ok.. i know it is a no no to just ask for code, but I need someone to point me in the right direction...
where should i be looking for such a function:
I want to take the code that is in a text file -
If TextBox5.Text.Contains(" cx ") Then
cursorposition1 = TextBox5.SelectionStart()
TextBox5.Text = TextBox5.Text.Replace(" cx ", " cervical ")
cursorposition = cursorposition1 + 6
TextBox5.SelectionStart = cursorposition
End If
If TextBox5.Text.Contains(" cxr ") Then
cursorposition1 = TextBox5.SelectionStart()
TextBox5.Text = TextBox5.Text.Replace(" cxr ", " chest x-ray ")
cursorposition = cursorposition1 + 8
TextBox5.SelectionStart = cursorposition
End If
If TextBox5.Text.Contains(" cxrreport ") Then
cursorposition1 = TextBox5.SelectionStart()
TextBox5.Text = TextBox5.Text.Replace(" cxrreport ", " CHEST X-RAY: NORMAL__. ABNORMAL__.FINDINGS: EN ")
cursorposition = cursorposition1 + 41
TextBox5.SelectionStart = cursorposition
End If
If TextBox5.Text.Contains(" cysder ") Then
cursorposition1 = TextBox5.SelectionStart()
TextBox5.Text = TextBox5.Text.Replace(" cysder ", " dermal inclusion cyst ")
cursorposition = cursorposition1 + 15
TextBox5.SelectionStart = cursorposition
End If
If TextBox5.Text.Contains(" cysder. ") Then
cursorposition1 = TextBox5.SelectionStart()
TextBox5.Text = TextBox5.Text.Replace(" cysder. ", " dermal inclusion cyst. ")
cursorposition = cursorposition1 + 15
TextBox5.SelectionStart = cursorposition
End If
and import it into a keydown event -
Private Sub TextBox5_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox5.KeyDown
Dim currentlinetext As String
Dim cursorposition1 As String
Dim cursorposition As String
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Space Then
---------code will go in here ----------
End If
End Sub
