VB Question
I have what I can only assume is a dumb beginner's question about VB. In
fact, it's a set of what I can only assume are interrelated questions. To
be fair (to myself), I have, indeed, read the manual, but I just cant
figure out what to do.
What I'm trying to do is this: I have a form to be used to enter a name
and address, up to 5 lines. So I created a five-line control array with
five identical text boxes. So far, so good. You can enter text on all
five lines, but have to press TAB to get from the end of one line to the
start of the next, since the Enter key is not recognized (it just generates
a beep). So I seem to need to write a "KeyPress" subroutine to look for
the Enter key (ASCII 13) and then go to the start of the next line.
Question: How do I get to the beginning of the next line? To phrase the
same question a different way: how do I "internally generate" a Tab
character?
Related Question: more generally, how do I cause the cursor to go to some
arbitrary spot of my choosing?
Another related example: the user enters all five lines, then realizes
they wish to wipe out line 3. So I wrote a (simple) routine to clear line
3 (obviously, by setting its .text characteristic = ""). But now I want to
put the cursor back to the beginning of the line so the user can retype the
line. How do I do that?
Thanks in advance for your help.
