RichTextBox Reader with a Timer










0















I have a Button that shows an OpenFileDialog, so I can pick a .txt file and show it in RichTextBox1.

I want that when I press Go, the text file is read line by line with 5 sec delay and show each line read in Label4.



I have 5 lines in test.txt file. Now I choose this file from my software that I'm working on and when I choose this file its place the result of my test.txt file into the RichTextBox.



I want that when I click Go, it reads line 1 for 5 sec and when read it, show it in Label4. Then, after 5 seconds, it starts reading line 2 and show it in Label4 and so on until all lines are read.



Here is my code:



Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Public Class Form1

<Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("wininet.dll", SetLastError:=True)>
Private Shared Function InternetSetOption(ByVal hInternet As IntPtr, ByVal dwOption As Integer, ByVal lpBuffer As IntPtr, ByVal lpdwBufferLength As Integer) As Boolean
End Function

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub

Public Structure Struct_INTERNET_PROXY_INFO
Public dwAccessType As Integer
Public proxy As IntPtr
Public proxyBypass As IntPtr
End Structure

Private Sub UseProxy(ByVal strProxy As String)
Const INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY As Integer = 38
Const INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PROXY As Integer = 3

Dim struct_IPI As Struct_INTERNET_PROXY_INFO

struct_IPI.dwAccessType = INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PROXY
struct_IPI.proxy = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(strProxy)
struct_IPI.proxyBypass = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi("local")

Dim intptrStruct As IntPtr = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(Marshal.SizeOf(struct_IPI))

Marshal.StructureToPtr(struct_IPI, intptrStruct, True)
Dim iReturn As Boolean = InternetSetOption(IntPtr.Zero, INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY, intptrStruct, System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf(struct_IPI))
End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

Label4.Text = (RichTextBox1.Text)
UseProxy(Label4.Text)
WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox3.Text)
End Sub

Private Sub Button3_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
If (OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK) Then
RichTextBox1.Text = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
End If
End Sub
End Class

    Why are you showing us all this proxy code if the question is about looping through the RichTextBox Lines property with a timer? Hint: use a timer.

    The problem is that you don't have any code to do any of what you said you wanted except to load the contents of a text file into a RichTextBox. Please edit your question to show the code that attempts to display a line every 5 seconds and remove the code that has nothing to do with the question.

Add a Timer to your form in the designer, set the interval then handle the Timer.Tick event.



Private Sub Button3_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Timer1.Interval = 5000
Timer1.Start()
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Static i As Integer
If i < RichTextBox1.Lines.Count Then
Label1.Text = RichTextBox1.Lines(i)
i += 1
Else
Label1.Text = ""
Timer1.Stop()
End If
End Sub
