• Windows Forms How do I incorporate the Auto-indent feature in TextBox?

  Okay, I want to make a very simple code editor without having to do much work. The TextBox was doing fine, until I realized I just couldn't do without the Auto-indent feature. Maybe not as advanced as our VC# editor, but atleast that which automatically inserts the indentation of the current line into the next line when I press Enter. Does anybody know if there is some kinda enable feature in the TextBox class Can anybody tell me a fastest way of doing this Hi, Furqan By default, the collection of lines is a read-only copy of the lines in the TextBox. To get a writable collection of lines, use code similar to the following: textBox1.Lines = new string[] { "abcd" }; Pls reference to: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library ...Show All
