So I made this simple Notepad a while ago and thought I might release it. It's basic, I know, the GUI sucks, I know. It was the second thing I made in VB (the first being a 'webbrowser' if you could call it that). Anyway, 'enjoy'.

P.S I am sorry about the name, I couldn't think of anything else.

Features

Open, saves, creates Rich Text Files
Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear, Select All (The usual)
Change the colour of text
Change the style of font
Basic Word Count (Took me ages to figure this out) First message box = # of lines Second = # of words
Insert and Remove date
Zoom (50%-300%)
Lock and Unlock (Set a password)
Help Menu

The motive of this program was creating a file that works with Rich Text Files, while maintaining the file size of a normal text file. It can support pictures and hyperlinking, but the file size remains 1/5 that of the same content made in a normal word processing program.

Thanks Guys.

Scans;
Scan 1 0/31
Scan 2 0/5

*Sorry for the inconvenience of the 2nd scan, I can't use any other scanners for some reason D:

Basic Word Count (Took me ages to figure this out) First message box = # of lines Second = # of word

Why not use a status bar for this or something? Labels, dunno.
By the way, the GUI is indeed sucky, but because of button sizes and places. Use the grid and try to make things look neat. Check some other decent applications as example.

Herp derp, what if people use double spaces after full stops?
[highlight=vb.net]
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Matches(TextB ox1.Text, "\b\w*\b", System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.Compil ed).Count

Oh yeah, you don't need to call ToString on a TextBoxes text.

I dont understand any Jason's code o.O
