richTextBox access from a function

I have a button on a form that calls a function. The function does some stuff
and then I want it to write the results to a richTextBox. The problem is the
code;

richTextBox1.Te xt += "Results";

Gives me the error, 'Form1.righText Box1' denotes a field where a class was
expected.

How do I reference the richTextBox from the function?

hi Dave
the line MyForm.MyRichTe xtBox.Text += " more text " ; is no problem with
and should work fine. So , there must be something else causing the
problem and that you need to be looking for. If you still have the problem
would you please post larger snippet of your code may be that would help
figure the problem.

I found the problem, I had declared my function as static.

public static void SendRequest( )

it should have been,

public void SendRequest()

That fixed it.

Hi all, I want to hilight some syntax keywords. While parsing text, I used these properties such as SelectionStart,SelectionLength and SelectionColor of RichTextBox. Although the syntaxhilghting effect was reached, I found original undo/redo function didn't work!! Any ideas? Thanks,

Using the 1.1 framework. We are using a newly created instance of a RichTextBox Class in our server code to manipulate RTF that is stored in the database.

I searched high and low for an answer on how to auto scroll a richtextbox and now I finally have it. Since it took me a while to get a good efficient way of doing it that didn't require focus to the control or the scrolltocaret method I decided that it would be worth posting to anyone who might have similar concerns. For the record this works well in an environment where you cannot have focus going to the richtextbox....such as a chat...

This took way to long to figure out - now that I have it working I thought I would share with the group. I've seen tons of posts with very little good answers on this seemingly simple thing that took me 2 hours to figure out! You can set tabs through RichTextBox using the cheesy SelectAll()-> SelectionTabs() method, but that only works after the text has been entered. If the user hits Enter on any line, it goes back and uses the...

The documentation for the RichTextBox is sketchy at best. I want to do a very simple task but I cannot find information on this. I am using a RichTextBox as an output window. Some text I want to just add plain (e.g.. rtf.Text += "new stuff..."; ) but some text, when added, I want to be in a different color or font size. Find() will not work because the text will vary. I have delimiters on it so I could recognize it with a regular ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
