don't get anything from it.
2) Display the panel correctly within the main form's border. Right now when i select the last word of the sentence some part of panel disappears as it hides behind the main form. Eg - only 1/4th appears and rest hides. I can't find a way to limit it from moving when it has reached the main form size. I want to constrain it between top-bottom and left-right border of main form.
Is this only done in VB by making a custom control?

I want a context menu strip to have 4 specific items. For testing purposes, we call them Item1, Item2, Item3, and Item4.I've set up a context menu strip like this, and I am using it for about 20 different controls. I want these four items to do different things based on what control the user right clicks. The only way I could think of doing this, was to make 20 context menu strips and create a click event for each item. This obviously, seems like a really bad way of doing it.Does anyone have any suggestions or another way of making the click events for the individual Items based on what control is right clicked?

I am having trouble making a function that reorders the text put into a textbox. I then have to get that reordered data and put it into a list box.
Basically, 2 words separated by a comma are entered into a text box (say Wash, Car is put into the text box), then I need to get a function that reorders that string and be able to put in into a listbox that shows Car Wash. So it gets the word after the comma first, then gets the word before the comma. It should do this with every string.
Need to use a function for this.
Right now I really just have
Dim Word As String
Word = textbox1.text
'Then the function to reorder the name and return the reordered name will go right here
What this is suppose to do?
- Example, some puts Wash, Car into textbox 1. List Box 1 will display Wash Car.
- Basic, Visual in textbox1, list box 1 will display Visual basic
