Syntax checking in text box

This isn't an easy question at all,
but I can work with you on this one as I have already started
a sample project to do such a thing.

Their are so many validations to consider,
the Backspace key, up and down arrows must scroll threw the box,
enter must select etc.

Give me you email address and we could work on it togther.

Ok.... firstly I would use a Rich Text box....

The easiest way to implement that is to use a Code to find the start of the line then count the number of comma's then have a second single line RTB at the top of the form with the syntax promptes.....

If You would like me to ... I could probably modify the code for  the 'RTF cursor position' routine... that'd work ok...

Actually It is a fairly easy Question... if you have the code snippets available .....

BTW arn't you supposed to answer the Question ... when you submit the answer......

If you would like to ask any questions regarding my previous comments ... my ICQ is 6631387.. call me!

Maverick's idea of another single line RTB was good.
This could work. I would like to see the code for the cursor line position.

I had hoped to use a method which looks like the VB method. (It kinda looks nice). I wondered if there is some way of using the tooltips or an api function.

OK.... I'll find the code.....

BTW where would you like to obtain the syntax from... a *.MDB file ???

I use the tool tip text property to give advice on a dynamic basis to the user. As you figure out what you want to tell them, place the text into the tool tip property.

Ok Mark, I would like to use the tool tip text property, but how can I show the tool tip after one letter has been typed.
I thought the tool tip only comes up when the mouse is placed over an object.

Bumpy.

if u want to use it using a word application from vb then i can solve this probelm . do mail to me if required

You still want that RTF position APP?>
