Cutting Off Text In Multiline Textbox If It's Too Long
Hi, in the screenshot below you can see that if the file name is too long, then it will automatically continue on the next line. Is there a way to cut the file name off if it's too long, so it won't continue on the next line (like a listbox) ?

I know I can use scrollbars, but that makes it ugly.

Thanks.

Multiline Textbox - Viewing The Text As It Is Added
I have a multi-line textbox, to which I add text throughout the running of the application. (I suppose you could call it a log).
However, I want to be able to see the last entry on it. If this is beyond the end of the visible part, you have to use the scroll-bar.
Is there an easy way to make it so that you see the last line by default, and have to use the scroll-bar to see the first entry.

Format Multiline Textbox Text In Textfile
I have a multiline textbox(description) where the user can enter info. How can I get each line from the textbox and insert into a textfile? For now I just do a
print #1, description.text

but it doesn't stay in the format I want where each line is indented.

right now it looks like this in the file:
Description info from textbox
next line starts here
jkjkjljkjkjl

what I want is

Description info from textbox
next line starts here
jkjkjljkjkjl

Have 2nd and 3rd lines line up with the "i" in "info."
Thanks.

Aligning Lines Of Text In A Multiline Textbox
Hi,

Thanks for all your prompt help. This is a really great site, especially for where I come from where we do not have many VB users to network with.

In my app, I have a form where users key in several variables and press Calculate to get the output in a multiline textbox. This is a schedule for monthly payments, which can reach 60 lines or more.

I write the output to a string variable, broken by vbcrlf after every line, then the variable to the text box. Problem is the text is coming out unaligned, especially after from the 10th instalment, and also the amounts are all coming out left-justified whereas they would look neater on the right.

Any way to correct this problem?

Also, any proper way of coding the Print Button to apart from Printer.PrintForm?

Thanks again.

GoodGuy.

Grabbing Text From Webpage Form Named Long_d To Multiline Textbox In VB6?
Hello all,

Just got an issue ..
1. Got a webbrowser control named w which fires up the page with the form2. A multiline textbox called text1.text3: Command buttons for other functions
How would you go about, grabbing the content of form from a php page which is named long_d and having it automatically load into a textbox?

Is this simple?

I was thinking maybe a command button which:
1: sets focus on webpage 'howto?2: sendkeys "{TAB 32}" ' sends keys 32 times to get to the form3: code to auto highlight the text in the form ' howto?4: code to copy to clipboard ' howto?5: code to copy to text1.text ' howto?
Is this logical?

Any Help very much appreciated!

Save Text In Textbox To Array
Hi all

I was wondering how exactly do i save text , that is entered into a textbox to an Array by clicking a command button? I have tried using really basic coding
What i want it to do here is basically save text that is entered into the texbox for
Student(0)
Student(1)
and Student(2)
The problem im getting is that whatever is entered into the textbox saves in every array position! not individually ...

Dim Student(2) As String

Private Sub cmdStore_Click()
For i = 0 To 2
Student(i) = txtEnter.Text
txtDisplay.Text = Student(2) ` i used this as a checker basically , to see whether it displayed correctly
Next i

End Sub

As soon as i enter text in the textbox the Displayer displays what i entered.. but it shoudlnt because i said it to display Student(2) , which is what will be entered lastly ... but yea , its in a loop so im not really sure how to end it as well....
its a really simple problem , but ive probably made it stupidly complicated ....

Thanks

Can anyone tell me how I show lookup/offset results as line entries in a multiline textbox.

The following code brings up 5 address lines that I want to show as seperate lines within a textbox, but not sure how to use code to enter down to the next line:

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim rngFound As Range
Dim rngSource As Range
Dim strSearch As String
Dim strDesc As String
Dim strDesc1 As String
Dim strDesc2 As String
Dim strDesc3 As String
Dim strDesc4 As String

Set rngSource = Worksheets("LUGGAGECUSTOMERS").Range("B2:P675")

strSearch = AcctNo.Text

Set rngFound = rngSource.Find(strSearch)

If Not rngFound Is Nothing Then

strDesc = rngFound.Offset(0, 1).Value
strDesc1 = rngFound.Offset(0, 2).Value
strDesc2 = rngFound.Offset(0, 3).Value
strDesc3 = rngFound.Offset(0, 4).Value
strDesc4 = rngFound.Offset(0, 5).Value

Else

strDesc = "ITEM NOT FOUND"

End If

InvAdd = strDesc & strDesc1 & strDesc2 & strDesc3 & strDesc4

End Sub

the strDesc, strDesc1, srDesc2 etc. need to each be on a new line

Multiline TextBox To SQL
I have a multiline textbox (txtMeterNum) and two singleline textboxes (txtDate and txtBatchNum). From a scaner we scan meter numbers to a .txt file, with a timer we put these numbers in the multiline textbox. They apear each in their own row. All of these must be updated to a SQL database with the same Date and Batch number as in txtDate and txtBatchNum. so if there are 10 meter numbers then there must be 10 new records with 10 diferent Meter numbers al with the same date and batch number.
I used ADODC

MultiLine TextBox!
I am using a MultiLine TextBox. I want that only if the text in the TextBox, which is pre-written but will be different for each user, exceeds the height of the TextBox then only should the vertical scrollbar be displayed otherwise the vertical scrollbar should remain hidden. How do I do this?

Setting the ScrollBars property of the TextBox to 2 - Vertical always renders the vertical scrollbar even if the entire text in the TextBox doesn't exceed the height of the TextBox.

Note that the TextBox is Locked i.e. it is read-only.

Thanks,

Arpan

Multiline For TextBox
Previouly I used picture box to do multiline texts, and it prints new line without deleting the previous line, unless I used cls.

Example code;

Picture1.Print "Text1"
For i = 1 To 3
Picture1.Print Matrix1(i);
Next i

It shows

Text1
1
2
3

To clear the picture box i used,
Picture1.cls

How can I use TextBox.Text to
- do multiline without rewriting vbNewLine or vbCrLf many times
- keep the previous line

Tq

MultiLine TextBox!
Both the images below are of the SAME MultiLine TextBox.

In both the images, Sentence4 comes immediately after Sentence3 but in the 2nd image, it looks like there is a line gap (if I may call that} between Sentence3 & Sentence4 i.e. in the 2nd image, instead of Sentence4 getting rendered immediately after Sentence3, there is a blank line.

Similarly, in the 1st image, though Sentence4 is the last line in the TextBox, a blank line has been left after that.

How do I avoid these blank lines?

Thanks,

Arpan

If you are adding lines of text to a multiline text box with a verticle scroll bar, how do you make each new line of text get printed to a new line? Do you just add some sort of return character at the end of each line?

I use KeyPress event to SendKeys "{Tab}" when Enter is pressed instead of Tap to move to the next TextBox. But I want my MultiLine Textbox to move to the next line if user press combination keys of
CTRT+SHIFT. How can I do this?

Multiline Textbox
Okay.. probably another idiot question.. but.. how do I get back to line1 of a multi line Textbox after sending data from it..?

This is how my code works so far:

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)

If (KeyAscii = 13) Then
strVariabe = Text1.Text
Text1.Text = ""
End If

End Sub

However.. after pressing Return and sending the data to strVariable, and clearing the text box.. it always returns to line2 of the box.. while I want the entry point back at the start of the text box.
I hope this makes sense.. it's driving me crazy!!!

MultiLine In A TextBox

Multiline TextBox
I have a project in which I create all my controls at runtime with the assistance of a database to load the properties of the controls ... I have recently hit a dead end though, a TextBox's MultiLine and Scrollbar properties are read-only at runtime. This sounds very stupid to me to begin with, why would you make those read only when you know that people will want to switch back and forth in an application at runtime? Anyway ... I was wondering if there was some API function to set these properties? I really *must* set these properties with code. Any help is appreciated.
