View 1 RepliesHow can I check the 'Checked' property of a dynamically-created checkbox during the Page_Load subroutine? Basically, I have a VB.NET page that creates some table rows dynamically, based on a number selected by the user. So, for example, if the user selects "3" from a dropdown list, the page posts back and creates three table rows. Each row contains a couple of textboxes, a dropdown list, and a checkbox (which are all .NET form controls rather than plain HTML controls, I should point out).Typically, the user would enter a few details into the form controls, and click the 'Submit' button, after which the page iterates through each row, and inserts the data into a SQL Server table.But if the user ticks the checkbox for that row, this signifies that the page is to ignore that row, and NOT insert that row of data into the database when the user clicks 'Submit'. This works well, but there is a problem. If the user clicks 'Submit' and some of the values entered into the form controls are invalid (so, for example, the user didn't enter their name) then the page won't submit the data, and instead, shows an error to the user informing them of the values they need to change. But if the user creates three rows, for example, but decides to "ignore" the third row (by ticking the checkbox) then when the page posts back, finds some invalid entries, and re-shows the form to the user to allow them to correct any errors, I'd rather the page didn't render the third row altogether. After all, they chose to create three rows originally, but then decided that they only needed two. So it makes sense that the third row is not recreated.
But what seemed to happen was that objCheckbox.Checked was always returning False, even when the checkbox was ticked. Once the page had loaded, the table rows had rendered again, and the tick was present in the checkbox, so it's not like the value was lost on postback. But at the point I check whether the checkbox is ticked, it always returns False, rendering a table row that the user doesn't need.Does anyone know how to get round this problem? I've read lots of articles about the .NET ViewState, and the page lifecycle, but I've yet to find a solution that works. I simply need to be able to check if a checkbox is ticked before re-creating some dynamic controls. [code] But then I basically found out that you can't override a protected member with a public one.
How would I override the method ToString() for the property CheckBox.Checked?
View 2 RepliesI have this code:
Code:
Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
If CheckState.Checked Then
AmxModXInstallDir.Enabled = False
Button1.Enabled = False
[code]....
When i check the box, it enables all controls, if i uncheck it, nothing happens.
I understand that Checked is a boolean, which is not the case of CheckState.I understand that CheckState also have a undeterminate possible value.But I don't understand why we have them both. I think that CheckState would be sufficient. What is the need for Checked ?

The code reads ever column text perfectly but does not read the checkstate of the checkbox.Because the checkbox has no text to it.I was thinking of giving each checkbox a tag and on the click event change tag from True to False depending on checkstate. Is that a good idea or is there a faster way around this?

I have a checkbox on my form chkActive, I want to deal with it in 3 cases. [Code] I don't have a problem with building the query, my problem is with clicking on the checkbox by clicking on the checkbox by mouse, I can only get Checked and Unchecked, I tried to use the right mouse button click, it did not fired (or I did not test deep enough) I know I can put a button to change the checkbox value to Indeterminate but that will be ugly. I can replace checkbox with combo, which is what i am thinking of doing but I just wonder: Cannot I set the checkbox state to Indeterminate by mouse any how?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to reset a form after a game has been played. I used checkboxes to indicate when the user picked a particular line item to update and then flagged the checkbox as checked and disabled.Once all the checkboxes have been checked, the game is over and I want to show a dialog (msgbox) that will allow the user to start a new game or exit the app. To reset the form, I was changing all the checkstates back to unchecked (along with resetting other variables), but the checkchanged events are being triggered and I end up in a loop.Is there a way to change the checkstate without triggering the event?[code]....

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:

This can be done directly?
I'm having trouble using DataBindings in a Windows Form / User Control. For example: Create a windows form, place a single text-box on it & place two buttons on it. The code behind the form is:
Imports System.ComponentModel
Public Class Form1
Implements System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged
Public Event PropertyChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs) Implements System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged
[Code] .....
If you type something into the text box & press Button1, you'll get a message box with the text of the property in it. If, however, you press Button2 (which sets the property in code) and then press Button1 again, you'll see that while the property was indeed set in the code, the text box doesn't reflect the change.
Updated the code to provide the implementation of INotifyPropertyChanged. This now works as desired.
I have a question, I can't really find the answer...Basically I have 2 FormsIn form number 1 I have 2 pictureboxes. I want to create a checkbox in form2 that says if checkbox 1 is checked then show picture 1 in form 1
View 1 RepliesI used to use ADODC with VB6. Once I've set up databindings I can set a text box or other controls to link with a database's specific field by changing the Text property under Data > DataBindings. I want to change the field the text box links to at different times using code. How can I do this?
View 13 RepliesI have a very simple class that holds a few public properties - ID, Text, Colour, etc. and a Boolean called 'SelectedItem'. Just like the Checked property on RadioButtons, only one item can have its SelectedItem property set to True within a particular group. Note: there will be several separate groups (lists), each allowed to have only one item with SelectedItem = True.
My first thought was that I would probably just have to handle everything outside of the class, setting SelectedItem to False for every other item in a particular list when another item was selected. But that seems rather inelegant to me. So I've been trying to think of how this might be done within the class. For example: could I perhaps have a private string property called say "GroupName" - set in the New sub when adding a new instance of the class - and then use a private shared method to set every item's SelectedItem property to False, provided the item has the same GroupName as the newly selected item? I would have a go at doing this but I have no idea how to enumerate every instance of a class from within that class, or whether that's even possible. Is it? Or is there another (better) way to achieve my goal? Here is a cut-down version of what I've got so far:
Public Class ResourceItem
Public ID As Integer
Public Text As String[code]....
As can be seen: instead of instantiating a new ResourceItem and passing that as an argument to the manager's Add procedure, I'm simply passing the details of the new item and the procedure is creating the item from those. I don't know whether this is a good or bad idea - please advise - but I've done it because I couldn't figure out how to make the SelectedItem property only writeable by the manager, so I wanted to avoid having directly accessible objects that could have their SelectedItem property set to True without it deselecting all the other items in the same group. Of course that still leaves the possibility of setting a variable to one of the manager's list items and setting it from there, so I would still like to know how I could prevent that, if possible.
UPDATE: I didn't use the code above in the end, deciding instead to go with Cyborgx37's solution - which seems to work perfectly well for me despite the warnings about best practice. I also realised I would need to use the same class in another scenario where multiple items could be selected, so it was easy to add a Boolean property to the manager to enable that.
I have grouped some checkbox in GroupBox1, 2, 3 respectively. Now I want to know the tag value ( I am using a TAG property to assign a some value to radio button ) of check box which is checked in either of the groupboxes.

I have a form that creates a row of checkboxes depending on the type of analysis the user wants to perform on the incoming file. I need to be able to determine if the checkbox is "checked" but I don't know how to do that when the controls are created at runtime.So right now I have a loop going through all the controls on the form and selecting the appropriate case: for instance chkbox1, combobox1, etc. Now I can access the values of the control by using Me.Controls.Item(chkbox1) but after that the only thing resemebling checked is .Text which wouldn't be accurate. how do you workaround the .Checked property of a checkbox when it is created at runtime?
