View 3 RepliesForms :: RichTextBox - Search Feature And Match Case
Mar 28, 2011Here's the situation: I've got a form that has
- RichTextBox
- OpenButton (to load RTF file)
- SaveButton (to save RTF file after editing)
- Textbox (for search phrase)
- SearchButton
- ExitButton
- 2 RadioButtons (WholeWord and MatchCase search)
All of them are working just the way I want them to except search features; I don't know how to write them properly. At the moment, they search and highlight only the first word they encounter. E.g. say I search for word "the" in the document, only the first "the" it encounters is highlighted. The rest is just untouched.
I understand this is because I've only got few lines of simple code as follows
If rtfText.Find(txtSearch.Text, RichTextBoxFinds.WholeWord) = -1 Then
MessageBox.Show("No results returned. Please try again.", "No matching results.", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
End If
I did try a few other snippets I found on the Internet including While loop but they didn't work as I wanted them to, and I couldn't understand them either. What I want is, which ever search option is used, when the matching result is found; it will highlight that word and when I click it again it will move onto another word. If I keep clicking, it will highlight the same words (but located in different areas) throughout the whole document and at the end, it will send back to the first matching word. Just like Adobe Reader search.

View 1 RepliesCannot Seem To Find A Caret Position Changed Event On The Normal Richtextbox Control?
Oct 19, 2009even Word Pad, when you scroll your Caret (the I-beam for browsing through text) through the text, in the font combobox, the font of the text you are browsing through will be displayed, and when you scroll your caret through a different font, the font will be changed. If you're confused, look at attatched picture.
I cannot seem to find a caret position changed event on the normal richtextbox control - and if anyone can show me a custom component with this it would help me a huge amount.So my basic question is how can i replicate the formentioned function in my own VB.NET program.No code is necessary just constructive suggestions, or links to other projects would be welcome. You don't need to quote the forum rules

.net - "Find Next" Functionality In RichTextBox: Include "Match Case"
May 20, 2011I have very complicated, unnecessary code because I wrote it myself and this is a new concept to me. The code is intended to find a string in the main window's RichTextBox (the string is obviously supplied by the user). The code works fine, but due to its convoluted nature, I don't know how to implement a "Match case" function.
The form has these controls (at least the ones you use when searching for text):
Textbox: "txtFind" - User enters a search term here
Checkbox: "chkMatchCase" - Allows a user to choose whether or not to match the case of the search term
Button: "btnFind" - The Find Next button
And this is my code
Dim index As Integer = 0
Private Sub OK_Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnFind.Click
Dim strSearchTerm As String
[Code].....
Anyway, if there's a better way to implement this, please let me know. And I did extensive searching, but found no good solution. I ended up combining a bunch of little parts of other tutorials into this. If there's no better solution, I'd just like to know how to implement a "Match case" function.
