Checking if EditText is Empty

[cbanks]

Right now I have the following code to detect if the EditText is blank. It works if there are no carriage returns. What should the code look like to detect the EditText is blank if there is nothing in the box other than carriage returns? Thanks.

If EditTextNotes.Text = "" Then

Something like this:

Content = EditTextNotes.Text
If Content.Lenght = 0 Then

I usually use VariableName.Text.Length to see how long a string is

If it is longer than zero then you can read it and check for chr(10)

Or use regex to check for any character other than chr(10), the "." does this.

If Replace(EditTextNotes.Text, CRLF, "") <> "" Then [it has some text]

I haven't tested this, but I think that's how Replace works. (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.)

You can check:

If EditText1.Text.Trim.Length = 0 Then ...

You can check:

If EditText1.Text.Trim.Length = 0 Then ...

If the text is " " & CRLF & " ", will Trim get rid of the CRLF as well as the spaces? If so, I don't think this is mentioned in the docs.

Yes.
