The Visual Basic text box is a very simple text box. Normally, if you want features you could really call standard, you'd have to go commercial. For example, insert and overstrike mode is very necessary for good text editing. The Visual Basic text box control doesn't support overstrike -- just insert mode. Or does it? However indirectly, you can easily implement overstrike mode AND insert mode. At the press of the Insert key, the mode changes! This is a demonstration written in Visual Basic 3.0 on how to implement overstrike mode and insert mode. While you could probably through some API call or another, change the cursor to the block for overstrike mode, the demo doesn't do this. Just press the insert key and you can toggle back and forth between the different modes This is public domain. You may use it, modify it, destroy it, or do whatever you wish with it, but I, Daniel Trimble, nor the distributers of it (namely online services, BBS', etc.), or anyone having anything do with the production or distribution of TextBox Plus are at fault for anything.
