Changing Focus Between MDI Children
Jun 3, 2011
A common problem I have come across when migrating from VB6 to VB.NET is that to change the focus between MDI children, you can't just click any control to give that child focus, you must click its title bar. The solution that I have found works is to enter the child form's Designer and change the following:
Code:
#Region "Windows Form Designer generated code "
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCode()> Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
'This is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
[Code] .....
This needs to be done on all child forms in the project. If one form does not have the fix, once it's opened, the bug will return even when the form is closed.

I have two mdi children forms open. I would think that clicking on the non active form would change the focus from the active form to the form I just clicked on. It only does this if I click on the title bar. Then the focus changes. But if I click on a control on the non-active form, focus does not transfer.

One would imagine that clicking anywhere within the MDI Child form (or on any control) will focus that form. But in my application I can only focus a MDI child by clicking on its titlebar, which is an abnormal behavior on the part of the user. My forms are filled with either controls or panels so I don't have the luxury of just "clicking on the form." But clicking anywhere within it should focus it.

Is there a more efficient/easier way changing the backcolor of a control when it has focus and lost focus? Let's say I've got 10 text boxes. Right now I would have 20 different events...10 for Enter event and 10 for Leave event. Of course, entering would change the back color to "green" and leaving would change it back to "white".

In my windows application, the first form is login form. When the user double clicks my application, the applications icon flashes in the taskbar though the cursor is in the username textbox. The user then again should use the mouse to turn the focus to the login form. But however while i am working with the source code its working just fine

How do I autoscroll my richtextbox?
Form1_Load events;
How do I make it do this event occasionally? Like maybe every 5 launches, it does the event?

Here is what I've done:1) Created an Excel COM add-in for Excel 20032) Added a NotifyIcon to the Windows taskbar notification area (aka system tray) during ThisAddIn_Startup3) Added a ContextMenuStrip with a ToolStripButton to the NotifyIconWhy is it when I right click on the NotifyIcon, Excel gains focus? If after clicking on the NotifyIcon to display the ContextMenuStrip I choose not select an option on the ContextMenuStrip and instead click back on the Excel window, I get a weird flashing cell in Excel.I've created a video of the problem to help you see what I [url] anyone know how to prevent this? Ideally, I'd like to be able to click back on Excel and only have the ContextMenuStrip close and Excel regain focus.

I have two forms in an application. One is he background and then I show another keypad form called with the show() method (not showDialog) because I need to perform some validations on btn click.
The kepad has 10 buttons and an Enter Button. The problem is that the form keeps loosing focus (I checked this with a messagebox which keeps poping up once for focus=true and again for focus=false, it continuously keeps losing and gaining focus) so it does not process any keypress events untill i click somewhere on the form. I tried using me.focus() in form load event but to no avail. The forms TopMost property is also set to true.

I have a textbox on a form that when it loses focus it updates other text boxes on the form. But before it updates the other textboxes I check the input value in the textbox lostfocus event if it is undesired I return focus to the the textbox and alert the the user with a msgbox. However where my problem is, is that when the cancel button is clicked I don't care what the input in the textbox is because the changes are being canceled but if the value is undesired the it keeps returning focus to the textbox instead of canceling the changes. Is there a way to see what control was clicked on before or in the lost focus event? Can't seem to figure it out tried enter and leave events but no luck!
So for example something like this...
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus
If Control that was clicked <> btnCancel then

Is there a simple way of tracking the change of an Mdi's children i.e. when they are created and closed, something like an event OnMdiChildListChanged (I realise this doesn't actually exist).
I am also aware that I could have a method within my Mdi that handles the creation of child forms and logs the state of them or even create an Interface that defines that a child form has a "NotifyParent" method that is then called on close of the form, but i was wondering if there was any built in events that i could plumb into?

I have four children in a parent container. Each child form is a test for the user to type correct answers into text boxes. Option to open each form is on a menu strip in the parent. In form load, I have disabled all but the first form option. I only want the second form to become available if the first form answers are correct. I would like to figure this out on my own as much as possible. I have searched on line but since I am not sure what to ask, I have not found and answer. Can someone get me started in the right direction? Perhaps some reading that would explain how to go about this, or what I should be typing into google to get what I'm looking for.

I'm sifting through the dump of AniDB titles and everything works except that it only sees 7161 elements instead of 9200. Anyone have any idea why? It's not calling an exception on the load method as if something is wrong. Even when I change it to just take the root element and then get the count of children, it gives 7161. Like it doesn't even see the last 2000.

I'm trying to remove all children (and sub-children) of a Grid in WPF (I'm really new to the whole WPF business). Is there a good way of doing it programmatically? I need to do this so that I could leave an empty canvas (Grid) at one point and draw other stuff on it.

Im new to treeviews so I hope this is not posting a problem that has been covered. I want all the children of a checked parent to also be checked. I have found various snippets that can achieve this but only for one or two levels. When I expand further than 2 levels the children are not checkeds. What am I missing? I have managed to find this piece of code that I am using in both the "AfterExpand" and the "AfterChecked" events to achieve the result. There must be a better way.

I'm adding rectangles to a wrap panel like this:
For i = 0 to 20
wrapPanel.children.add()
next
I would like to use this loop because I don't want to specify the limit:
Do
wrapPanel.children.add()
Loop
But how can I break the loop when the wrap panel is filled? For example the loop would stop when the wrap panel can't display a rectangle in its full height or width.

I need to modify a xml file (actually a .rdlc report file) and add some nodes which have a lot of children nodes (and those children nodes again have children nodes). Actually they are almost the same strucutre, like this one:
<TablixRow>
<Height>0.23622in</Height>
<TablixCells>
[Code].....
and it will add my specified NS. (like I said, XElement.Parse(string) won't add it) So now I can construct the correct node. For my second problem I still can't figure out: I can't navigate to the target node by using the element name since it won't search for correct NS.

The code above gives an error for all the Child that aren't of the type frmBrowser.

How do you set it up so that a treeview control will select/deselect all children of a parent when it is selected/deselected? Is there a property you set or do you have to write code to do it?

I'm working on a drag-and-drop method to copy items from a listview control to a treeview. I've got the drag and drop working, but I'm hoping to limit the ability to drag items that create a child of a child. Ideally, if someone drags an item from the listview to the Treeview and the drop the listview item over a child, it would drop the dragged item to the parent.
