UI design for editing text

Dormilich

Hello,

does anyone know some good resources for an appropriate (modern) user interface, when it comes to editing a text block?

scenario: I have a couple of text blocks, where each is composed of several units (the main text, a label, a comment and some additional fields). when I want the user to edit that block, I want to present a form in an appealing way. just which design to choose?

PS. JavaScript will be enabled on the page.

Enterprise Manager wants to dial in to the Internet when I try to open up table design, and if I cancel the dial-in, the MMC window is simply blank -- no table design editing. This is rather miserable -- how do I fix this? (SQL Server 2000 client tools)

Access 2000 I have a text field named RoadName that contains the total road name, for example, "Johnson Road". I have another text field named StreetName that I would like to just contain the name portion of the RoadName, in this case, just "Johnson". Is there a way to either remove the Road portion from text strings in the RoadName field, so that I am just left with "Johnson"? Or

My code as an txt attachment. I have 2 drop down list boxes that on selection populate text boxes from my database table. I am able to display the correct values in these text boxes. I have 2 questions: 1) I would like the user update these text fields that get populated with data from the database. For some reason I get the error when I change the textbox value.

I am filling text boxes from a data reader. That works fine. If I edit a text box to a different value and click a save button the orginal value that was edited is being used in the SQL string. I verified this through debugging. Does anyone know of a reason why the original values are being perserved? The text boxes are not set to read only. Thanks.

What's easiest way to replace a particular text string in a text file by another and save the modified file? Currently I know how to open a file, read the text string, place it in a variable, and modify the string. What I'd like to know is how to save the modified string in the same file. The alternative that's I'm trying to avoid is to create a temporary auxiliary file in the process.

I want to delete the first line of a text file but it seems like a waste to read in the entire file into memory, remove the line, and then write it out again. Is there a way in VB.NET to delete the first line without reading in the entire file and recreating it?

Hi all-- In an attempt to commit an Access MDB to a versioning system (subversion), I'm trying to figure out how to convert a jet table's metadata to text, a la SaveAsText. The end goal is to be able to build an MDB completely from the svn repository text files. Has anybody dealt with this? Thanks in advance,

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,...
