Hi,
is it possible to highlight certain words in a textbox by giving them a different font or background color? I want to filter some words in this textbox. I did not find a way even with rtf boxes.
Thanx!

Hi!
You can do this (at least the font thing) with the plain .NET RichTextBox class. Read the documentation for RichTextBox to see how to do it (SetSelectionFont).
To set the background color for a part of your text you'll have to use interop to set the character format (look up 'CHARFORMAT2' on MSDN).

Yes, it can be easily done in a rich text box. Please read the following example.
The following example displays a ColorDialog to the user to specify a color for the current text selection or text entered after the current insertion point in a RichTextBox control. This example assumes that the method defined in the example is added to a Form class that contains a RichTextBox control named richTextBox1.
[Visual Basic]
Public Sub ChangeMySelectionColor()
Dim colorDialog1 As New ColorDialog()
' Set the initial color of the dialog to the current text color.
colorDialog1.Color = richTextBox1.SelectionColor
' Determine if the user clicked OK in the dialog and that the color has
' changed.
If (colorDialog1.ShowDialog() = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) _
And Not(colorDialog1.Color.Equals(richTextBox1.SelectionColor)) Then
' Change the selection color to the user specified color.
richTextBox1.SelectionColor = colorDialog1.Color
End If
End Sub
[C#]
public void ChangeMySelectionColor()
{
ColorDialog colorDialog1 = new ColorDialog();
// Set the initial color of the dialog to the current text color.
colorDialog1.Color = richTextBox1.SelectionColor;
// Determine if the user clicked OK in the dialog and that the color has changed.
if(colorDialog1.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK &&
colorDialog1.Color != richTextBox1.SelectionColor)
{
// Change the selection color to the user specified color.
richTextBox1.SelectionColor = colorDialog1.Color;
}
}

Hi there,
I've used the following string to create a multiline string.
String str = "line1 \n newline2 \n newline3";
but I didn't get the appropriate result. I got something like this:
line1 newline2 newline3
How can I create multi line string?
thank you in advance.

Try replacing '\n' with line feed '\x0a' and carriage return = '\x0d'
|
|
|
|
|
I think you cannot save the currage return functionality in a string.
Try Console.WriteLine("line1\nnewline2\nnewline3");
or
String str1 = "line1";
String str2 = "newline2";
String str3 = "newline3";
Console.WriteLine(str1 "\n" str2 "\n" str3 );
hope this helps

Use "\r\n" instead of just "\n"
|
|
|

Hi,
Option 1:
string str = "line1" + "\n" + "newline2" + "newline3";
Option 2:
String str = "line1 \n\r newline2 \n\r newline3";
Majid, Tell me if these does not work.

I wanna use it in header text of a column of DataGrid control.

What do you think "multi line strings" are?
For the String class, the character '\n' is handled exactly like an 'a' or '7'. It's just a character like any other. String itself doesn't have a concept of multi line!
So you'll have to tell us where you want to _use_ the string.
In a TextBox, the line separator is "\r\n".
In a RichTextBox, the line separator is "\n".
So depending on where you need the string the answers will be different.

Then I would guess it is the DataGrid that strips the newlines.

In this case I doubt that you'll succeed with any of these approaches.
You see, the DataGrid is responsible for drawing the column headers according to their current texts, but I don't think the developers took multiline headings into consideration.
That's why you get blanks where your not-printable characters ('\n', '\r') are.
In order to achive multiline headings you'd have to perform drawing of the DataGrid column headers by yourself (perhaps you're able to do this using P/Invoke, I'm not sure).
Anyway: My suggestion would be _not_ to use multiline headings. Headings are used to give the user a short information what the contents of a column are. You're not supposed to write lengthy texts there.

I am trying to develop the following functionality. The user selects a button. In the on-click event I then want to bring up a new web page (small one) that contains a dropdowm list box. This list box would be bound to a data base. When the user selects an item the page disappears. I then work with the data that was selected.
How do I do this?
Thanks in advance

Hi.
Any of you have an working exampel of the function mmioInstallIOProcA??
|

But thanks anyway.

I want to track the mouse position by drawing a line or cross at the location of the pointer.
What I can't figure out is how to erase the previous location from the display.
In other languages I would have done used a XOR pen but I can't find the same thing in C#.
I want the behavior to be something similar to the tracking line when panels are resized.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi, Im having trouble creating an rtp header at the moment as I need to convert a short into a 2 bytes for the sequence number!
I have tried going to an string them byte but this then produces 5 bytes not 2! and also using the Convert class but this only converts to a single byte!
How do I go about this?
Many thanks, Mat

Hi!
I am wondering about the c# code-technique "using".
As I understand, when the program leaves the using-block, the resourse defined whith the statement is disposed. In that case the two cases below should be identical:
//*** Case 1: (without myConnection.Close()) ***//
using(SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(sConnectionString))
{
SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("GetUsers", myConnection);
myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
myConnection.Open();
//Fetch data
}
//*** Case 2: (with myConnection.Close()) ***//
using(SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(sConnectionString))
{
SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("GetUsers", myConnection);
myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
myConnection.Open();
//Fetch data
myConnection.Close();
}
Can anyone confirm that there is no defferences between the who. Case 1 just seems a bit dangerous to me
Thanx!
/Paul

I think you are asking two questions:
1.
using (SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(sConnectionString))
{
}
is equal to
SqlConnection myConnection;
try {
myConnection = new SqlConnection(sConnectionString);
} finally {
if (myConnection != null)
myConnection.Dispose();
}
This works good and you can trust in it
2. The other question is if a Dispose call on a SqlConnection is going to close it and yes it does.
