Re: Accessing selected text within a richTextBox

TAB

All
I was wondering if someone could point me to a simple step-by-step C#
example of accessing selected text within a richTextBox... The
functionality
I'm looking for is ultimately the kind you get with a toolbar shortcut
(ie:
bold selected text) but I'm so new to .Net, I can't figure out how to
reference a selection of text within the richTextBox.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance. -
CES
Use richtextbox selection properties. Like richTextBox.Sel ectedText or
SelectedRtf if you would like to keep the rtf formatting,
SelectionColor, SelectionBackCo lor, SelectionFont and so on.

e.g. string str = richtextBox1.Se lectedText;

I think I'm close to making this work, but so far it does not. I have a datalist (id = "dlVFields") on a web form that has an item template with a textbox in it. The textbox id = "txtVerify". When the form is submitted via a button click (button is outside datalist) I loop through the datalist's DataListItem collection to retrieve any values entered into the textboxes. My problem is that I'm not getting anything back from the textboxes...

Hi I have a user control that contains a RichTextBox in vb.net. In my program, I create multiple instances of this control (with the RichTextBox being in each one), that appear one above the other on a panel. The problem is that each control may have varying amounts of data, and so each RichTextBox (within each control) needs to size to fit the amount of text within that RichTextBox. I've tried multiplying the size of a single line...

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 don't want to re-invent the wheel and am looking for a simple implementation of a text viewer or RichTextBox in read only mode that allows rapid file positioning within large data files without the time consuming and memory hogging associated with loading the entire file. Using the thumb to get close and then paging and scrolling to get exact placement within the file. Perhaps with only a few pages of data loaded into memory. I...

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