I'm trying to make it so that that user can enter predefined text by a button event (which will save them time typing). For example, they're writing a note in a textbox and then they click a 'Name" button which enters the name of the person into the text box at the place of the cursor, which will cut down on errors caused by typos.
So I need something like:
Button_click event() textbox.AddAtCursor(person.name) end sub
Basically I have a series of lines in a textbox like this:
### = 1232, 1234, 1236, 1238, 123A, 123C ; comment here I want to show a button when the caret (cursor pipe thing) in the textbox goes is in a number so like:
... , 12|31, .... or ... , 123|1, .... etc (the pipe being the caret)
I have written code to check if it is in a number and to get the number when the button is clicked, but it doesn't work correctly if I put the code in the selection changed event.
oh and the numbers can be upto 8 digits long and hex.

Seems like Textbox1.focus is not working.

I have a couple of TextBoxes on a Form and also a RichTextBox control which is associated with a ContextMenu1. Now, while my MouseCursor still blinks friendly in one of my TextBox controls, I right-click the RichTextBox and get surely my ContextMenu1. However, this ContextMenu won't do me any good unless I first left-click my RichTextBox in order to set my cursor in there and then right-click again to open the ContextMenu. I've tried to work with RichTextBox.Focus() and also with something like ... If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then ... But nothing seems to do the trick.

I am going to make an onscreen keyboard that fits the style of my app, but I want to make it a seperate application from the main app. All I want it to do is is have my keyboard become visible whenever I enter a text field of any application, whether it be programmed by me or a third-party app. Think about this in the way of a smart phone... Whenever you enter a textfield the system keyboard is displayed.

how to keep the cursor out of a Textbox? The Textbox is read only and no tabstop. Still when i run the app, if you click on the Textbox the cursor is there and i dont want it.
I have a string that will be of varying lengths. I want to display this string in a textbox so scroll bars will appear if the string is larger than the size of the text box. This info is read only - I don't want to give the user any input with it.I still see a cursor and my string highlighted even with the ReadOnly set to true.Is there any way to disable the cursor altogether in a textbox so nothing is highlighted?Maybe I'm not using the best control for this, but I don't want to use a label.I generate this textbox at run time, if that matters at all.
I have a form which uses many TextBox's. TextBox1 through TextBox3 are already working the way I need them to. The other 123 I am having a small issue with. Basically, I need to detect which TextBox (4-85) the cursor is in, since a change in that box will modify some or many of the other boxes.
If I use something like TextBox4.Text.Changed, I will get caught in a massive loop, since a change in TextBox4 will alter the contents of TextBox36 and TextBox44. A Change in TextBox36 will alter TextBox4,5,6,7 and 44, and a change in TextBox44 will alter TextBox4-43.
The second set of TextBox's (45-85) act the same way. The last group of TextBoxes (86-126) are calculations based on the other 2 sets and are not user adjustable.
I am new to Visual Basic and i am using VS 2008. I have a form with multiple (7) text boxes. What i would like to accomplish is basically, when i click on textbox 1 a predefined message would load to label1 and when i click on textbox2 label1 would now displays a different pre-defined message and etc... I've tried using the "focus" parameter of the textbox but it doesn't work. So i am thinking of using the cursor as a way to solve my problem but i don't know how to work with it. I found a very similar thread titled " Detect when the cursor is in a textbox/typing in webbrowser?" on this forum but i don't think it applies to my situation.

I have a sequence of ASP.NET web forms, each holding a placeHolder control and 3 buttons: "Previous Page", "Quit" and "Save Answers" (in this order). On page-load event, the placeHolder is programmatically filled with a list of questions an a series of radioButtonList's for answering, and the focus is set on the "Save Answers" button using btnSaveAnswers.focus()
When the page loads, the focus is set on the "Save Answers" button as expected. The problem is that when i start clicking in radio buttons to answer questions, the focus shift on the "Previous Page" button (maybe because its the first in the row?) but i want it to stay on "Save Answers". So ho could i prevent shifting of the focus?Enclosing the 3 buttons on a panel and setting the defaultButton="Save Answers" property of the panel did not work. The tabIndex of the 3 buttons are 3, 1 and 0 respectively
I am having some bizarre issues with getting focus on the child objects of some user controls that I am developing.The base control, DatePanel, consist of three radio buttons, a textbox, a combobox, and a datetimepicker.Depending on which radio button is selected depends on which of the other controls are visible.The default state of the control has the textbox and combobox visible.When I test the control in the VS test container, I click in the textbox, the cursor appears but I cannot type, if I click in the textbox again then I can type.I have tested enough to figure out that if I click on any other control and then click on the textbox I can type.I have tried adding a gotfocus event for the user control to both Focus and Select the textbox and neither does anything.This user control is on several other user controls that are in development because I didn't catch the behave at the beginning.To make things a little stranger in one of the other controls, I found that if I set the tabindex of DatePanel A to 0 then I was able to type in the textbox after selecting it the first time, however if instead I click in the textbox of DatePanel B the cursor appears in that textbox but when I type the text appears in the textbox in DatePanel.
In terms of code on the DatePanel there are 6 properties and 3 events.The 6 properties return values of the fields on the DatePanel and the three events are for watching the state of the radio buttons.Other than that I did try adding the GotFocus event to no avail.I can provide any code that is needed but between myself and my colleagues we couldn't see anything that would have any influence over the control focus.
I am checking if one of the function keys is pressed in the KeyDown event of a TextBox using the following If e.KeyCode >= Keys.F1 And e.KeyCode <= Keys.F12 Then 'do something here End If This works fine, except when I press F10 the cursor in the textbox freezes (ie. stops blinking) & doesn't free up until another key is pressed. Does Windows use this key for some other functionality that causes this behavior?
