hi,
I know how to browse a file and read the data from the file into a richtextbox in windowsform but my problem is I am not able print each file as it is but I am able to print just as appending to each line using the following code:

code :
OpenFileDialog dlg = new OpenFileDialog();
dlg.Title = "Open text file";
dlg.InitialDirectory = @"c:\";
dlg.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*";
if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(dlg.FileName);
string s = sr.ReadLine();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
while (s != null)
{
sb.Append(s);
s = sr.ReadLine();
}
sr.Close();
this.richTextBox1.Text = sb.ToString();
}

can you please help me to read file as it is with newline characters to richtexbox

Don't wait to hear a word of thanks from anybody when you help them instead ask them to help three other people and ask them to continue in chain.

Look at the System.IO.File[^] static class and the System.IO.FileStream[^] class.

Also, search the web for articles on how to do this; there are hundreds of tutorials and examples on how to do this.

Hi, I want to test my little text editor app on another computer but when I have sent things like this to friends over msn, they get an error, is there someway of bundling the framework with the program or is the only way to turn it into an installation type thing with the framework with it?

Thanks.

They can just download and install the framework. No, there's no way around it.

I know there are products which allow you to create a free standing exe, but pointing that out just muddies the waters. None of the solutions I know of are cheap, and really, I think they are a bad idea in any case.

Bundle your app with the .NET framework. Alternately, use the bootstrapper built-in to VS to generate a setup program that downloads and installs the .NET framework only if required.

he he he I'm sorry, when I was looking for "Vertical ProgressBar" I'd write "Vertical ProgresssBar". Sorry.

I'd need the vertical progressbar because my form it's little limited of space, but I find space.

Anyway thanks.

Hi,

I have an unmanged exe and I would somehow, like to have it run inside my form. I don't care how, but is it possible?

I just want my app to be a container, or to contain the other unmanaged app.

Any ideas?

You can probably hack this together by making your unmanaged app a child window in your managed app. I would not do this for production code ,tho.

Is there input data from the device when a non-magnetic card is swiped? If not then No.

Getting returns from a messagebox

Blekk13-Nov-06 9:19

13-Nov-06 9:19

Ok, in my text editor, when a user clicks new when the document hasn't been saved, it prompts the message:

MessageBox.Show("This document has not been saved, would you like to save this document?", "Save", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1);

But how do I now get returns from this function, so I can use an if statement such as:

if(WHATERVER GOES HERE == OK){Messagebox.Show("User clicked OK");

Thanks,

Any reply is appreciated.

MEssageBox.Show returns a DialogResult value. That's the return value you want.

So if I used:

if(MessageBox.Show == DialogResult.OK)<br />
{<br />
   MessageBox.Show("User selected OK");<br />
}<br />

that should work?

Hmm, how does the compiler know that MessageBox.Show in the if statement is the same as the one with the buttons?

Do I have to do something like:

MessageBox myBox = new MessageBox();<br />
myBox.Show(ALL THE CODE HERE);<br />
if(myBox == DialogResult.OK)<br />
{<br />
     CODE HERE<br />
}

Should that work?

You can do something like this.

<br />
if (MessageBox.Show("Press Ok or Cancel", "Test", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel) == DialogResult.OK)<br />
            {<br />
                MessageBox.Show("You pressed Ok");<br />
            }<br />
            else<br />
            {<br />
                MessageBox.Show("You pressed Cancel");<br />
            }<br />

You cannot use new on MessageBox because its a static class (all functions are static and the constructor is private). Also since the MessageBox.Show function does not return unless the user press a button, there is no confusion for the compiler.
