hi guys,
im using vb.net 2K5 and im in quite a pickle here. hope someone can help me out.
what i want to do is when the user inputs the letter "g" my program will check if the preceding index is an "n" and if it is both the letters "n" and "g" would be replaced with the symbol "]" as i type
provided below is the code i curently have.
but my problem with this code is when you input "g" it will swap out "n" & "g" for "]" and it will keep doing this everytimei "g" is pressed and while there is an "n". and as a result it will swap out "n" characters that i don't want to be swapped out.
example
merlot and ping
--> merlot a]d pi]
all i want is whenever i type "g" the prog. will check the preceding index if its an "n" and if yes it will swap "n" and "g" with "]" thats it.
example:
merlot and ping
--> merlot and pi]
merlot and pi] galileo
Private Sub txt1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtbw1.KeyPress Dim asc As Short Dim jub As String Dim grad As Char Dim i As Integer Dim TextLength As Integer jub = Trim(txtbw1.Text) TextLength = jub.Length asc = Microsoft.VisualBasic.AscW(e.KeyChar) asc = IIf(asc >= 65 And asc <= 91 Or asc >= 97 And asc <= 122 Or asc = 32 Or asc = 1 Or asc = 93 Or asc = 97 Or asc = 8, asc, 0) If asc = 97 Then txtbw2.Text = "" End If If asc = 103 Then For i = 0 To TextLength - 1 grad = jub.Chars(i) If grad = "n" Then grad.ToString() asc = 93 txtbw1.Text = jub.Remove(i, 1) txtbw1.SelectionStart = i ElseIf grad = "N" Then asc = 91 txtbw1.Text = jub.Remove(i, 1) txtbw1.SelectionStart = i End If Next End If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(asc) If asc = IIf(asc < 65 And asc > 91 Or asc < 98 And asc > 122, asc, 0) Then MsgBox("That character has no baybayin equivalent", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "JDN-CKS Baybayin Writer") End If End Sub
i tried on the code and it works like a charm. however i forgot a few details and once again i need your help.
see heres my new dilema:
i need to replace capital "N" with "[" when i type small "g"
example
wiNg
==>wi[
so what my program should be doing when ever i type "g" it will check if its preceded by an "n" or "N"
if "g" is preceded by "n" it will be swapped out for "]"
if "g" is preceded by "N" it will be swapped out for "["
plus i noticed when i type in "g" and it is not preceded by an "n" or "N" the insertion point does not position itself after letter "g"
i tried playing around with your code and im stumped... this is so frustrating... Thanks again for your time and patience
