Hi, Thanks for the reply. But it is catching a space in the beginning of the string. How to avoid it ?
I mean, this is the result now - " 85" and " 215"

I got this from RegexBuddy.
"\s\d+([^\[\s])"

Hi,
Since i am a self learner, I never used BreakPoint yet. Because, i didn't see any tutorial on how to use it. Instead, i use a Debug.WriteLine command to see what happens there. In this context, i am going to do the same in the ControlAdded event of the panel. If i am doing something wrong, or is there any chance to improve my method of debugging, please correct me.

Hi, When i wrote code for changing location, i can't see any labels on SelectedPanel. The Labels which receive Double click event are vanishing from MainContainer, but not appearing in SelectedPanel. If i comment out that line of code(location change code), Labels are appearing in SelectedPanel, but they are maintaining a gap which i don't like.

If it is developed in AutoIt, then some native functions are there for to run the code. Anyhow, let me experiment.

@SA,
Anyway, let me try this with multi threading. I will inform you the result. If this is not easy in vb.net, i need to build this in autoit.

@SA,
I have tagged vb.net because, i need to know how to do this purticular task in vb.net. I am making this IDE for autoit users. So they must installed autoit first.

Ok. The interpreter is an exe file located in my "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\".
And every autoit user has this exe file in his pc.
VB.Net depends dot net frame work but this language will work in any windows pc. That's why i like this language.

Hi @SA,
I can explain. Autoit is a scripting language. It's syntax looks like Basic. The developers of autoit included SciTE IDE to write the code and debug and compile it as an exe. But SciTE lacks most advanced features like automatic "EndIf" completions which we can see in visual studio. So i have planned to make my own IDE. The language i choose is VB.Net. I think i have made my point clear.

@SA,
Say, this is user's script and assume that he is trying to run this in my IDE.
"
ConsoleWrite("Loop is starting now...." & @CRLF)
For $i = 0 To 10
ConsoleWrite("Vinod this text is from your console" & @CRLF)
Sleep(5000)
Next
"
The result will be printed in output control, only after we kill the process.

I mean i don't kow if it is a stand alone or something like that.

if a user trying to run an infinite loop, i can't tell the execution time.

Hi @SA,
After some experiments, i succeeded in displaying output in console. But it is only after i stopped the script from outside visual studio. I think i need threading to achieve my goal.

@SA,
Thanks for the reply. I don't know anything about the technical details of that interpreter. All i know is, i can run any scripts without loops and i can display its output to the user. But if try to run scripts which contain loops,it is running but i can't display output. So i think i did something wrong in the process.Start.

@Sergey Alexandrovich,
Autoit has it's own interpreter to run the script. I think i don't need the CodeDom. Please forgive me if it is wrong. I just want to run the interpreter with proper command line switches. And i have succeeded but when it's come to script which contains loops, i can't get the output. That's the problem.

Thank you @Maciej Los :)

Thanks

@Kenneth Haugland, I don't know anything about macro. I just know to control word document with this scripting language.

Thanks @Sergey Alexandrovich. Let me read it.

No, it's not the problem of amount. I am doing the same type of work for another channels and they will provide all true copies at my convinience. These people are rigid but they offered me a higher remuneration than others. That's why i am sticking with this.

A little more explanation. 'A' will give the true copy to 'B' right befor 5 days of telecasting. My job is to translate the dialouge. And 'B''s job is to dub the video. They need 3 days for recording and mixing. But i need 10 days to write the dialouges. So 'B' will send me the captured copy and when i finished writing , they will work with the original copy. So i am only one who suffer with the captured copy. 'B' don't want to talk about 'A' for this matter. 'B' 's channel authorities are satisfied because they will get the program finished by right time.

A simple Hello world program contains a button and a texbox sized 14.5 MB in Lazarus.

I think you are mistaken. I said AutoIt is not supporting OOP. Not pascal. I know pascal is a good language and now i am making a test program in lazarus for testing its options to make an exe.

@SA, Pascal in Lazarus is in my list. If i didn't get a better result, then i will choose pascal. Now i am doing my little project in AutoIt. You can simply make anything with it. But it is not supporting OOP. It has a GUI designer. And you know, we can play with WIn APIs easily in AutoIt.

No.. i never go for python. It is easy but not easy for develop a gui. It will drag me to 1970 style programming. Complete blindness. If you write code for a button and place it in an imaginary position. And after run it once, you will realize that it is a wrong position. And you change the pos and again run. What a pity ? I have Lazarus. But pascal's syntax make me weird feeling. Anyhow, it is a good option.

My program weighs 1 MB or below 1 MB. Frame work weighs 100 MB + i think.

Apart from what vesion xp can afford, i need to know, what version xp have.

Thanks for the reply. So you mean, when i start making a project, i need to use the lowest frame work version if i am aiming xp users. Right ?

Hi @OriginalGriff, THanks for the reply. I hate languages which uses '{}'. And i don't care if i stuck with basic. Because, i didn't want to work for an MNC. I am coding for my own happiness and my own interests.

If my client has access to internet but what about they don't want to download such a giant framework ?. I only expect microsoft to give an option for combining the giant frame work files to my installer so that my client won't bothered anymore.

@Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov, I don't like {} using languages. I like to make simple applications. Anyhow, thanks for your reply

Thank you @KrunalRohit. But i am using VS2013.

Thank you @Abhinav

Thank you @Richard

Ok. i will keep it in my mind.

Infact, you pointed me to the right dirction. For me that is the solution. After all, i am the learner. so i need to go through the path you pointed. Anyway, it's nice to meet you in this forum. I am a hobby programmer. I do make programs for my own purpose and for learning.

@Ralf Meier,
I have succeeded. I used Thread. First of all, i have created a private sub and put my text catching function inside do loop in that sub. And then start a new thread with AddressOf that private sub in form load. Voila !. I don't knew that this is this much simple. Thank you for guiding me to threading. You pointed me the right direction. And ofcource, threading is so simple. Thanks a lot. :)

Hi, I will sure inform you the results. Now, i am learning more about BackgroundWorker vs Thread. I have found a good article in code prejct. Thanks for the support.

Hi, my experiments with BackgroundWorker class was a failed. It gave me the result only once. But i need my program should monitor what the user types in ms word. And then i tried with Timer. It was a success but it gave me result in each timer tick intervel. (in my case it is 100ms) But ijust want to get the word when user press a space key. So i have addedd the GetAsyncKeypress function to this program. Now i am getting words when user presses spacebar. My qustion is - Is this the best method to do this ?. Any suggestions for improve ?

Hi Ralf Meier,
The code is now giving the good result. But Now, the problem is how can i run this function when my form1 is not in focus. BackgroundWorker class give only one word. And then it stopped. I don't know how to use it in a loop.

@Ralf Meier, I just created a function for getting words behind the cursor. But it is giving just one word only. I will show you the code. Here is the Link.
http://pastebin.com/CQwAaBU0

Some notes about this code
1. I have tested BackeGroundWorker class. But i don't know how use it effectively. It gave me only a single word. I don't know how to use it inside a loop for monitoring what user types in word.
2. I have used GetAsyncKeystate function inside this code. It is only for testing. Because, i want to examine if my code is working properly. Please ask me if you want any other info. Thanks

@Ralf Meier,
I have tried it in a timer's tick event. But it shows me a dialoge box in word that the search is finish and there is no word like "MyGivenWord". I think it is searching through the document. I only meant to find text just behind the cursor. Not to search the whole document.

Thanks. I hope your suggestion will work. Let me try it. Once again thank you for the guidance. In your last comment, you said "Background worker or a thread". I need to study more on that.

Ok, if user types a word in word document, my program continously monitoring what he types and search that word in a database. If text on the left side of the cursor matches to the text in database column1, then my program select the range and replace the text with a text from database column2. For getting speed replaces, i am planning to open the database at starting time and load the columns into an array.
I forgot to add an example. here it is;
assume my array (or dictionary) contains these two text -
array(0,0) = "Perso"
array(0,1) = "Personal Experience"
When user types "P", program checks for "P" in array. And when program finds that array(0,0) and text from word document is same, then it will paste the array(0,1) to word.

As i said earlier, the scripting language i have learned, has a function like this; "Word_DocRangeSet(Object, cursor pos, word, Backward, One word)".
Params -
1 = Word object
2 = Range start area (in this case, it is cursor position)
3 = Select a word or char or line or paragraph (in this case a word)
4 = Move selection backward or forward (in this case backward)
5 = How many words to select (in this case one word).
This function will return a range object. We then can get the text of that particular area and we can select that text, replace that text and so on.
See this, i can easily customize what i need. I don't find anything user firendly like this in vb.net.

Without a loop, how do i know what the user types now. And if i don't need a loop then, do i need to add this code inside a timer's tick event ?

@Ralf Meier,
Thank you for this solution. Well, i have to put this "Selection.Find" inside a loop. Anyway, let me try. I will sure inform you.

Sure. Thank you

Who are the voters ? i didn't do anything

Thank you. Let me try. :)

@Ralf Meier , I am planning to make a text expander for word. I know there is autocorrect. But autocorrect will change mt formatted text's font aftre a restart. So i decided to make one. If user types "prod", then my program catch that string and compare it with an array. If array contains a full text of "prod" then it will select the word "prod" and replace it with new text. I hope i have made the point clear.
