RichTextBox Fun?

The following code works just fine on my "test" form, but when i put the code in the REAL application i get a selection rectangle, rather than the nice text color change i get with this code:

richTextBox1.AppendText("This" + System.Environment.NewLine);
richTextBox1.AppendText("seems" + System.Environment.NewLine);
richTextBox1.AppendText("to" + System.Environment.NewLine);
richTextBox1.AppendText("work." + System.Environment.NewLine);

string mySearchLetters = textBox1.Text;
int index = richTextBox1.Find(mySearchLetters);
label1.Text = mySearchLetters + " was found in pos " + index.ToString();
if (index >= 0)
richTextBox1.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Orange;

I'm thinking that maybe there is a "property" set on the real application that prevents this code from working but i can not find it. i compare the control properties, line-for-line and they seem to be identical.

Any ideas?

I take it your trying to highlight the position and length of the string you typed in?

This code won't work because your not changing the .SelectStart and .SelectionLength properties to actually select the string you want to change with .SelectionColor.

richTextBox1.SelectionStart = pos;
richTextBox1.SelectionLength = mySearchLetters.Length;
richTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Orange;

It turns out the solution was even simpler .. there WAS a property that was messing things up. All i had to do was set HideSelection to true !!!

The pretty orange text was hidden under the selection rectangle ... go figure ... lol.

Thanks for responding, Dave.

yeah, either I'm stupid (which is possible) or that's not quite what I'm after. It's still not rendering a clickable link on a web page.

Escape the quotation mark with the \ character:

string link = "<a href=\"www.codeproject.com\">";

Or use an @-delimited string and double qoutation marks:

string link = @"<a href=""www.codeproject.com"">";

At running i got an error that means DataSet couldn't fill successfully.
I think strSqlSELECT is not correct and may be corrupted.

I want another SELECT Query to retrive Column Description from Table.
I want to set my DataGrid's Column Header to Tables Column's Description.

Please Help Me.

What error message did you get?

From your description it's impossible to say what's wrong, it could just as well be the connection that is faulty as the query. In that case it doesn't matter what query you use.

Have you set up the connection object properly?

I tried to execute your query in query analyzer. It runs just fine, but it doesn't return anything. There is only a few of my databases that has anything in the sysproperties table, and no records with type=4.

hi all, am new to C# programming and i got a little problem.
i made a windows application form used for login to another form, it has "username" & "password" text boxes. it's connected to an Access database which stores the authorized usernames & passwords, so what i want is when the user clicks the "login" button..the program should check the user input whether it's found in the database, then it can tell user "access granted" or "access denied".
thnx in advance

Hi there,

Did you know how to connect to Access DB? if so, you just make an sql query to check if the user's input is valid or not...
