Keeping The Horiz Scrollbar From Moving In A Text Box
I used to know how to keep the vertical scrollbar at the bottom of a textbox as the textbox was filled up with lines of text but I have placed that code somewhere and I can't find it now but what I would like to be able to do now is to keep the horizontal scrollbar at the left of the textbox when I set the focus to a textline that is longer than the visible part of the textbox.
Here's what happens: In my program when the user double-clicks on any given line in the textbox I am setting the focus on that text line for the length of the text line. If the text line is longer than the visible area of the textbox the horizontal scrollbar moves to to right in order to show the user that the end of the text line is hi-lighted. In many cases this is undesirable because there is usually no important information at the end of the line and the user has to manually slide the scrollbar back to the far left position so I would like to be able to keep the horizontal scrollbar from moving at all and keep it positioned at the far left of the textbox.
If I could find my old VB code that I have for the vertical scrollbar I'm sure I could modify it to work for the horizontal scrollbar but today I have no idea what program I coded it in and it would take me forever to find it.
Textbox Scrollbar Help
Is it possible to change the colour of a textbox's scrollbars? Is it also possible to make the scrollbars appear and dissappear when the text is longer than the box? Finally, how do I get a centre of a textbox to follow the mouse? (Eg. So a user can redesign the interface if they want to by clicking and dragging)
Textbox + Scrollbar
let say if i am creating an app for which user can enter the degree desired (0-180deg).
i created a textbox(text1) and scrollbar(HScroll1) for user to enter the value. so, my question is can the value for both textbox and scrollbar matching each other?
that means when user enter 75deg in the textbox, the scrollbar will also automatically indicate 75deg...
when user scroll to 180deg, the textbox will shown 180...etc...
how can it be done?

TextBox Scrollbar
Folks,
In VB6, I use a textbox with multiline and vertical scrollbar to show a runtime process log. During the process or after it is done, the scrollbar's position stays at the top, that is, the text box shows the beginning of the log all the time.
How can I make it scroll down continuouly during the process and stays at the bottom showing the end of textbox?

Textbox Scrollbar
I have a textbox on a form with a vertical scrollbar setting. When the textbox updates from the database that I am linked to, the scrollbar returns scrolls to the top of the textbox. How do I get the scrollbar to scroll down to the end of the textbox once I have updated the textbox with new data from the database.
Thanks.

Using A Textbox Scrollbar Without A Mouse
I have a second screen I am working with, which will not have a mouse available. Therefore I will not be able to click on the textbox's vertical scrollbar if the textbox contains too much text. I want to be able to detect if the textbox has a scrollbar (That being the textbox has too much text), and if so, be able to move it down with just the touch of a button.
Is there any way I can find out a value for the textbox if a scrollbar is there? Or if the scrollbar can move...
And then change the value so that the scrollbar moves down?
I know how to write the other codes (using a key), I also looked at pictureboxs and vscrolls, I wondered if I could do it this way instead. Appreciate the help, thanks...

How Do I Link A Scrollbar To My Textbox?
Hello,
I have a textbox, text1. I have a vertical scrollbar, vscroll1. I want to link the scrollbar to my textbox. The scrollbar should control the textbox the way the scrollbar property of a textbox works - simply, scrolls the text. Is this possible? If so, please give me the code.
Private Sub VScroll1_Change()
Text1.Top = -VScroll1.Value + 1000
End Sub
The aboves scrolls the entire position of the textbox, not the text inside it.
Thanks.

TextBox Or RichTextBox? How To Set The Scrollbar?
Dear Friends,
Grettings. Wish to ask some questions on text box. Hope this won't bore you.
1. If I wish to set a particular line of text to be in different say blue and in bold font, is it I must use rich text box for doing so.
2. In fact, I wish to use a textbox as an accumulative status displaying control like that in CuteFTP. When the user click or change on a particular control on the form, an instruction message will be displayed in the textbox. But you know when the messages are too many, the new message can't be seen unless the user manually scroll the textbox vertical scrollbar (Scrollbars property set to true for vertical). Is there any way to ensure the newly coming up message can be automatically shown without deleting old history. That might be setting the scrollbars value at runtime, is it?
Any idea, please help.
Thanks a lot.
Assigning A Scrollbar To A Textbox...
Is it possible to assign a vertical scrollbar to a text box so that when the scrollbar is scrolled, the textbox reacts to it. I have already found a few ways to do this, but they are something like controlling the selstart of the textbox by a scrollbar that has the max value of len(text1.text). Actually, I would like even more to have something that I could put in a button (or two) and use them to scroll the textbox. And if possible, no selstart please...

Hi,
I want to know if we can change the "size" of the scrollbar inside textbox or richtextbox control. (e.g. To make it "thinner" if the text area is small). Any api call or wm_message can do this?

Check If Verticle Scrollbar Is Scrolled To Bottom On Multiline Textbox Question......
I have a multiline text box with a verticle scroll bar. I also have a checkbox that has to be checked if the information in the multiline text box has been read and agreed to.
What I am looking to do is check to see if the scroll bar is at the bottom of the scroll bar. If it is, then everything is fine (no message box appears when you click on the checkbox.) But if the position of the scroll bar is anywhere but the bottom, and the checkbox is clicked, then to have a message box come up on the screen.
I have no clue how to code this, let alone what to look for. Screen capture attached.
Please advise if at all possible, thanks in advance.

Moving Cursor In A TextBox
Hi everybody!
I'm trying to write an "On screen keyboard" for an application I have to delelop.
Using buttons I can easly modify the text property of a TextBox control (Text1) writing whatever I want.
I can also start a new line with the code line "Text1.text = Text1.text & vbCrLf" but I cannot move the cursor one char left or right through the string using the Chr(26) or Chr(27)!
If I try "Text1.text = Text1.text & Chr(26)" a non printable char is displayed and the cursor shifts always right .
I would like simply to simulate the arrow keys...
Can anybody help me?
Thanks

Moving From Flexgrid To Textbox
I have a situation where I've got one flexgrid control (call it flexSearch), and two data controls (call them dbFull and dbSearch). flexSearch is populated by dbSearch, and is filled according to a query. dbFull is the entire database, and is linked to a bunch of text fields (CompanyName, ContactName, etc).
Here's what I'd like to do: The user clicks on a record in flexSearch, and dbFull jumps to the corresponding ID and populates the bound text fields accordingly. The only way I can think of to do it is to page through the entire database until I come up with an ID that matches the one that was clicked in the flexgrid; however, I'm dealing with around 130,000 records, so I would rather avoid that processor overhead every time somebody clicks a field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Prevent Cursor In Textbox From Moving
like in the thread title,
is there anyways to prevent the cursor from shifting or moving within a textbox??
for example, i press right or left arrow buttons for some reasons, but i do not want to move the cursor in the textbox that is used for input....maybe it is preferable to maintain the cursor at the end of the string that the user typed or backspace.

Moving A Textbox In A Flexgrid With The Mouse ...
OK now I have worked out how to move my textbox around my flexgrid with the cursor keys, I want to take it one step further and allow the user to click a cell, which will in turn move the textbox to that cell.
I'm using the flxgrids MouseMove event, and obviously know the .Left and .Top of the grid itself, but is there any way of knowing what the row and column is where the user has clicked ?
E.g. if they click the cell in Row 3 Col 2, can I find out that it IS Row 3 and Col 2 ?
Thanks in advance ......
