.net - Setting A Textchanged Event To Only Fire When Text Is Actually Entered By User Not Program?
Mar 29, 2012
Windows forms Application. VB .NET 4.0 In my application I have a global boolean variable that keeps track of when changes are made and when they are saved called changesSaved. On closing even it checks the value of this variable before closing the window.. I am using textchanged event to automatically change the value of changesSaved to FALSE when text is changed.. Problem: The group box items are being populated dynamically so the user can edit the values or simply just view them. This dynamic population is causing the textchanged event to fire because the program is changing the text value of the box to put the values in that are stored in the database. The textchanged event should not fire unless the user him or herself enters a value or values in the text boxes..
Is there a way to specify the source i guess you could say for the text changed event or another way so that it will only fire when the user inputs information.??? Functions are as follows: The first is called by the load event to place the values in the box... The next one is the one that is being called as a result of the first one and is also the one that is causing the problems.
I have a Textbox on my application that recieves data from another application via a sendmessage call from the other app.
I can see the data being entered in the textbox but the TextChanged event never fires when the text changes. I need to process the data that is sent but since the event does not fire I'm kinda stuck..
Is there a way to find out if the "TextChanged" event is fired because the user is typing into a textbox or the programmer called myTextBox.Text = "something"? I don't want to react when the user is typing each letter into the textbox so I am using the "Validated" event to catch when the user is done so I can react. The problem is I don't have a way to catch when the programmer does "myTextbox.Text = "something". The only way I know to catch changes there is to use TextChanged but then I don't want to be reacting when the user is typing each letter into the textbox.
I am having a problem getting my prgram to reclaculate upon a Textchanged event. it works fine on LostFocus, not sure what I am missing here is my code..[code]
I have a TextBox control being used to capture an IPAddress from the user.I want to be able to allow them to change that IPAddres at which point the new value will be utilized by the appropriate .NET socket class to ping that new address.What other event is used with TextChanged to indicate that the user is done making changes to the TextBox. The Leave Event?
I have a user control (SomeUserControl), that I am using in a Main Window. I write my application entirely on SomeUserControl, and Main Window is hosting SomeUserControl and nothing else.
Right now I have a shutdown button (in SomeUserControl), that is supposed to close the Main Window. The reason for this is that I do not want anything from SomeUserControl to close the application itself, but to fire an event from SomeUserControl, and Main Window receives it, and Main Window will close the application instead of SomeUserControl.
How do I do it? I am not familiar with the concept of creating and handling custom events, so if someone could explain it in words and in code as an example, I will be very grateful to you!
Edit: Here's my code so far.
(in Window 2)
Public Event CloseApp As EventHandler Private Sub CancelButton_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles CancelButton.Click DialogResult = False
[Code]....
I want to close the application when I click cancel in Window 2, but I don't want to do it in such a way that Window 2 closes itself, but by sending some notification to Main Window, and Main Window closes the application.
I'm trying to validate a few things in a form I'm building. It has a datagrid with clients info (taken from an access database) and a few textboxes where the user can type some search criteria. The thing is that those same textboxes are used to add new clients to the database and to modify a client's information if one from the datagrid is selected, so I made it that the buttons to insert and modify clients are disabled on load and thenevery time the text on a textbox changes ("TextChanged" event) they become enabled. So far so good. But then I wanted to make it so when a client from the datagrid is selected both buttons become disabled again until the text on a textbox changes (to make sure they're adding a different client and not the same one that was selected).
I tried using the CellClick event from the datagrid to disable the buttons, but since every time a client is selected from the datagrid the info is shown on the textboxes, this triggers the TextChanged event too, and the buttons become available.So, is there a way I can tell the TextChanged event not to be triggered when the CellClick event occurs?

I am building a search engine in vb.net which would have to search for a word entered by the user in 40 text files within the project directory. It should return the results as the total number of matches (text files) and the number of times this word is in each file.
the project here is to take the three amounts from three text boxes entered by the user and return a string in a label telling the user if the triangle is either a right triangle, equilateral triangle, or neither after clicking a button. The code I have must use a new Class named Triangle. No matter what is entered in the text boxes, the label always returns "You created a right triangle!"
Here is what I'm trying to do: When Button1 is clicked, I want an Excel file created and saved into a default folder (the user does not choose the folder...code for Button1_Click will choose the folder), and the file name will be the text that the user enters into TextBox1.
Im trying to create a program that takes an amount entered by the user and then convert it into Half Dollars, quarters, dimes, nickles, and pennies when the calculate button is clicked. Each coin has its own function and is shown in separate text boxes... right now i cant get it to work correctly. When i try to get half dollars to work it rounds up and then the rest of the coins say 0. How should i do this?
I want to access (read/write) the user entered text for a document.The document text is housed inside a CONTENTEDITABLE DIV tag within a html document.The html document is loaded into the webbrowser object (webbrowser.navigate(path and filename)).When the html document (bulletin.htm) loads,An error is popped up such as ACCESS DENIED to toolbar.htc and menu.htc And the toolbar and menubar are missing or corrupted.I have tried to generate the code for the document using the code below.
Function ScriptEditorHeader() As String Dim sBuf As String = Nothing sBuf = "" sBuf = sBuf & "<html "
When I read a value from text box I want to make sure user has entered a number(int/float/double etc.) not a string. Is there any function to check it? otherwise how do i validate it.
I want to set the TextChanged event in NumericUpDown box,so that when you press a key, it instantly fires the textchanged event.The default ValueChanged event of the NumericUpDown box does not instantly fire the ValueChanged event. You need to first press the Enter key after you enter a number.And I read somewhere that NumericUpDown box also has a TextChanged event.How do I set the TextChanged event in the NumericUpDown box?
How can I bypass the TextChanged event if I populate the textbox during loading?for exampleWhen the VB Win form application starts it loads several text boxes with deflt information.thus firing the TextChanged event. (which I don't want to happen)
i have one project any one textbox.i want to get the textbox value without textchanged event how to get the textbox value. means when i change the textbox value then the text changed event is fired but when i clicked one another textbox at that time i want to get the textbox value in vb.net
I need to know this because I am in a situation that I cannot find a alternative. I am using MaskedTextBox and has a Mask of "__/__/____". Obviously, It's a date format. Now, I cannot get if the MaskedTextBox is string.empty because it is not an empty. I cannot use "If MaskedTexBox.Text = "__/__/____" then " condition also because It never captured. If I used MaskTextBox.MaskFull = false, It gives an error on creating form. So I came up with an idea that would subtitute to TextChanged Event.
I was wondering if there's an easy way to make a cell textchanged event for a datagridview, like you have the textchanged event for textboxes, an event that gets triggered everytime the user press a letter/number/symbol/backspace/space, so i can check in that event if the datagridview has changes and whether i should enabled my save button to save the changes made.
Or is there a better way to check whether i need to enable my save button?
In my asp.net application, i am using a lookup to enter data to a textbox.For making lookup i have used jscript.I have a button for this lookup from which i am entering data to this textbox.so, i am not entering values directly to the textbox.After entering values to textbox, the textchanged event is not working.What could be the reason?
I'm looking for a library for Autocomplete support in text controls which remembers all previous entries of the user and provide auto-complete support for it.For example for "recent files" I use [URL] and it works great. Do you know something like that for this purpose?
UPDATE : This is a .NET Winforms application and I'm using normal Text Control.
I have invoice form bound to a bindingsource and bindingnavigator. In the form I have unit price, quantity and total textboxes. The total textbox text property is set to total.text = quantity.text * unitprice.text in the textChanged event of both quantity and unitprice text boxes. The result is displayed in the total textbox. But when i hit save button on the bindingnavigator it is set to null and not saved to database. [code]When I used msgbox to see the value of total textbox before bindingsource.endEdit() it is the correct value. but after the code bindingsource.endEdit() it is null. I checked the databinding property and it is correct. What is the problem.
