Three simples questions

I am not really good with the GUI. :sick:

1. I have done something with my controls,becouse for all the new label and Textbox i add to a form, i am not able to change its height only the width.Hoewer, i can do it with my all controls in the same form. Does anyone know Why?

2. How can a change the color of a labels border.?

Sorry, another question:

3. How can i open a txt file from a VB app. ?

Thanks,
Álvaro

1. Set the Textbox's multiline property to true.

2. I don't think that's possible, but hey, I'm new too. :)

3.

VB Code:

Dim sr As StreamReader
        Dim s As String
 
        sr = File.OpenText(System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath & "\append-e.log")
        s = sr.ReadToEnd
        sr.Close()
        TextBox1.Text = s

Forgot to mention that you need to import the IO class before the form1 class.

imports system.io

I'm not at my Dev computer right now but I remember the function that does this :

VB Code:

ControlPaint.DrawBorder(.........)

You might create your own control or override the OnPaint event of the form.
