I have a richtextbox, when I leave it for example to go to another panel where I want to manipulate the selected text I can no longer see the selected text. Is there a way to make it still show the highlight?
View 1 RepliesI'm using a TabStrip control in my VB6 app (mscomctl.ocx).(Annotation: to use the TabStrip control add the component: Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0(SP6) )When hightlighting e.g. the 2nd tab ...
TabStrip1.Tabs(2).HighLighted = True
and removing the tab's caption
TabStrip1.Tabs(2).Caption= ""
.. tab2 loses its hightlight !!
To prevent tab losing focus I fixed it with the following code:
For Each e In TabStrip1.Tabs
If e.HighLighted = True Then
e.HighLighted = True
End If
Next
Is it a known bug? Here is my vb6 sample project showing how the tab loses the highlight if the tab's caption is removed.
I have a form which contains a progressbar and a Listbox which update as the code runs through and performs some sometimes time-consuming calculations.
At one point in the code, it breaks to ask the user to enter a number using :
Usedefault = MsgBox("Do you want to use the default value of " & Default_No & "?", vbYesNo)
If Usedefault = vbNo Then
[Code].....
this works fine but I find that once the data entry is complete, and the code continues to run, the form loses focus and the progressbar and the Listbox updates cannot be seen until the code finished its calculations.
I have a form with a "print" toolstrip button. When I click that button I run the code shown below. The print dialog box appears. The title is dark blue seeming to indicate it has focus. The main form is lighter blue indicating it does not have focus. But hovering over the "Print" button (or the cancel button) does not cause it to change color. If you click on the print button, then the color changes and the second click causes the appropriate action. Same with the cancel button. If you click on the dialog label or on the main form the only thing that happens is the print button will then become "active" and a click there then works. If you click on the main form once, nothing happens, but if you click on it a second time you get the "bonk" sound indicating you ae clicking on the wron modal. As if this isn't strange enough, this action just started recently. I made a few unrelated (as far as I can tell) changes, and discovered this action.[code]....

I have my form set up to be able to be kept on top if the user so chooses. When it is set to be kept on top, I want the opacity to be reduced when the form loses focus. When I set opacity on init, it works fine. When I use this code, it doesn't work:
Private Sub Form1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.LostFocus
Me.Opacity = 0.2

Maybe I misunderstand how LostFocus and GotFocus work, but according to MSDN this appeared to be what I wanted.

In VB.Net, is it possible to highlight ALL instances of a phrase instead of only a single instance of it, for example: txtView.SelectionStart = txtView.Find("ERROR: Invalid command entered.") txtView.SelectionColor = Color.Red This would highlight "ERROR: Invalid command entered.", however if my RichTextBox text is: ERROR: Invalid command entered. < Only this line will highlight ERROR: Invalid command entered. ERROR: Invalid command entered. Alternatively, is there a way I can simply colour the line when I write it to the RichTextBox?

View 9 RepliesMost of my experience in Visual Basic programming is in VBA. I'm currently trying to build a VB.NET Windows application that basically consists of a form that has one button and one label. When the button is clicked, the label should serve as a "counter" that counts from 0 to infinity until the user closes the window with the "x" button. I do this by putting a loop with a sleep statement in the onclick sub. The loop iterates the integer that is displayed in the label and does a "Me.Refresh".The problem is when the window loses focus. When it loses focus (when I click off of it), the counter stops. Even when I click back on it, the counter doesn't resume.
