RichTextBox and Mouse Cursor Issues.

Lou
Dear all,

I have two questions and need to get some hints from u. :0)

1. Editor with the syntax functionality.

In my ongoing editor, when the user types the word, e.g. "ABC", the
word "ABC" will appear in the RichTextBox with the changed color red.
Afterwards, when the furhter action is taking on, e.g. user gives the
input directly in the RichTextBox or types the other word, the color
will be back to default one, black.

I made some basic implementations . E.g. add one richTextBox TextChanged
event, and change it color afterwards. However, all the text in
richTextBox will be changed, not as I wish. E.g. some specific ones
will be changed, whilst the rest will be in the default color.

2. Mouse cursor.

I designed one key with the del functionality. However, everytime I use
the key, the cursor always stay in the front of the text, not in the
end of the text. How shall I accomplisht the task that the mouse cursor
will be in the back of the text when I wanna del the text in the
richTextBox.

Hopefully, I specify the issues clearly.

It is welcome to give me any feedback,

Thanks in advance,

Cordially,

Lou.

Using VB6. With a RichTextbox, I can get the position of the character under the mouse pointer with an API call like: SendMessage(hWnd, EM_CHARFROMPOS, 0&, Pointl) by passing the mouse x,y co-ordinates in the Pointl structure. But does anyone know a way to get the *attributes* of the character (Bold, Underline, etc) WITHOUT affecting the textbox in any way? Any method that requires the character to be the selected text (like

I have set onmousedown to change the cursor, but this setting is ignored (IE 5.5; NN 6.1 on Win 2K Pro) until the mouse is either moved or the mouse button is released. On Opera 7.01, the setting seems to be ignored completely, even when I try with window.setTimeout. So my two questions are: (1) Most important: Is there anything I can do so that I don't have to wait for the next mouse event before the cursor gets repainted. (2) Why...

I have created a form designer type application (with a lot of you peoples helpJ). It has label controls that are draggable at runtime. The user is also allowed to change some properties such as forecolor, backcolor and font. The labels also are rotatable and the text can also be flipped 180 degrees (the flipped text part is still being worked on). I have one context menu for all 30 labels that allows for the property changes to the labels....

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...

I have the opportunity to rescue a project that uses a mouse to sense the relative position of a machine. The hardware is built...just needs to be programmed. Stop snickering!!! I didn't do it...I just gotta fix it. I need to make some calculations on the measurements and VB6 is my language. Yes, the system mouse will corrupt the measurement, but it's an auditing function and that's acceptable.

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,...
