I am interested in what jmcilhinney suggested. Can anyone provide code samples of how to inherit a control, and how to override the OnPaint Method?

Not sure why I never thought to sort the array myself and leave the ComboBox unsorted. This now works well for me. Thanks so much for your input.

It would appear that setting element 0 of my ComboBox to "(choose)" won't work because I need to have my ComboBox sorted. I don't want "(choose)" to show up anywhere else in the Drop-down list other than the very first item. Or am I missing something?

I have an issue that I've not yet been able to resolve. I've spent a couple weeks reviewing several forums and help sites and have not yet been able to get exactly what I need. I've had great luck in the past in this forum, and I'm hoping you all can help again. I need to be able to set the...

Thanks everyone for your help. It now works as I needed.

Thank you for the lengthy and helpful reply. Sadly, when using your code, I end up with the same output as what I originally had. What's confusing is that my textbox is 40 x 304, and the width of my test string is 326. How can that be? Here are the details: FONT - Microsoft Sans Serif...

I'm trying to find the best way to get the length of each line in a multi-line textbox. I'm trying to use , but I'm not having much luck. Does anyone have any examples of using MeasureString, using the returned value of the parameter? I just want to pass it the dimensions of my textbox and...

Although this does work if you change the font to Courier New, there must be a more generic way to handle it, regardless of the font. Can anyone help with that? I'd like to keep my font Microsoft Sans Serif, if possible. Thanks!

Sorry about the lack of formatting. I'll make note of it for future posts. After spending some time on it, I now have this working exactly as I want. I first had to change the font of my textbox to be Courier New, so every character was the same spacing. For my example, I had a textbox that...

I did some searching an another form, and found this, which does mostly work. The only remaining issue I have is to disable wordwrap (which would allow a 3rd line of text in my example). Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) _...

Is there a way to control the number of lines in a multi-line textbox. I want to have just one textbox and let it be only 2 lines max, but I need to allow the user to press "enter" to display text on the next line. Any thoughts?

I have created forms that may have scrollbars on them, depending on what the user's screen resolution is set to. I already have existing logic that prints the forms just fine from my computer (with higher resolution and no scrollbars), but how do I ensure that when a "print" button is clicked...

I had posted this in the general discussion, but I later found a forum specifically for forms, so I wanted to get people's input here. Through a bit of research, I've been able to figure out how to print an entire active form through the click of a button. Now what I'm trying to do is the...

Through a bit of research, I've been able to figure out how to print an entire active form through the click of a button. Now what I'm trying to do is the following scenario: 1) Click a button on form A 2) Have that button click call form B, passing in some parameters 3) Have form B display...
