View 3 RepliesOk this is annoying me because i know this code, but the code has left my brain. I simply need get text from a .txt from the web. Basically easiest way to explain would be so you can Change a title from the web. By making label1 the text file words. So Label1 = thewebsite.filename.txt I have done this before i have just forgotten the code. I know the code is only a couple lines. like 1 or 2, which makes me feel silly i cant remember.

I have some code that is supposed to automate a textbox on a webpage. The problem is, it only works half of the time. The text either displays or does not display. I added the internet controls as a reference but the HTML object library would not get added. Everytime i would go to do this, it would freeze.I also tried doing it two ways. The way that is commented out, always produced a null error. If i change the website to google.com, it works perfect everytime.[code]

What I am doing is creating a simple login and register system. I am going to save the information of each user into a text or ".dat" format and have them placed into a folder called "accounts".The small problem that I have is the "Forgot Password" option. I can't think of how to search all the documents for the e-mail or the username.So basically I need to know if it is possible to do a small search for the e-mail through all the documents in the "accounts" folder.
-I know another option may be databases...but I don't completely know how to use these.
-I have general knowledge of arrays
we have our system running but our system needs to be modified because we did something wrong...we are doing an "Internet monitoring System" in our school library where the user can only access the internet 1hr a day, and he/she cannot use the internet within that day if he couldn't buy a time on a serve...every students should only have 20hrs time usage per semester...our problem is every day their 20hrs is being reduced in 1hr.. the rule is the time per semester which is 20hrs that is given to the students was reduced 1hr only if he uses the internet..but our system is reducing their 1hr every day.
View 1 RepliesI'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?

So it would turn into:

2. Is there anyway to make the textbox 'read only'? The textbox is populated by application itself, with some logs.. The only reason I chose textbox was because, I can't select an item and copy it from label..
Also, can a textbox include formatting, such as making some text bold, underlined etc?..
