Thank you!

Could possibly contain quotes but no newline chars. I was trying to give my old spell checker a facelift. I wanted to use the WebView2 for the error text ("Not In Dictionary"). It's one line from the text editor with the error highlighted. So I'd need to send it the error start/end positions plus tell it to scroll to that position. All easily done if I could figure out how to send it a value in a variable.

I'm using WebView2 to display data in my app. If I send a string literal it works fine. But if I send a value in a variable I get nothing. This works:

wb.ExecuteScriptAsync("document.body.innerHTML=" & ChrW(39) & "HELLO" & ChrW(39))

This doesn't ("lStr" is my string variable):

wb.ExecuteScriptAsync("document.body.innerHTML=" & ChrW(39) & lStr & ChrW(39))

I assume I'm doing something wrong here. Any advice is appreciated.

Once I got my memory jogged I remembered it clearly. Where I was using it way back when (Houston, TX) it was green bar. But it's likely that it had other names, too.

Thank you! I was at least close with "green band." For me it was using a Wang OIS with that giant 4 megabyte hard drive.

Back in the 80s when we had noisy dot matrix printers with continuous paper feed from a stack on the floor... What was that green-striped paper called? Was it "green band?" When I Google it I get all manner of "green" products and political BS. I did find one picture of the paper but the blurb was about the printer not the paper. Anyone remember what it was called? I'm adding a couple of style options to a DataGridView and want to use the name of that paper for an option with alternating row colors. TIA. :)

Good information. I'm about to go printer shopping myself. :)

Way back I had a TI 99-4A. Loved that little machine. Still have the BASIC programming guide as a keepsake. Also a TRS-80 Model 100 portable, which I guess was the first laptop computer. Worked on a gob of D batteries and had a big old 4 line / 40 column screen. It's in my closet and still works if I spend a fortune on batteries.

I'm using ToolStripProfessionalRenderer to customize a toolstrip. The toolstrip buttons are generated programmatically as needed. The program starts with three buttons. I'm using a LinearGradientBrush to paint the ToolStripButtons, but only the first one (left) gets the gradient. Using the renderer is new to me, so I'm probably missing something obvious.

Private Sub menuRndr_RenderButtonBackground _
(sender As Object, e As ToolStripItemRenderEventArgs) _
Handles Me.RenderButtonBackground
Try
If e.ToolStrip.Equals(main.tabs) Then
Dim p As New Pen(Brushes.Black, 1)

			Dim lgb As New LinearGradientBrush(e.Item.Bounds,
											   Color.SteelBlue,
											   Color.WhiteSmoke,
											   LinearGradientMode.Vertical)

			e.Graphics.FillRectangle(lgb, e.Item.Bounds)

			e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(p,
									 New Rectangle(New Point(e.Item.Bounds.Left, e.Item.Bounds.Top),
												   New Size(e.Item.Bounds.Width, e.Item.Bounds.Height)))
		End If
		MyBase.OnRenderItemBackground(e)
	Catch ex As Exception
		MsgBox(ex.ToString)
	End Try
End Sub

The 100x zoom was a deal breaker. I really appreciate the info. :)

I'm entertaining a similar interest, for myself and 2 teenage grandsons. I haven't touched a microscope since the 70s but I'm wanting a new hobby for my declining elderly golden years. Main interest would be protozoa, grains of various minerals, etc that displays to my computer screen. This is the one I'm leaning toward buying: Click[^] Looks like a good one to my inexperienced eye but any opinions are appreciated.

I didn't realize that. Thank you. I was thinking in terms of the For Each loop in VB.

I'm learning to script an application with ClearScript. My program is a tabbed text editor and the idea is to have access to all the open files via a List. For scripting, the program opens a separate window (so that the script is not part of the scriptable collection). Results are written to a second textbox. And there is where I discovered the problem. At present I'm just having the Javascript display the "FilePath" property of each item in the collection. This works fine with this script:

parent.OutPut.Text="";
var i;
var y=0;
for (i = 0; i < parent.OpenFiles.Count; i++) {
y += 1
parent.OutPut.Text += y + " " + parent.OpenFiles[i].FilePath + "\r\n";

}
parent.OutPut.Text += parent.OpenFiles.Count;

I get the following correct result in the textbox: 1 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\Transfer\From Toshiba\Projects\alanburkhart.com\WikipediaCrimeData_RawText.txt 2 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\Transfer\From Toshiba\Projects\alanburkhart.com\conspiracytheory.html 3 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\Transfer\From Toshiba\Projects\alanburkhart.com\USConsSearch.html 4 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\Transfer\From Toshiba\Projects\alanburkhart.com\wordley.html 5 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\new 1.txt 6 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\10Comms.txt 7 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\testfile.txt 8 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\Transfer\From Toshiba\TestSpellChecker.txt 9 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\Projects\NetPadd2 Help Files\AdntlRsc.html 10 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\Projects\NetPadd2 Help Files\intro.html 11 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\ForLoop.js 12 untitled_2.txt 13 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\ForEach.js 13 ("13" is the number of items in the collection.) However, if I use this script:

parent.OutPut.Text="";
var x;
var i=0
for (x in parent.OpenFiles) {
i+=1
parent.OutPut.Text += i + " " + parent.OpenFiles[x].FilePath + "\r\n";}
parent.OutPut.Text += parent.OpenFiles.Count;

I get the following result: 1 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\Transfer\From Toshiba\Projects\alanburkhart.com\WikipediaCrimeData_RawText.txt 2 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\Transfer\From Toshiba\Projects\alanburkhart.com\conspiracytheory.html 3 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\Transfer\From Toshiba\Projects\alanburkhart.com\USConsSearch.html 4 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\Transfer\From Toshiba\Projects\alanburkhart.com\wordley.html 5 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\new 1.txt 6 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\10Comms.txt 7 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\testfile.txt 8 C:\Users\Alan\Documents\Transfer\From Toshiba\TestSpellChecker.txt 9 C:\

Back in the 80s I tried my hand at assembly. At the time my only programming experience was with TI Basic on a little home computer. After a few days (daze) I finally managed to put a 8x8 colored square on the TV screen. That was the end of my "career" with assembly. :-D

I use .Trim a lot but never thought about needing it for the title bar of a form. Still curious about how it happened but I doubt I'll ever know.

Yep. We finally figured that out. Thing is it was filled with spaces past the text. No clue how that happened.

OK, where the heck did all the spaces come from? Never encountered that before. Thank you! :-D
