Search textbox.

Hey i've came across something i never thought i would need. But
Is it possible to do, Textbox1 and have it find a word in Textbox2 Multiline???
Sort of like control find but a little easier?
Thanx Rep to whoever helps.

Can you rephrase that sentence please?

Do you just want to check if textbox2 contains textbox1, or do you want to highlight textbox2's text(if it matches with textbox1)...? Or do you want to know the line it is found?

U mean this?

Code:

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        If TextBox2.Text = ("Something") Then TextBox1.Text = ("Something")
    End Sub
End Class

    End Sub
End Class

Well, this would not work so good.

Cuse he gone make like a search bar for his multilined textbox..

So textbox1 is the seach bar..
then textbox2 is the multi-lined text he want to search in for a word.

Or am i wrong?

You want this?

Code:

If TextBox2.Text = ("Hello") Then TextBox1.Text = ("Welcome")

Code:

If textbox2.contains(textbox1.text) then
          msgbox.show("OHHH")

Does not get any bit easier than that.

You will need a richtextbox as "multiline textbox" to make this work:

[highlight="VB.Net"]Private Sub Highlight(Byval SearchString as string,Byval SelectionColor as Color)
RichTextBox1.Select(RichTextBox1.Text.IndexOf(Sear chString), SearchString.Length)
RichTextbox1.SelectionColor = selectioncolor
End Sub[/highlight]

See if that works, didn't test it.

Usage:

[highlight="VB.Net"]Highlight(Textbox1.Text,Color.Blue)[/highlight]
