End Function
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
FindPalRooms()
RoomRefresh()
End Sub

Private Sub cbxRoomName_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cbxRoomName.SelectedIndexChanged

End Sub

but when I call it with RoomRefresh() sht dont work 🙄

K figure how to get the text after using this : by changing this UserNic = Mid$(LineIn, 1, X – 1) to UserNic = Mid$(LineIn, X + 1)

    Private Function GetUserPostingText(ByVal LineIn As String) As String

Dim X As Integer

Dim UserNic As String

' Remove TimeStamp if it is present

LineIn = StripTime(LineIn)

' look for : in text

If InStr(LineIn, ":") Then

' Get index of :

X = InStr(1, LineIn, ":")

' Get all text before :

UserNic = Mid$(LineIn, X + 1)

' Remove leading and trailing spaces

UserNic = UserNic.Trim()

' Return found nic

Return UserNic

Else

' no nic found

Return String.Empty

End If

End Function

🙂 so the only issue I got is the need to focus the program for it to work 🙄
