Why Is Textbox String Changing Lengths
Feb 26, 2012
I am working on a project that I scroll from one screen to another.
A particular string I have 2 variables that can be changed. If I stay on this screen I can change either variable just as I need
however when I change to another screen then return my string is 1 digit longer and when I wish to edit this string my program fails because the string isn't the expected length.
A portion of my program follows....The Y6 is just a counter. The MA is a conditional control.
ElseIf _
Y6 = 4 _
And MA = True _
[Code]....
Delete 0-27 then determine whats there "NC" or "NO" and simply change it. But again when I leave this particular screen and return my text length is no longer 29 charactors long, it is now 30 charactors.

I think this will be better than what I was thinking before.
How can I allow multiple lengths to a textbox.Allow multiple lengths on a textbox?
something like
if Not TextBox1.TextLength = 8 Or 11 Or 14 Or 18 Then msgbox("error")

I have a string which can be of any length. I want to loop tthrough this string and if there 53 characters assign that to Variable1, then loop round again and assign the next 53 characters or less to variable2 etc etc until the end of the string. Ideally I would not want to split words - but that is another problem.....

I have a project im working on and im trying to change the font color of a specific string basically how vb does while your coding. (eg if i type dim it turns blue).I want to do this with a textbox in a vb application to show a topic of interest. It needs to be dynamic so when a user types it only changes the color of the specified string. I have tried
If TextBox2.Text.Contains("dim") Then
TextBox2.ForeColor = Color.Red
End If
but this changes all the text in the textbox to the color.

Can a substring have mutiple arguments? I am pulling a substring from a drop down list into my database for records, the string is between 6 and 8 numbers, is it possible to pass more than one argument to make this work?
Sample data:

1234567 | Name

Forgive me but i have a noob question, I cant seem to get my head around.I have a textbox.text string as "111.1, 22.2, 3333.3, 444.44" What I want to is extract the numbers which may be random lengths, but all separated by a comma to
dim i1st number as Integer
dim i2nd number as Integer
dim i3rd number as Integer
dim i4th number as Integer
I know how to search for one instance of a string in a string but taking the 1st part to the comma, then the next comma and so on is confusing me.

I'm working on a Pythagorean Theorem program that calculates the sides and angles of a right triangle. I have the side measurements and all that down, but I can't find the Visual Basic function that will allow me to calculate the angles from the side measurements. I've tried asin and sinh, but both give me the wrong measure.

I have an array of strings such as "blue", "green", "red" and I wish to sort them so the longest string comes first and the shortest last.
Currently I am creating another array with the lengths of each string in the array in the same index positions and using this array as the key array to sort by as can be seen below, but I think this could be optimised into one line perhaps?
Dim colours() As string = {"blue", "green", "red"}
Dim colourslength() As Integer
For i As Integer = 0 To colours.Length - 1
[Code].....
Edit: just realised I defined colours as a list in the example code, it's an array in my actual code.

Is there any way to create a multidinensional array that contains arrays of different lengths (similar to nesting arrays of different lengths in python).
Because if I were to declare a variable Dim accounts(2,2) As Integer all 1D arrays at each dimension have the same length. Is there any way to create an array so that this is not the case?
e.g The above code would create an array like this:
[[0,0],[0,0]]
but would it be possible to create this:
[[0,0],[0,0,0]]

I am working on a program that opens a .txt file, finds the length of each line in the file, and then outputs the minimum and maximum lengths. For example, assuming this is the .txt file I am opening:
2789304
293048203
27598493
[code].....
I would like to return something like this:
Minimum length: 6
Maximum length: 9
I cannot use arrays for this assignment. I figured out how to get the maximum length but cannot figure out how to get the minimum. Am I going about this the right way or is there an easier way to do this? Here is what I have thus far:
Dim FileName As String
Dim FileReader As StreamReader
Dim FileLine As String
[code].....

For a school program, I was assigned to use a .dat file to store and edit information while using VB to be it's front end( to appear in a listbox). I was also given what field length to use per field. I never worked with .dat files, so I have a few questions (all the google-ing Ive done say the same thing: every .dat file is different so you can't play around with them):

Examples in VB.net or C#.Net (4.0) would be helpfull.
arraylist1.count
arraylist2.count
arraylist3.count
arraylist4.count
arraylist5.count
arraylist6.count
DIM longest As integer = the longest arraylist should be stored in this variable.

Im having trouble changing the value of a textbox to integer. I want the user to enter a start number in the textbox, then when the user presses the button +1 that number is incremented by one.
This is what I have and it does not work Dim TestNumber1 As Integer TestNumber1 = Integer.Parse(TestNumber.Text) TestNumber1 = TestNumber +1
does anybody know of any good Visual studio 2008 books to help me with code. I used to dabble in QBASIC and finding the changover quite difficult.

I'm developing a program at the moment and I'm trying to add the capability to add a texbox everytime you click a button. This is simple other than I'm trying to be efficiant as possible, so I made a sub that creates the textbox and the button calls the sub. Here is where it gets tricky I want the new textbox to move just below the previouse textbox, I'm not sure how to do this since Im only really createing one textbox over and over and having a variable name it by one. This souds confusing I know, but check out my code and it will make since. Really all I'm trying to do is change the location of a unknown textbox say since I create a textbox name textbox0 then when I hit the button again my varibale goes up by 1 which makes the new textbox, textbox1. how to I tell VB to change textbox1's location....
Code:
Public
Class
frmExpenses
'I made everything public because I'm runnings a test timer which are sending realtime data to some labels
Public i
As
Integer

I am working on a a program that uses a textbox to display data from a telescope. Normally the data is standard ASCII characters, but there is one time when the data is displayed as blocks to indicate the number of degrees to go. The textbox font is set to Sans Serif in the property box. When I show the blocks, I want to switch to Wingdings. I have searched how to change the textbox font and tried several ways found, but none of them work. I know that the textbox will handle Wingdings - I can set the font property and it displays correctly.
The most common method I have seen is: txtDisplay1.Font = New Font("Wingdings",26.0, FontStyle.Regular) ,but like all the other methods tried, the font never changes.

I am new to Visual Basic 2010, but I have been trying to make a line reader with an imported text document into a RichTextBox through an internet source.
I want the RichTextBox's line zero (the first line) to really be line one, but without changing the text in the TextBox to show the change. In other words, I want that change to happen in the background of the program.
I have tried... taking the text from one TextBox and putting it into another, while subtracting an integer value of onean attempt to use a timer to copy the text from one TextBox to another to read the line properly.
I have tried a couple of other things too, but most of them were much more complicated and I could not really explain what each thing did.[code]...

My client wanted to have a textbox in the Customer form of the application, which offers the applicable endings to a started street name. He starts to type a street name and the textbox offers a list of streets which start with the char sequence he typed into the textbox. Textboxes have the AutoCompleteCustomSource property and even though a list of common street names will be longer than it could be pre-filled on start, I could just hit a database with a query, populate an AutoCompleteStringCollection and show that to the user.
Now here's the thing: If I make the list populate on every keypress/keydown whatever, the program crashes and throws an AccessViolationException. I've found out that that's because: The control is in the middle of showing the AutoComplete list when at the same time it is being modified, resulting in the crash. When you refresh the Autocomplete List, the control is recreated with new pointers. Keyboard and mouse events (KeyPress, MouseOver, MouseLeave, MouseHover) attempt to reference the old control's pointers which are now invalid in memory causing a memory access violation to occur.
The underlying AutoComplete implementation does not allow for changing the AutoComplete candidate list object once it has been set on a window. To allow changing the list, WinForms destroys the Edit control or ComboBox and recreates it. This causes an exception if the underlying control is destroyed while the AutoComplete window is still use it. I read about this on MSDN, their resolution: Do not modify the AutoComplete candidate list dynamically during key events. I know that you can do this by creating a custom control and such, but can it be done with just pure coding wizardry?

how to validate and save the results of a textbox when I change to another tab on a tabcontrol?I have found the SelectedIndexChanged and LostFocus but they do not tell what was the tab that has been previously selected, so I then can do that validation and save. is there an event that triggers before the SelectedIndexChanged?
