.net - Enabled Scrollbar In A Disabled Textbox For WinForms?
Jun 3, 2012
I'm trying to allow scrolling in a Multiline-TextBox even if the TextBox is set to
textbox.Enabled = False
This is not possible, as the Scrollbar is disabled with the Enabled-Command, too.The default solution here is to set
textbox.ReadOnly = True
textbox.Enabled = True
but this doesn't really do the trick for me. With ReadOnly I can still select the text of a TextBox as well as place the cursor inside of it. But as I have normal (non Multiline-TextBoxes) and other controls on the same form I don't want that to happen. I want to have exactly the same behavior as all the other disabled TextBoxes.
For everything else, like mimic the color of a disabled textbox and so on, there is a legitimate workaround with the ReadOnly-Property, but I coudn't find any for selecting text and placing the cursor.
UPDATE:I tried to use WIN32 API but it didn't work as expected:
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class TestTextBox

Put a Datagridview on a form, fill it with data. dgv1.enabled = True and dgv1.enabled = False are almost the same look to the eye unlike other controls (textbox,combo, listview, etc ...) where there back color changed to light grey and you can distinguish if that control is enabled or disabled but not for Datagridview.

I am trying to check whether the button is enabled or disabled. I am doing the following
Assert.IsTrue(Browser.IsEditable(button))
but it gives me error that expression does not produce a value. Any one know how to achieve this. Currently I am using VS2010 MStest in vb.net.

I'm trying to display the network adapters on the computer running this application.
For that I want to be able to display all network adapters, no matter which status they have. Then I want to be able to enable and disable the adapters by pushing a button.
I've tried using System.Net.NetworkInformation, but it seems as though it only contains the one that's active.

I am making a configuration screen so that an administrator can easily determine what controls on a form are enabled according to a combo selection.
I have created a table (SQL2008 DB) to store the settings and need ideas how I can best implement.
The session form will start up normal with only a few controls enabled to start, but then when the user selects a "session type" from a drop down combo then the form will be configured for that type. Because there may be several different combinations, and I do want to offer the user the ability to add and configure more types as needed I feel like this may be the best method instead of hard coding.
Table Structure
SessionType varchar(25) not null PK
ControlSwitch varchar(50) Not Null
(Edit: I may add an additional DB field so that I can specify the default value of a control also)
Now what I thought I would do on the config form is have a series of combo boxes and the label represent each control with a value of True or False, then when saved it builds a string like example 1,1,0,1,0,1,1,1 or True, True, False etc.
The string would represent
ctrl1=on, ctrl2=on,ctrl3=off,ctrl4=on,ctrl5=off,ctrl6=on,ctrl7=on,ctrl8=on and so on.

can i use an inverse notation in the databindings to enabled or disabled one checkbox?I have a form that has several controls binded, and if i have true in one field in the database i need to check checkbox and disabled it.Something like:
vb.net
chk.DataBindings.Add("checked", bs, "MyDBFieldBool")
chk.DataBindings.Add("enabled", bs, "MyDBFieldBool")
This can be done directly?

So with the stock Textbox, I set the Scrollbars property to Vertical. This is great if the text in my box never changes; I can scroll up and down while the box sits still. If I'm running a background operation that logs output to the box though, the scrollbar resets itself to the top every time I append text to the box.
I know I can set the Textbox.Selection property (or use the Select method) to reposition the carat in the textbox, make note of that position in a variable, then append text, reset the carat, and use the ScrollToCarat method to reposition the scrollbar where it belongs. That's a really (ridiculously) long way around. Anybody know if there's another/better way of holding the scrollbar position, short of actually building a custom control (or using a Textbox and a separate Scrollbar)? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.

I'm using a DataGridView in VB.Net in VS 2005. The issue is, when there are rows that exceed the width of the DataGridView, the horizontal scroll bar doesn't appear (the ScrollBars property is set to "Both"), but an ellipsis appears at the end of each row that is too long. I don't want the ellipsis, but the horizontal scroll bar. The vertical scroll bar works as expected when the number of rows exceed the height of the DataGridView.
I have tried setting numerous related properties (changing the AutoSizing property of the DataGridView, Resizability of the Row Template, made sure that no Columns were Frozen) to no avail.

I have a thumbnail control where I am adding Images using openfiledialog and after adding it automatically scrolls down.
So I would like to stop scrolling the scrollbar and just append the Images.
I have tried using this code:
Thumbcontrol1.VerticalScroll.Value=0
It worked fine but the scrollbar is at the bottom and it shows me the first row of Images.
And this is my second attempt by doing this way:
I have just set the autoscroll property to false and it hides the scrollbars and I'm stuck with this so how do I scroll the remaining Images?
And Is there any other method to hide scrollbars and just scroll the Images using mouse? Or any other simpler way to get rid of this?

I have a multi-line textBox disabled through vb.net :
myTxtA.enabled= false
The html it outputs :
<textarea name="myTxtA" rows="10" id="myTxtA" disabled="disabled" style="width:99%;">
...
</textarea>
That's the source code I get through the browser but the textArea is still editable in the browser. There is no javascript modifying myTxtA, and the only other reference to myTxtA in my codeFile is the following :
If somethingNotHappeningHere Then
myTxtA.ReadOnly = True
End If
I can't see why my textarea is still editable. Can the class of the div containing the textArea modify its behaviour ?
PS: I am not concerned about if the data is sent or not. I'm just looking for the textArea to be uneditable.
Edit: Same problem on IE7 and Firefox 3.5
Edit 2: When I copy all the html source from my browser into a new html file the textarea is properly disabled...

I have a TextBox control with a lot of text which has a vertical scrollbar, and every time I hide/show the control the position of the scrollbar stays the same. I'm trying to figure out how to change the position of the scrollbar to the top of the textbox, as if it were at the beginning of the text.

I guess in simpler terms what I am trying to do is get the post value of a disabled textbox to use in a SQL insert statement when the form is posted. I need to get the value of a text box that is disabled with javascript. Ultimately I will use the value as a parameter of a SQL insert statement. I have read that I need to get the value by doing something like this:

As some of you are aware of, I am fairly new to VB.NET. I am trying to learn as much as I can. I have a textbox which is set to multiline. It's setup to accept a maximum of 500 characters (10 lines of 50). First of all, since it's size is fixed, how can I remove the right bar on the left as im not using it (the scrolling bar).
#2, once a user click on a button, I disable the textbox and display the text. I can set the background color, however it looks like when the textbox is disabled, text is gray and can't be changed. A fix I found is to use a label and hide the textbox, but are there any easier way ?
