Checking If Dynamic Text Boxes Are Empty/ No Input When Saving?
Aug 8, 2011
For example, I clicked the Add Text box button, so it added 3 text boxes in the form (I used Dynamic text box so it can add multiple text box). When I input data to one of those 3 text boxes and then Save button has been clicked. It should checked whether the dynamic text boxes are empty or not. If there are empty text boxes, then saving data to db should not be continued and display a message telling the user that empty field(s) are invalid.
In the code below, it saves the data even if there are empty text boxes and I think because it is in the for loop, it checks the text boxes one by one and repeatedly displays the message box that I coded.
Here's the complete code:
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

I'm writing a program for my class, which pretty much is an energy cost calculator. It takes 4 inputs from 4 text boxes and multiplies them, and the result is the cost. Well, now I have to come up with a way to check for empty text boxes and display a prompt to enter a number. I've tried inserting multiple codes to display a prompt and to no avail nothing has worked, I also receive the error "when casting from a number, the value must be a number less than infinity" error.

I am working on a project where I need to create dynamicly created text boxes (which works fine) and then save the values from those text boxes to a txt file.Essentially how the form works is their are a few static text boxes the user fills out and then presses a button to create a row of 7 other text boxes and they click the button for however many rows they need.Again this part work just fine, but its when I get to trying to save the values in those boxes that I run into trouble.I'm fairly new to vb.net and currently I only know how to save the static boxes using the WriteLine function, which unfortunetely doesn't work for the dynamic ones.

I have an insert statement which works fine but before the record is saved I want to validate the text boxes. So I just need to know how to check for empty text boxes before the save button is clicked on. I have seen a couple of examples like:
Dim ctr As TextBox
If ctr.Text = vbNullString Then
MsgBox("empty box")

I'm a novice, messing around with input boxes in VB 2010 Express. I know most programmers recommend not using input boxes except for the simplest things, but what I'm doing IS the simplest thing. Besides, I'm really just experimenting for the sake of learning.
I want a few input boxes to appear, one at a time. Let's say there are six input boxes in this project. The user can input anything he wants in each input box. After the user has entered text into the six input boxes, the program should write the text to a file. This is the part I'm having trouble with. [Code]
I haven't figured out if title.input is correct or not, or if I need something instead of commas in between each item. And the headers (i.e. the "First Name" stuff) needs to be added in there also, but I need to get the syntax of the code right first before getting to that.

I have a problem in that I have five text boxes pertaining to a customer/client, where there is a txtbox for each: Name; Address; City: State; Zipcode. Of course all the txtboxes are "" at initialization. I also have 2 combo boxes and a 2D array for prices which I have finally been able to understand the array logic. I have also been able to do my necessary calculations for.
My problem. The customer information is first to be validated as all being strings and not empty. The combo boxes I was able to get to tie to my 2 dimentional array and get good output and calculations for a finished product. I am just having problems with the error messages. Also I don't want summary totals unless the data is valid. In other words, the user must enter a complete address and make decisions about the two combo boxes, both of which are needed to use the price array. I will change the comboBoxes to represent dress sizes,"S" "M" "L" and "XL" and the other combobox to describe colorRedSatin or colorBlackBroadcloth with a two dollar difference in price between them. 'That would be similar enough to the problem I need to solve.
Basically I do not want any numbers to appear for price of the dress or addons to the dress unless all validation is complete. I do understand how the radio objects work for discounts and check boxes for accumulating accessories. The program should not give any totals untill the user has input all customer information and made decisions about input from combo boxes and selected calculate from menu. Right now it calculates and puts zeros in when choices are not made from the combo boxes by the user. It will include correct amounts for radio buttons and checkboxes if anything is entered. I need error messages for customer inputs and combo box inputs (if not selected from list of option in drop down for choices) (basically if nothing was put in a text box, the text box is empty. Of course the problem is the user must enter something in all 5 textboxes and not get multiple error messages in rapid succession to fix. We can't always count on our users putting in good data.. When I tried a Do While False with ORs I was getting endless looping. I could not get it to work because it will never execute because the control never passes back to the user.
I don't want to list a series of If/Thens becauser the user will see about 7 messages, where he/she only needs to be fed one at the time. I hope someone can give me some direction. I just need guidance on how to validate the text boxes and combo boxes. The code is analyzed with a "Calculate" on the menustrip. I would like for the calculation not to calculate and put outputs into the summery text boxes unless all textboxes are filled and combo boxes are valid for all the customer information and combo box choices for my two combo boxes describing what is needed for the order to calculate. There are also the radiobuttons and checkboxes, DIMs, Const, Variables, but not having problems with that part I have my indexing problems on the combo boxes worked out also, so I am not concerned about those now except for getting the error messages when I should. I hope that I have described my issues fully. I am using visual studio 8 with Windows 7

how to permanently save to text files then re-open all of the information again using SFD and OFD. Now my teacher has come back at me and said that i need to be able to save the information from multiple text boxes and have the text in certain labels to also be saved into the one text file (the labels need to be done because it is a database and these labels are like the fields and the right text box needs to match the right label)

I have done this in Php with a function before. I just don't know how to do it in VB.I have a character sheet creator for a game I am making. What I am wanting to do is write a single function, where in you click on a button and it will pass the text box name (so that it knows which text box to edit), as well as the value inside of the text box (to make sure that the new character stat ceiling is taken into account).
Private Sub Button_Click
AddtoValue(Textbox1,stats)
End Sub[code].....
Essentially, I need to know what to put for noidea, and noidea2, like, byval or byref or what?

Can I set this function so that if the local settings.txt exists, it will NOT be overwritten unless the mapped file is newer?
If IO.File.Exists("C: empsettings.txt") = False Then
IO.File.Copy("K: empsettings.txt", "C: empsettings.txt")
ElseIf IO.File.Exists("C: empsettings.txt") = True Then
[Code]...
Currently modifying a program that is being used by several staff. Each time they restart it, it starts the latest build.
I have a settings.txt file that is needed for the latest build(not on all pc's yet, original version has the settings written in the code) and updated as needed.
If local PC doesn't have settings.txt, it is copied, if it does have settings.txt it gets overwritten by the mapped copy on each run.
Wanting to let users keep their 'personalized' local settings.txt, unless I add a new feature to the program that requires a change to the mapped settings.txt file.

I was a professional software designer using VB6. Now that I've converted to VB2005 years later, use, with pages of unrelated information. With VB6 I could use Left$, Mid$, etc to parse keyboard input into a string. For example in the KeyPress event of a name box I could use
Case "A" To "Z"
CFName$ = Left$(CFNameBox.Text, CFNameBox.SelStart) + Key$ + Mid$(CFNameBox.Text, CFNameBox.SelStart + CFNameBox.SelLength + 1)
When converting a program from VB6 to VB2005 the software changed the line to
CFName = VB.Left(CFNameBox.Text, CFNameBox.SelectionStart) & Key & Mid(CFNameBox.Text, CFNameBox.SelectionStart + CFNameBox.SelectionLength + 1)
When writing another program I used the VB.Left(), etc, but it gives me an error. So, the question is, what is the correct way to capture keyboard input from text boxes and construct strings?

I have a reset button created in my VB form, but don't know how to code it so that it will accomplish what I want. I want it to clear the form's text boxes so that new input can be entered. I could just code an end statement but this closes the form, and I want to keep it open to continue working with it.

I'm familiar with Visual C# and the try/catch for that but I cannot seem to figure out how to do the same thing in VB. Basically I can't figure out how to get the try/catch to work with text boxes and input from the user and whatnot.I've tried setting the textbox.text property = "" but that has no use, I've been trying to find something on Google about it but I cannot seem to find a single thing about textbox try/catch statements. Is it possible to do it with text boxes?

I'm using VB 2008 express edition.I have to show the growth of savings in a bank account using input from two text boxes that will be deposit amount and interest rate. I have attached a picture of my form.I have declared my variables and now I'm working on my processing.When the compute button is hit, based on the deposit amount and the interest rate, the amount of years it takes to double the money and the amount of years it takes to become a millionaire with that amount will be displayed in the lower text boxes.
Here's some of my math reasoning...
Doubling time formula : 2P = P(1+ i)^n I tried solving for ^n and got: n = logP(1 + i)/log2P
Is this correct? How do I express logarithms in VB?As for the amount of years that it takes to become a millionaire, can I simply take the deposit amount for example $500 dollars and divide 1,000,000 by 500 to get 2000 so it takes 2000 deposits of 500 dollars each to reach 1 million. Is my arithmetic correct?

I constantly find myself having to do code similar to the following.[code]Is there anyway to check for both on a single line? When i'm checking a condition for a great number of answers, I sometimes end up with conditionals 6-sets deep. If i check for null first, an error still pops up, even though VB shouldn't check since the first condition failed. i.e.[code]

I believe we'll have to loop through all of the checkboxes and then check them. The problem, is that when declaring the variable, I'm not sure how to gather check boxes
For example:
Dim i As New ...
For Each i In Tabpage1
...
Next
