.net - Unwanted Retriggering Of Textbox Events?
May 24, 2010
This is one of those "seems obvious" as how to do, but came across interesting side effect in implementing. I'm trying to keep two text boxes syncronized when information is updated. In this example, I will be using txtStartDate and txtEndDate. If the txtStartDate is changed, then the txtEndDate should should be updated. Likewise, if the txtEndDate changes, I want the txtSartDate to be updated. The side effect I'm comming across is that when I set them up under the TextChanged event for both, the events seem to retrigger against each other indefinately (endless loop?). Am I using the wrong event? Is this a task for a delegate?

I am trying to show the square root of the number entered in the textbox. when the user presses Q (Uppercase), the square Root should be shown (in the textbox). I did manage to get the sqaure root, but the problem is that when I press Q the Letter Q is also typed in. For example, if I enter 25 in the textbox and press Q then I get Q5 as the result. Is there any work around to this problem ? Below is the code that I have used.
Private Sub Textbox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Chr(81) Then '81 for Letter Q
Dim root As Double = Math.Sqrt(Val(TextBox1.Text))

I'm using VB 2005 and MS Access 2000. I have a process that does some "stuff" with the data, re-queries the database, re-populates the form then displays a messagebox indicating that the process has completed. My issue is that after clicking OK in the messagebox, that whatever textbox the cursor was in prior to starting the process, now has all the text in it highlighted. If I don't show the messagebox then this doesn't happen. And if I don't call the process that repopulates the form controls, this doesn't happen. There's no code in the app that selects the contents of the textbox so is there a property somewhere that controls this?

My program paste lots of stuff to a text box. Is it possible to replace every character that is not a number or a point to nothing? It may get lots of weird character there so is here way to replace them to �� and keeping numbers?
I know how to TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Replace("%", "") But its too many simbols to list, Can it be done easier?

I have a VB.NET subroutine that is triggered by a timer. I have found that on occasion, if the routine runs for a long time, the routine will be triggered again while it is still running with unpredictable results. Is this normal? Is each copy of the routine running in its own thread? Is there a way to serialize the routines? Right now I use a Boolean that I set True on entry and False when I am done so I can check if the routine is running when I enter it, but I thought that there might be something more elegant.

I am populating a textbox (txtFileNature) with a value from a popup window. The textbox has an onfocus handler set to
onfocus=("this.blur();")
The problem is that I want to do some calculations based on the value of txtFileNature and want to display the result below it. In which event can I can use my VB code. I can't use the textchanged event since I am not typing in the textbox.

I am trying to do implement an autocomplete textbox in my application and I have a question about keypress event inside an autocomplete textbox. I have 2 textbox namely textbox1 and textbox2. Suppose to be, when the user pressed the RETURN / ENTER key, it will focus on textbox2. how come that on this event is not triggering.
Code:
Private Sub frmCheck_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'set autocomplete mode in textbox1
TextBox1.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend
TextBox1.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource
[Code] .....
Also, I would like to ask if how to validate the input if the value from the textbox matches from the autocomplete values. How can I compare the values of the textbox and the autocomplete source?

I'm using a textbox to define a hotkey, and I need to make the textbox receive key events and prevent the form from receiving them.The reason it's a problem is because Tab (and probably other keys) is a valid key, but the form uses that as a shortcut, so the textbox never receives the keypress.

I know you can validate textbox text by using the keypress events. But the form i'm working on has multiple groupboxes with multiple textboxes. So rather than having a sub routine to validate every groupbox, i was wanting to have just the one keypress event that handles the textbox entries, and depending on the textbox calls a specific validation routine.[code]

In order to take advantage of the spell checking ability of WPF textboxes, I have added one to a user control (with the use of elementhost). This user control is used in various window forms. My current problem is trying to handle keyup events from this textbox but the windows form is unable to "get" any event from the control. I can access the properties of the textbox just fine (i.e. text, length, etc.) but keyboard events don't seem to work.I have found, however, that the following will bring back events from the WPF textbox:
Public Class MyUserControl
Private _elementHost As New ElementHost
Private _wpfTextbox As New System.Windows.Controls.Textbox
[code].....
The user control is now able to do something after the PreviewKeyUp event is fired in the WPF textbox. Now, I'm not completely sure how to have the window form containing this user control to work with this.

I have a TextBox which Is allowed only to read certain characters. I use KeyPress event to handle this event. I understand that The KeyPress event does not handle the pressing of the DELETE key on the keyboard. I do not want the user to be able to delete characters in the txtbox by using the DELETE key, I want the user only to be able to use the backspace key. I am writing this code in Visual Basic 2005. The following code appears to work in handling the DELETE key, but I am concerned that I might get bitten by the fact that I am using KeyDown and KeyPress on the same control (txtSource).
private sub txtSource_KeyDown(byval sender as object, byval e as KeyEventArgs) handles txtSource.KeyDown
IF e.KeyData = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Delete then
e.handled=true
end if
end sub

I have various input textboxes on my form. And based on entries made in each of the input textboxes, I update the display textbox. However, using AppendText message of textbox. I have my input textboxes set to accept only numeric values. So for each character inputted correctly, I update the display Textbox. Problem I have is when user selects Key.Back or Key.Delete, what I would like to do is do a Delete of last character in the display textbox, but I am yet to get this right. How do I delete the last character in the string that is contained in a TextBox using AppendText()

when I added a textbox to my form, my keydown events no longer work. It seems impossible to get the blinking cursor out of the textbox so as to avoid targeting it. How do I retain keydown events when a textbox is added to the form?

If I use a button, I can't get rid of the white border apearing around it as soon as I press it. It stays there even after until I press something else. In the button properties I declared the Flatstyle as Standard because I like that look the most.

I have an MDI WinForms app in which the MDI parent form has a ToolStrip, MenuStrip and StatusStrip. Whenever the mouse is moved over one of these controls the cursor changes to a 'wait' cursor (a arrow with an hourglass). This seems to be default behaviour in that there is no code to make this happen. The UseWaitCursor property of both the ToolStrip and MenuStrip is false; StatusStrip does not have this property. This occurs in both debug and release builds and confuses the users who think that the app is 'doing' something when really it isn't! Does anyone know what is causing this to happen, and more importantly how to make it stop?

I've been constructing a small footprint grid control for Winforms.
After adding a vertical scrollbar I noticed that up and down keyboard strokes on the control move the scrollbar. I added no handler to support this functionallity. Indeed I do not want it. Anyone know where this event resides and what is the proper way to override it?

I'm working on a program that will generate and graph random parabolas with integer vertices. I've got a 360n x360 pictureBox set up and used a for-next loop to draw in a grid consisting of 15 x 15 squares. when I plot the generated parabola I get some unwanted lines/curves. I think this is due to the fact that the (0, 0) point of the picturebox is in the upper left corner and the (0, 0) of my grid is in the center of the picturebox. Is there a way to "move" or "set" the pen position to the first point I wish to plot for my parabola without leaving a mark or trail? Or is there something else I can do? I've tried drawing an invisible line before my g.DrawCurve(plotPen point) but when the DrawCurve is executed I still get an extra line.
Private Sub cmdParabola_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdParabola.Click
Dim x, xPlot, y, yPlot As Single

I have an unbound data grid view. Every cell that has text will display ToolTipText for that value. I'd like certain cells to have no ToolTip and others to have a ToolTip that provides instruction on what the "X" button is for rather than just having "X" display. If anything, for this particular cell, I'd probably rather have no ToolTip. I've tried setting the ToolTip.Text ="" for the cell immediately after creating the row. On other cells, if I change the underlying text value, I try altering the displayed tip text, but only get the text value for that cell.
How can I remove/modify unwanted ToolTips in my DataGridView?

developed my app on a Vista laptop and deployed it on an XP desktop. When deployed the Form and even some controls are resized so text and portions of controls are not visible.Next I moved the project files and VB to the XP desktop and published the application on that machine. Same result, in fact the sizes were changed within the properties of the forms and controls within the project files

I have developed a VB .net application which uses SQL CE as its database engine. It works great so far. I recently added a section to remove unwanted reports which are stored in the database. The app correctly pulls ReportIDs from the table, which the user can select. The program will then delete the records based on the ReportID from the database. I know this records because, for testing purposes, message boxes inform the user of how many records where collected.
Dim SQLDeleteData As String = "DELETE FROM ReportData WHERE (TableID = @ID)"
Dim Con As New SqlCeConnection(DataBaseCon)
Dim DeleteData As New SqlCeCommand(SQLDeleteData, Con)
Dim ReportDelete As Integer = -1
DeleteData.Parameters.Add("@ID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = CInt(ListView1.SelectedItems(0).Text)
noOfDeleted = DeleteData.ExecuteNonQuery
MsgBox("Records Data Deleted " & noOfDeleted)
When the form refreshes to show the user the possible ReportID's, the list no longer contains the recently deleted ReportID. Now this is where I am getting confused. When I go through the server explorer and look at the database there, in the appropriate tables the data still exists. Through the server explorer new query builder, I can still create a select statement to allow me to view the data I just deleted. Does the server explorer create some type of local cache that replicates the database in someway? Are there really two copies of the database somewhere?

I have a Visual Basic 10 program that one forms call another form.. On the called form I have a checkbox object and a 'Click' event associated with it.
My problem is that when the first form 'calls' the second form the second forms Checkbox's click event is called. it only happens when the form.show is used for the first time.
