How To Make An Advanced Notepad In Visual Basic 2008

[@mrjangomushiturner]

Awesome video! Couple of suggestions: 1. You can add a Word Wrap feature, just have it disabled in the richtextbox properties and then us the code; RichTextBox1.WordWrap = True 2. Make it so you can open/save .txt files. 3. Print option/ Page setup If you could tell me how to do any of the last two suggestions it would be much appreciated! :)

[@0wnUr3Fac3]

You're VB 2008 tutorials are amazing, may i just ask how you found all this stuff out? Do you do classes, did you just learn from the internet (like I'm trying to do)?

[@F1Fearce]

[@thewizar8]

Thanks dude.. But since im new to Visual Basic i would like to know that after you made a Note Pad how can you share this Word Pad with others and will Microsoft take Money to publish this Note Pad. In Simple words i want to made my own Note Pad and want my friends to install it on thier PC. Is that possible and do they take cash for it?

[@HelpMyFellowPeople]

Hey man. Nice tutorial. One wuestion. I have made a custom notepad type program, but my question is, how do I make it so when the user opens a .txt file, it automaticly loads it into the notepad?

[@buggyiscool]

[@densenet]

Hello! Is there any way to make two filters to save and open? For Example When you click save there's the RTF extension. Can you make it to where you May save it as another extenstion, also?

[@null0737]

[@sweetfeet104]

Do you learn all these codes or do you copy them from somewhere?

[@computerhelp51]

hi, how can you make it so that you have multiple save and open file types such as txt and rtf? many thanks

[@fancypenguins]

how can i make it so it can open and save diffrent types of files?

[@TogeNoBara]

Every time i save the file then go to reopen the file, the file that gets opened is blank. nothing i typed is in the file i just saved. any clues as to why it isn't working? i did everything EXACTLY as he has it up there but it isn't working. I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express.

[@jkurtzman1]

Dude YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

[@aethletiic6032]

what is i want it to be able to open .txt files or .doc files instead of just .rtf files?

[@djemreandandrew2672]

the save and open don't work when I click them when the project is running

[@Chamantha10]

I NEED HELP SO MUCH! :( I have a text box instead of a rich text box. What is the code for the SAVE AS and OPEN for a TEXT BOX. Any help would be apprieciated. :)

[@Altex0]

easy way for save button: dim Save as new IO.StreamWriter("c:\users\" + environment.username() + "output" + ".txt") Save.Writeline(textbox1.text)

[@ClintonHuynh]

I keep looking for a normal notepad but all end up with richtextbox and rtf files, Im trying to find codes with txt and textbox, And none of the try and catch ex as exception stuff.

[@slytherin9090]

@Shinrubik change the file extension in the save file code : dlg.Filter = "Rich Text Files (*.rtf)|*.rtf" to dlg.Filter = "Batch files (*.bat)|*.bat" or dlg.Filter = "Some extension (*.ext)|*.ext"

[@1Mihailo]

im searching more more advanced example notpad++ program... becouse when you write a few line it counts em like : |1|asd |2|asd |3|asd and text when you write example : Random it comes blue but only that char

[@ahmetabzhir]

Woow thank you Teachar

[@pwnagedification]

@Shinrubik did you change file type from txt to all then"name of file".bat?

[@ClintonHuynh]

if i use .txt it would then i would be saving it with the rtf coding that makes the font the way it is including colour. you still won't have a clear text file

[@Awtsmoos]

Can you tell me how to make it save as a .txt?

[@PlaySteamGames]

Dont forget, were using RichTextBox1 in this video so: Save.Writeline(RichTextBox1.Text)

[@Many_Mirrors]

Man! Cool! Do yoou know I watched your in my Web browser you teached me to create! Thx!

[@dodongkyo]

[@PlaySteamGames]

Just a note: In the description you put the Color code at Font: and the Font code at Colour:

[@007speedcuber]

How do you convert it so you can just doubleclick on it?

[@NathanEnefer]

For guys that didnt see in the code bit for the exit tool strip item just add End for that bit

[@mariennelopez30]

@jibz988 Then go back to main form and double-click the 'close' item under the 'file' menu bar and encode Form2.show() . That's just it.

[@BigBottleLightInc]

[@marcostaveras1030]

For some people this happen to me to but Remenver The TextBox1 is not the same of yours Sample Select All: RichTextBox1.SelectAll() Change the TextBox Name to Yours type T1 on name then Select All: T1.SelectAll() do it like this if error came in to your bar Thanks

[@tomixtomi12]

What about print?

[@gabriel83571]

i'm sorry but this code closes the form when press ok or cancel

[@StephenOctavian]

P.S. You can add an option to align the text to right, left or center: Align to left: RichTextBox1.SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left Align to right : RichTextBox1.SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right Align to center: RichTextBox1.SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center

[@Doc842]

what about .txt files???

[@adinjohnson8998]

Thanks man i help

[@keropiboy]

can anyone make a printing routine via RTBox?

[@NukaBacon]

You could have done this with less code. for example: instead of Dim dlg As OpenFileDialog etc... You could have dragged a OpenFileDialog from the toolbox and then written the OpenFileDialog code like this: Try With OpenFileDialog1 .Title = "Open" .Filter = _ "Rich Text files (*.rtf)|*.rtf|" & _ "All files (*.*" This way lets you remove all the "dlg" and make things more WYSIWYG like.

[@fortazerty]

what About Search ??? Please Reply Me !!!!

[@tarkmertozberk150]

Print Button ???

[@xMercuryx56]

Why wrap a try-catch statement around the open dialogs? There's no point

[@Dodgemverse]

It does not work, vb08 says that almost everything is wrong!

[@VidGaming]

Thanks!!

[@keeblerelmcookies]

Print????????

[@fuckhead3520]

font code is wrong in description this should work: Try Dim dlg As FontDialog = New FontDialog dlg.Font = RichTextBox1.Font If dlg.ShowDialog = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then RichTextBox1.Font = dlg.Font End If

[@mariennelopez30]

@jibz988 First create a second form with two buttons named 'yes' and 'no' and a label that says, "Do you want to exit the program without saving it?'. Then, encode the ff: 'yes' button: End 'no' button: Dim SaveFileDialog1 As New SaveFileDialog Dim RichTextBox1 As New RichTextBox SaveFileDialog1.Filter = "rtf files(*.rtf)|*.rtf|txt files(*.txt)|*.txt|All files(*.*)|*.*" If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then RichTextBox1.SaveFile(SaveFileDialog1.FileName) End If

[@MegaUtimate]

Thank you

[@ComplicatedCakes]
