Textbox Carriage Return

dancer

Using ASP.Net and VB.net

I have textboxes (<asp:textbox id......>) in which the user will be entering
paragraphs.
They are multiline (several rows and several columns).
The carriage returns that the user puts in (return/enter key) do not show up
when the data is retrieved. It is one long line.
Is there any way to make the user's paragraph divisions show up in the
report?

Keep in mind, the text they are typing is plain ASCII text. It includes
line-breaks but they're ASCII text linebreaks. That means when you retrieve
them and display them in a web page it's meaningless because they aren't
HTML line breaks. You just need to do a Replace() on the text string and
replace the carriage return linefeed with a <br /element. I believe in
VB.Net this is a vbCrLf for both a carriage return and linefeed. Pass this
to the replace as Replace(vbCrLf, "<br />")

Weird TextBox behaviour

by: fd123456 | last post by:

The TextBoxes in ASP have a weird behaviour when it comes to handling carriage returns. You can try this : Create a Webform. On it, place a textbox, set it's TextMode property to MultiLine. Place a button. Double-click on the button and in it's event handler, just type : TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text ;

defining on which line the cursor is in a textbox

by: DraguVaso | last post by:

Hi, For my application I need the following behavior: When I press F4 the cursor has to move to the next line in my multiline textbox which begins with "0". Finding lines starting with 0 isn't that difficult, but to find the next line is more difficult. For exemple: if my cursor is on line 200, it has to start searching on line 201, and not on line 1. Anybody has any ideas?

Concatenating Rich Textbox Controls Into A Single File

by: Neil | last post by:

Using the MS Rich Textbox Control 6.0 in Access 2000, I need to concatenate several RTB controls into a single RTF file. Sometimes two strings will be side-by-side; other times they need to be separated by a hard return. For example, say I have the following 4 RTB controls in my form: RTB1 = "abcd" RTB2 = "efgh" RTB3 = "ijkl" RTB4 = "mnop"

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
