.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / July 2005Is it possible to highlight just one letter of textbox with window forms?
Or, is there a way to highlight the a character in a textbox that is not the last? That is, move the current position of the cursor to inside a word of an item in a textbox? Thanks You can use the SelectionStart and SelectionLength properties.

One, I got an email from a developersdex.com on this reply. I posted through google. How'd that happen? and, Two, I notice you are a compac framework MVP. Have you tried the new 5.0 stuff? I can't seem to get it to install without hanging. I've even done a complete reinstall on my dell inspiron of XP Pro to no avail. Thanks again for the answer. http://peterkellner.net > I got an email from a developersdex.com on > this reply. I posted through google. How'd > that happen? Not sure.

Are you referring to the "Windows Mobile 5.0 Developer Evaluation Kit"? http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/howto/resourcekit/default.aspx This is the means by which I installed 5.0 support into a Virtual PC image running Windows 2000 Pro and Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. I followed the steps that came with the evaluation kit and everything installed and funtioned as expected. SignatureTim Wilson .Net Compact Framework MVP > Thanks, just what I wanted.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > http://peterkellner.net Hi Peter, Several web sites monitor these newsgroups and many of these sites add signatures to the posts. They will all end up on msnews.microsoft.com though, so the fastest way is to not use a web based news reader at all but a 'proper' newsreader and log on directly. nntp://msnews.microsoft.com Outlook Express is commonly used. Personally I prefer Opera. > Thanks, just what I wanted. Two other curiosities. One, I got an > email from a developersdex.com on this reply. I posted through google.

I personally use Microplanet Gravity, which used to be commercial, but is now free: http://mpgravity.sourceforge.net/ Being Open Source, it can be changed if you need extra features. For instance, when I hit Ctrl-F1, I get (the bit inside the quote tags): <quote> Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the problem? See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of what I mean by that. </quote> because I post that so often :) SignatureJon Skeet - <skeet@pobox.com> http://www.pobox.com/~skeet If replying to the group, please do not mail me too [This followup was posted to microsoft.public.dotnet.framework and a copy was sent to the cited author.] > > Any suggestions (in windows) for a 'proper' newreader?

I'm now using Gravity like you (a 'proper' newsreader and I pointed it to my sbc news feed. Sorry for the off topic question, but is there anyway to make it read just microsoft newsgroups from the newsreader suggested (nntp://msnews.microsoft.com), or does it really even matter.

Not entirely sure what you mean - you can have multiple servers, and switch between them, if that's what you mean, or just subscribe to the groups you want.

There was a comment earlier that said go directly to the nntp://msnews.microsoft.com newsfeed. I'm currently hooking up to SBC's newsfeed. Is there any reason to get some newsgroups from msnews and the rest from SBC? and, does MicroPlanet allow this (if it makes sense which I'm not sure it does now since things seem to update pretty fast) SignaturePeter Kellner http://peterkellner.net > There was a comment earlier that said go directly to the > nntp://msnews.microsoft.com newsfeed.

If the SBC feed is okay though, I'd stick with that - it's a bit of a pain having to switch servers frequently. SignatureJon Skeet - <skeet@pobox.com> http://www.pobox.com/~skeet If replying to the group, please do not mail me too If SBC has all the microsoft groups you want, then you are ok. If there are some groups that are missing you will find them on msnews.microsoft.com. You won't find any other groups than microsoft.* on msnews though. > [This followup was posted to microsoft.public.dotnet.framework and a > copy was sent to the cited author.] [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > the rest from SBC? and, does MicroPlanet allow this (if it makes sense > which I'm not sure it does now since things seem to update pretty fast) SignatureHappy coding! Morten Wennevik [C# MVP] > If SBC has all the microsoft groups you want, then you are ok. From what I've read in the past, it's generally not a good idea to use an ISP's mirror of Microsoft's newsgroups since it's not reliable (i.e. you might not get some posts). As for newsreaders, I use 40tude Dialog -- of all the ones I've tried this is my favourite by far (and it's easy to configure and use multiple news servers with it). Is there anyway to add an attribute (like underscore) to a current character in the textbox? Thanks, http://peterkellner.net Other than trying to somehow manually draw the underline yourself, if you're targeting the desktop framework, the only thing that I can think of is to switch to a RichTextBox and try to utilize the SelectionFont property. SignatureTim Wilson .Net Compact Framework MVP > Is there anyway to add an attribute (like underscore) to a current > character in the textbox? > > Thanks, > > http://peterkellner.net Actually, I'm targetting smartphone with the 1.1 stuff. (since I can't get the 2.0 working). This is for a prototype so beta is OK. The current version of the Compact Framework is 1.0 SP3. The desktop framework is at 1.1. So the RichTextBox isn't going to be available to you as it's not in the Compact Framework. By default when you enter a character into a TextBox on a SmartPhone using the keypad, on the device or emulator, the current character being input will be underlined. If you need to do something custom above and beyond that then you're probably going to need to paint it custom. This may not be pretty. So unless it's absolutely necessary then you may want to consider an alternative. SignatureTim Wilson .Net Compact Framework MVP > Actually, I'm targetting smartphone with the 1.1 stuff.

SignaturePeter Kellner http://peterkellner.net I don't have the Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK installed so I can't verify this but I'm pretty confident that the TextBox works as it did in previous versions.
