  I need advise. This is the only version that will build BI Objects against an AS/400 database. We have several developers that will use this version to develop BI Objects. Since the cost of license is high, we decide to only place it on one server to see if in facts works against the AS/400. We'll it does and that the great part. The problem is this.

• NewbieDude Thanks. I found an even better way.

  I'd like to have a Rich Textbox automatically zoom out (using the .zoom method) if the horizontal or vertical scroll bar is present. But, there doesn't apear to be any way to DETECT whether the scroll bar is being displayed. Anyone have any suggestions Is there any way to detect whether the (my terminology is rusty here) HScroll (or Vscroll) event handler is "attached" to the control (those events are triggered by the user clicking on the scroll bar, so the events themselves aren't helpful. However, I'm thinking that maybe the event handler would only be attached if scroll bars were actually present). .Scrollbars only determines what type of scrollbars are ALLOWED to be displayed (none, w ...Show All

• Ralph Morton Highlighting Text

  What I would like to do, is suggest possible answers for the user, as they're entering data, by finishing their word, and highlighting the text, so they can keep typing if they want, or just hit enter and it will provide them with the results. I need to know how to highlight the part they haven't typed yet. I'm guessing there is a fairly easy way to do it, I just dont know it If you are working in the 1.1/1.0 world still you can always try an AutoComplete ComboBox like this one on Code Project , otherwise in the 2.0 world you can use the built in functionality in the regular ComboBox control.
