I am new to Win Forms, I have a scenario here..When User enter ID in a textbox, I want to check that value in database and get the name for that ID before submitting the Submit Button.
View 1 RepliesI'm struggling with my computing coursework in college and I though My issue is simple but I can't get it right. I need to validate the text into a textbox and check that it contains ONLY alphanumeric characters, but it MUST contain both, not either numeric or alphabetic, but some of each.The textbox should store information about a Street address, that's why both the street Name and the property Number have to be input. Spaces " " and points "." should also be allowed.If it helps, something like "12" or "St. Davis Street" should NOT pass the validation checks, whereas "St. Davis Street 12" will do.I would like to get it done with regular expression as I've been using them throughout my work, but I don't mind other solutions.I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Professional, 4.0 framework and Visual Basic.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to count characters in a textbox, which includes newline characters and tabs. How do we know if the textbox contains only newline characters? ie or if the user types in one or more characters, then a bunch of "newline" characters (CR followed by LF) and then goes back and deletes the original one or more characters leaving only the leading "newline" characters. I don't want to count the characters in textbox only if new line exists..

I started editing an existing code (basicaly to learn vb) without any real previous experience. Well let's get to the point;I have a form that gathers data from db ordering by user ID (on click count).I have one DataGridView with a list of user,some have data in db, some have not. I came so far that if I CLICK on a user that have data, all data is dissplayed in 6 dinamyc textboxes.If user has no data inly first (emty) row with 6 dinamyc textboxes is created.
BUT THE POINT IS (my question to you) - I have a button that simultaneously adds a row of dinamyc textboxes bellow and multiplyies textbox04 (name is clickcount & 4) and textbox05 and displays the result in textbox06.I want to add a messagebox that shows if textbox04 & 05 are empty and in that case exits sub. Here is my code so far:
Private Sub Button1_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'Reset warnings[code].......
Might be a simple question but i was just wondering how you can validate a text box to check if it has any symbols in it? I've stopped my program from accepting integers but i don't know how to stop symbols like $, ^ & etc. All i want is letters.
View 4 RepliesI'm doing a programming course at college, and I'm making a simple program that finds the mean of three numbers. Making the basic program was easy, but I can't work out how to validate the text boxes so that they only accept numbers. I've Googled, but I haven't been able to find anything. I have a look on the forums here but couldn't find anything either.

I have been searching for an easier way to validate the text property of my combobox.
Below is a background of what I am try to accomplish:
I have a from that contains many controls, mainly comboboxes that are bound to datatables. I have these set up in such a fashion as to when the user begins to type, the values begin to show and auto populate the combobox. This makes the selection process easier to select an actual value in the list. But, as we all know, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Users still have the ability to type something that is not in the list. I do not want to allow them to leave the combobox until the have selected or typed a valid value from the list because I am building a SQL query to retrieve data for a later form. I don't want to lose the above mentioned functionality of being able to type it in. I currently have it working as follows, but there must be a more elegant way to do this.
I first populate my combo box like so:
CODE:
The part I don't like the most is that I feel like I should be able to use the list already loaded in the combobox data, but I can't figure out how to do it. So I end up having to reload it, this seem like a waste of time.
I want to validate a textbox.text value to a currency. For example if a user enters $154.45 i want the value to be 154.45 or if the enter USD154.40 I want that to be invalid. how can I do this? basically check that the input is all numbers.
View 10 RepliesI 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]

I am trying to add a line of text to a TextBox component in VB.net, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to force a new line. Right now it just adds onto what I have already, and that is not good.I have tried copying the actual linebreaks, didn't work. I tried AppendText(), didn't work.
View 6 RepliesI can't seem to get input focus on a textbox when a tab page first comes up (I'm using Windows Forms, VB.NET 3.5). I have a textbox on a panel on a tab page, and I want the focus to be on the textbox when the tab page comes up. I want the user to be able to start typing immediately in the focused textbox without having to click on the textbox. I have tab stops set in the order I want and the textbox is the first tab stop. The tab stops work except that when the tab page comes up the focus is not on the textbox, i.e. the one that's first in the tab order.
In the Enter event handler of the tab page I call the Focus method of the text box, but it returns False and does nothing, no error messages. I know I can access the text box because at the same point in the code I can set the text of the text box.If it matters, the layout of the tab page is a little complicated:[URL]..I want to set the focus on TextBox1.
What's the best way to get the focus on the desired textbox? If setting focus is the best way, why is the textbox.Focus() method failing?
