Such a simple question someone should slap me...

[Anjari]

Ok I am quite sure this is very simple!

When designing a form and I am typing the text... I like to see my text actualy change on the form while I am typing... (You know like it did in VB6) Is there a way to turn that on????

Example: Label6 on a form would not continue to show the text Label6 while I am typing "THIS IS MY LABEL" in the text area under properties.

Also when using Shortcuts.... Example: &File - WHERE IS MY LINE!!!


Additional Note: Thanks for everyones help even when it comes to stupid questions such as this...

as simple as this

Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender _
 As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
        Me.Text = TextBox1.Text
    End Sub

I dont think thats what he means Pirate. He wants the text to change as he is typing in label.Text properties windows at design time. Anyway, I think MS changed that, so you have to hit enter and tab before the new text show up. As for the line under the the shortcut keys, you have to press alt before they show up. I read somewhere that this is a feature of the OS (win2000/winXp).

Yes it is a new feature. To turn it off, just open your display properties (right-click on the desktop and select properties). Go to the Appearance tab and click the Effects button. There is a check box on the bottom that you unselect to turn off this 'feature'.

ok thanks for the advice on the short cut....

any idea on showing text in the label as im typing or do I still have to watch it in the small properties section?

Thanks,

Did you try what DevGrp and hellswraith said? It seems the only way to do that , otherwise this can't be done.
