Rich Text Box && Colors
I have a problem with rich text box and it's colors.

I am doing a html- editor and i want to work it so that when the user writes a command <br> for example, then it should change color and when user keeps writing the text comes black again. So every command should have own color and only commands have colors.

Of course different commands must have different colors.

So how to do that??

Rich Text Box Colors
Each time I add new text to the text box, it changes everything else to the color of the first line.

Code:
With RTB
.selstart = len(.text)
.text = .text & Info
.sellength = len(.text) - .selstart
.selcolor = vbRed
End with
When I add the text, only that line is red and all the previous lines go back to the color the first line is (which is cyan). Is there a way to have the previous lines keep their color when I add new lines without using the RTB code?

Also, is there a way to keep the RTB from scrolling to the top each time I add text?

Colors In Rich Text Box
What is the best way to do this? The methods I have seen work good with small amounts of data, but when the textbox gets large, it tends to lag a whole lot..

Colors In A Rich Text Box
I have a chat application I made in VB . The main window is a richtextbox . I want to add color to the "Nick" the person is using and I tried this

Code:
Public Sub colorize()
Dim posEnd, posStart, x, i As Integer

x = 0
i = 0

For i = 0 To Len(RichTextBox1.Text)
RichTextBox1.SelStart = i
RichTextBox1.SelLength = 1

If RichTextBox1.SelText = ">" Then 'start tag
posStart = i
RichTextBox1.SelColor = vbRed

End If

Next i

End Sub

The Probem with that is that evertime something new is put in the box it scrolls through the whole RTB contents and it looks ugly . How do they do it in Mirc ? Should I write all the chat strings to a file and reload it evertime something new is entered ? Any ideas would be great ! Thanks again .

Colors In A Rich Text Box...
Is there a way to set the color of the text inside a rich text box? As far as I can tell, the properties of the rtb only allow you to set the background color.

To start, I'd like to be able to set the text color inside the rtb. I'd like to be able to set each line in the box to a different color if possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Rich-Text Box: Need Help Giving Different Colors To A String. Plz Help
hi there,. ok here is what im trying to do:

Im working on a MUD, and when i got to the client part, well, i realized i needed to use rich-text box, control im not familiarized with,... i have been trying and trying to give a string different colors in different parts of the same, and i really cant do it.

For example i want this string:
[3Hello [2World.

to give different colors to both words... Get the idea? so what im trying to do is pretty much the same as alt+k command on mIRC. Make it so i can change the font's color anytime i want in the same line, etc.



I would really appreciate if someone can tell me how this can be done, or if it has some default tags, i would love if you can give me a list or a place where i can get those tags from.


Thanks a Lot, Bruno

I Added A Rich Text Box, Now I Cant Save My Colors Anymore
My colors were saving to registry, then I put rich text box in and now nothing saves. I commented out the rich textbox lines but it still doesnt save. I have ran through the debugger and cant seem to find the problem. Here is the code in the order it loads.

Load form

Code:
Code:Private Sub Form_Load()
Call GetControls
end sub

Get saved options

Code:
Code:Cllr7 = CLng((GetSetting(App.Title, "Colors", "FBible", Cllr7)))
If Cllr7 = "" Then
frmBible.txtBible.SelColor = vbBlack
Else
frmBible.txtBible.SelColor = Cllr7
End If
Cllr8 = CVar((GetSetting(App.Title, "Colors", "FNotes", Cllr8)))
frmBible.txtNotes.ForeColor = Cllr8
**********THESE 2 SHOULD BE DIFFERENT COLORS********


Change Colors
Code:
Code:Private Sub Command1_Click()

   
    If chkAFC.Value = 0 And chkNFC.Value = 0 And chkBFC.Value = 0 Then
MsgBox "You must check at least one box to have your selection take effect"
End If
If chkAFC.Value = 1 Then
NewFace &HFF00&
End If
    If chkNFC.Value = 1 Then
    NewFNotes &HFF00&
    End If
        If chkBFC.Value = 1 Then
        NewFBible &HFF00&
        End If

End Sub

Private Sub NewFNotes(FN As Long)
frmBible.txtNotes.ForeColor = FN
End Sub

Private Sub NewFBible(FB As Long)
'frmBible.txtBible.SelColor = FB
End Sub
Save Colors

Code:
Code:Private Sub cmdSave_Click()

    'check witch text box to apply settings to
    If chkBibletxt.Value = 1 And chkNotestxt.Value = 1 Or chkBibletxt.Value = 0 And chkNotestxt.Value = 0 Then
    Call Tbible
    Call TNotes
    Else
    If chkBibletxt.Value = 1 And chkNotestxt.Value = 0 Then
    Call Tbible
    Else
    If chkBibletxt.Value = 0 And chkNotestxt.Value = 1 Then
    Call TNotes
    End If
    End If
    End If
    Call SaveControls
End Sub
Calling save control

Code:

Code:Cllr7 = frmBible.txtBible.SelColor
Cllr8 = frmBible.txtNotes.ForeColor

SaveSetting App.Title, "Colors", "FBible", Cllr7
SaveSetting App.Title, "Colors", "FNotes", Cllr8

Well there it is thats the end and then obviously once the settings are saved and you restast the app it should recall the colors. It was working before now I cant seem to get it to save. It wont save the richtextbox color or the notes or anything elses color.

anyone see an error I am missing somewhere.

Thanks,
Doc

2 Small Things (change Image And Textbox Value)
I just have 2 small questions:

1. How can I make my image (lets call it PictureBox1) change when I make a selection on combobox1. I have about 16 different images to go with the 16 different options.

2. How can I make it so that when I press a button [I just need the code for the following], it changes the value of a textbox on another form, and shows the tab that form is on?

Thanks!

Things Were Okay UNTIL I Changed From Picturebox To Textbox For Output Display
Things were okay until I changed from picturebox to textbox for output display ---> Originally I was using a picturebox of which all 10 lines from a textfile displayed a-ok ... but then I changed over to textbox because I needed a scrollbar as picturebox does not have that ... now the 10 lines will not print, ONLY the very last line does ... Will someone please show me how to correct the code below to display the 10 lines of textfile instead of just the very last one?

The only change I made was I replaced Picture1.Print SampleOutput to Text3.Text = SampleOutput


Quote:




Private Sub Command2_Click()
'Runs loop to read and display all 10 lines from text file.
Open "C:My Documentsmytext.txt" For Input As #1
Do While Not EOF(1)
Input #1, SampleOutput
Text3.Text = SampleOutput
Loop
Close #1
End Sub




P.S. Why is it when I insert code indented as it should be, it comes out all left-justified when posted?

(rich?)TextBox Help
I need some help.. I'm trying to make a psuedo chat program for a friend and i'm rather new.. I have the user entering text in on text box and once they press "send" it goes into another textbox so it looks like a dialog. My own problem is that with a textbox or RichTextBox, once the text goes below the bottom of the textbox, the scrollbar comes up but the text still stays at the very top so what you just pasted is not visible and you must scroll manually. Is there any way to change this? I'm currently using code like "rtfChatwindow.text = rtfChatwindow.text + chr(10) + txtEntertext.text" incase that has anything to do with it

Rich TextBox
I am writing a Notepad style program in VB, using the RichTextBox control. However I need to dissable OLE dropping in the box. I can dissable the drag-drop of OLE objects by setting that property to false during design-time, however, it still allows me to paste OLE objects into the box at runtime. For example, if i would right click a file and click copy, then go to the rich textbox and press Ctrl-V(for paste), an icon for the copied file will appear in the textbox. How can I prevent this from happening?
