Hello and thank you for reading this post.
I have a RichTextBox. I need to select text inside for a search feature.
Easy enough... right? Well apparently from the .NET help and everything from
the net, there is nothing describing how to do a top level select that I can
find (ie like how to select or highlight programitcally like a user
highlights text from any window).
Here is my code:
//////////////////////////////////////////
resultPrint.Tex t = "Found";
WordList_box.Se lectionBackColo r = Color.Red;
WordList_box.Se lectionStart = foundIndex;
WordList_box.Se lectionLength = CSWordList_find Box.Text.Length ;
//////////////////////////////////////////////
Thats fine, but the user cannot hit CTRL+C and copy that selection. I have
tried many variations but cannot figure out the right way.
Any ideas?
Thank you all,
Rob K

The RichTextBox class doesn't implement a user interface - that's up to you.
In your program, you can detect CTRL+C, and call the RichTextBox routine to
copy any selected text to the clipboard. RichTextBox also has routines for
paste, cut, undo, redo, and other things that you can connect to your UI as
appropriate.

Ahh... that makes sense... that would explain why you can select the text,
but never physically see the highlighting unless you customize the colors
manually. I will be monitoring keyboard strokes anyways, so CTRL C shouldn't
be too bad. Thank you for replying Brian!

I have a RichTextBox called rtbOutput.
I am adding lines of text using the AppendText method. What I want to do is
immediately after adding this line of text make sure that this line of text
is displayed, effictively scrolling to the last line of the text box all the
time.
Can anyone help as I cannot seem to find a way to do this.
Thanks

I have text files and I get binary offsets of text portion of these files
from VB6 program with RichTextBox. I use VB.Net 2003 and need to select and
highlight the text between given offsets. RichTextBox does not highlight the
correct string as it treats new line pair as one character. Is there a way to
highlight the correct string ? How do I translate real binary offsets to
richtextbox offsets ?

I am currently working to create a VB program that will do more detailed
in-file text search functions than windows has to offer. I have a form with a
RichTextBox control to display the text that has been found in the files. The
problem is that when a search has been found that is at the very start of the
file and the .select method is used to select just the first portion it ends
up selecting everything in the RichTextBox control...

Hi,
I use the RichTextBox in my program.
It will use different language in this RichTextBox (chinese and english
characters), and it set the "DualFont" and use different fonts.
By the way, how can I print out this content to printer easily?
Thanks!

Hello,
I'm trying to create a small text editor (to be included in another
project), and I've created two methods to toggle bold/italic/underlined
text styles, in order to have the same behaviour as WordPad has, ie :
if I select a text which has bold and non-bold parts, and click
"Italic", after that I have an italic-bold part and an italic-non-bold
one. This is not the case by default, and some programs I use don't
offer to do this.

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 ...

I have created a Control that extends RichTextBox to do syntax-hilighting. My
strategy is to have a timer that restarts every time a user types a key so
that it can wait until the user pauses for at least 500 milliseconds, then
perform its work. The hilighting simply goes through a list of keywords,
finding each instance in the RichTextBox, and selecting it in order to change
its color. I figured out how to remember where the cursor is and...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
