[ Sorry for my bad English. Because i am weak in English. ]

I want to make a string replacing software.

which word have to replace it will save in a txt or xml file.

example: original=a replace=am replace+shift=all

it means when i will press 'a' it will type 'am' and when i will press 'a+shift' it will type 'all'.

there must be an enable and disable option for that in ComboBox.

How to do that???

Your English isn't too bad - but your question is!
The folk here are generally happy to help you if you have a specific problem - have tried something and are stuck, or are getting an error you cannot figure out.
They generally aren't here to just write a program for you.
If you _have_ tried something then post the code & say what specific problems you are having - then people will be able to help you.

What happens when you want to type "a lazy dog" and your program is running, and what appears on screen is "am lamzy dog" ? Or, you wish to type "10:34AM," and what appears on screen is "10:34allM" ?

yes

yes, indeed ! do you mean that for each letter you want replaced, as it is typed, there will be one substitution for the lower-case letter, and another substitution if the shift-key is pressed before the letter is typed (or if Caps-Lock is on) ?

no doubt this can be done: what have you tried so far ? what do you need help with ?

Assuming you will be using a textbox to enter the strings, On the textChanged event of the textbox do a within a if combobox.value ==, if contains for each character entered into the textbox and then set the textbox value to that of the textbox value.Replace().
Hope that helps you get in the right direction.
Any more help you will need to show your code of what you have done

1. Choose an IDE
2. Create a Window or dialog-based application
3. Add a menu or control to select a file
4. Add code to the function that is triggered when calling that command: this code should open a file dialog box.
5. Add controls to enter the strings that should be found and replaced
6. Add a menu or control to start replacing strings within the selected file.
7. Add code to the function triggered by this menu or control: it should verify that you did select a file and enter find replace strings. If either entry is missing, pop up an error message. Else open the file and replace stuff.

That's about as detailed I am going to be at this point, since you failed to provide any information as to which of these steps you are having problems with, or whether you have even started on any of them!
