Hi group,
I have a form with a textbox control on it. I am using the textbox
control with multiline enabled to output the 'log' information for a
long process I am running. My problem is that it all works fine until
the limit of the size of text is reached for the text box. This causes
the textbox to stop update whilst the thread running the process
continues.
Any ideas how I can expand the functionality of the textbox to accept
larger amounts of data? I tried a richtextbox but it gives me the same
problem. Failing that, any ideas of a different control I could use
instead that comes with VB 2003?
I cannot use a listbox because I need the user to be able to highlight
sections of text or parts of text on one line and copy them to the
clipboard.
TIA

Which amount of data are you writing to the control? Note that the machine
only has a limited memory. In addition to that, make sure you use
'Control.Invoke Required', 'Control.Invoke '/'Control.BeginI nvoke' to update
the control from another thread instead of accessing it directly, which will
cause problems because instance members of Windows Forms controls are not
safe for multithreading.

It is not that much text, should not grow to more than 1 or 2 mb's of
pure text if it was saved as a text file in notepad, so memory should
not be a problem as far as I can tell. 2mb's is far greater than what
the Textbox or Richtextbox control can handle though. Any ideas?
p.s. I am using invoke to update the control already! thanks!

The textbox can easily handle that... unless you're running Win9x.

I am running Windows XP. The textbox just stops scrolling after a
while and no new information is added. I thought that the limit was
32k???

IIRC, 'AppendText' and 'SelectionStart ' are still limited to 32 KB.

That is preciesely what I am using. AppendText. Upon further testing,
it seems that RichTextBox it works OK (I guess when I originally tested
one I had an error in my code). The problem with a RTB is that it does
not scroll automatically. So, I use the ScrollToCaret method but it is
not very reliable.
I guess I'll have to work out some 'cheat' for scrolling the RTB.
Thanks.

If the .Enabled is set to False on the RTB, how could I scroll it??
Or, is there an alternative way of stopping the user from interacting
with the RTB but still have it scrolling? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I was getting the error: sqlcode: -911 sqlstate: 40001 , which is
"The maximum number of lock requests has been reached for the

So i increased the locklist size to 200 from the default value of 100.
I wanted to know what other effects it will have on the database?
Like, will the performance reduce, if the locklist size is 200 and 120
locks are on it as compared to when the locklist size is 130 and 120

Hi all,
I need to impose maximum and minimum numerical limits on a textbox.
I'd prefer not to code these in (since I have many textboxes and the
limits on each are different) and was wondering if there is any way to
do this within the textbox properties?
For example, I know the "NumericUpDown" has maximum and minimum
properties so that you can specify a range. This would be perfect,
however, I'm not a fan of the up/down arrows on the...

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.
