Detect When The Cursor Is In A Textbox/typing In Webbrowser?
Mar 28, 2010
I'm using a custom webbrowser to display a special intranet for my company.I need to be able to display a custom keyboard whenever the user can type in the webbrowser. So if they click on a textbox within the page to type, this custom keyboard appears.when the user is in 'typing mode'. I thought maybe checking when the cursor changes to 'ibeam' which is the typing cursor? How might I do that, or is there an easier way?
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'd like you filter some results in a grid, and i want the user to be able to type a value into a textbox, and then the grid will be filtered by that value. I don't need help with the grid or how to populate it. My question is in regards to the textbox; How can i tell when the user has stopped typing so i can automatically load the grid? I thought about doing a refresh automatically in the TextChanged event, but that seems silly since the user could still be typing more characters.
(Visual Studio 2008 - Visual Basic 2008 - 3.5 .Net Framework) I have few objects on my form and i would to like scan objects' names by my cursor. I wish to get name of object, which is under my cursor. (only one object is under cursor, and form)..
I have few objects on my form and i would to like scan objects' names by my cursor. Bad english, so again: I wish to get name of object, which is under my cursor. (only one object is under cursor, and form)
how can i format a number while typing it on a textbox. For example, I type 1234.50 on a textbox and it will show 1,234.50 on the same textbox. I am trying this with my code but with no luck.
Private Sub txtClimit_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtClimit.TextChanged Me.txtClimit.Text = FormatNumber(Me.txtClimit.Text, 2, , , TriState.True) End Sub
I want to format the contents of my textbox while typing.I know that I can do this in LostFocus event, but I want it to be done while I am typing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to implement this?
I need to do it like this. while typing ex. 100000, the textbox would display 100,000. I tried everything I know, I fired up keypress and textchanged events but still failed.
i have a texbox TextChange event which every time when a user hind a character in it , am querying data to my database and display that data under a datagridview control.but my data now have been grow up and still going, every time am enetering a character to the textbox is taking time to query that data and if the user type a quickly word then a lag occures to the textbox.
i have seen a lot of programs and microsoft programs that when a user is typing is not seacrhing anything unless the user stop typing .with out having any other event of focus lost or anything.can i do that also in my application with an easy way and avoid using timers or any complex way?
i've got my basic AutoTyper ready (well and one with autoupdating etc in it) but it's only a singular line. [Code] What I want to do it to type multiple lines, I know I'll have to enable multiline on the TextBox. I want it to type one line per time interval using 1 timer. I don't know how but I know it would have to count the lines but from then on I'm stuck. I will need to make it type line 1, then on the next loop line 2 and go on until it's reached the amount of lines from the count then repeat from line 1. [Code]
I want that it is not possible to type anything in a textbox, but i do need to place something in it. This is my temporary
Private Sub textbox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles textbox1.TextChanged If textbox1.Text = Nothing Then Else textbox1.Text = Nothing End If End Sub
But in this way I cant place anything either. I want only that it is not possible to type something in it.
I am working on a carputer app, and it will be relatively basic with common tools. 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.
I want it when I type anything, it will start at the third character of the textbox. Ex. I have this amount textbox that has .00 on it, whenever I type numbers it will start after the period. So if I type 300 then it will show 300.00
Is there a built in way to know when a user is done typing into a textbox? (Before hitting tab, Or moving the mouse) I have a database query that occurs on the textchanged event and everything works perfectly. However, I noticed that there is a bit of lag of course because if a user is quickly typing into the textbox the program is busy doing a query for each character. So what I was hoping for was a way to see if the user has finished typing. So if they type "a" and stop then an event fires. However, if they type "all the way" the event fires after the y keyup. Like measuring the time since the last textchange event and if it was > than a certain value then it would proceed to run the rest of my procedures.
I want to make login form. It contain two Textboxs and one button (Login). If textbox is empty then button look like Disable If I type text in textboxs (Textbox1) and (textbox 2) both then button Enable. for logining...
I need to work with multiline textboxes. I am currently developing a web application that was started by someone else. The only problem I have is the text in my multiline textboxes is going to the next line before it needs to. I have played around with settings, removed the textboxes and added them back, and I am still having the same problem. When typing in the textboxes, the text moves to the next line after pressing the space bar.
I have a form that allows users to enter information into a few textboxes. When users click save, the information will be transferred into the datagridview.
My problem now is, for instance, there is a textbox called "Price" with the datatype "money" which users are only allowed to enter numbers. If users enter alphabets, errors will occur. I don't wanna use try catch, I would like to try different methods such stopping users from entering anything into the textbox when the datatype isn't correct - nothing will appear in the textbox when users hit all the keys in the keyboard except for numbers.
Is there a way to make the textbox stop typing when a user types numbers? I don't want an error message, I'd just like the user to be able to insert 10 numbers and then it shouldn't add any newly typed numbers.[code]....
In an application I have, when a user types in a textbox, the data in a listview is refreshed to reflect what the user is typing.As it stands, it does a refresh after each key is entered.Is there any way to smartly wait until the user has finished typing before initiating a data refresh?
I'm trying to get the cursor position within a webbrowser control, and then create a text range starting from the cursor to a specified word or character.I have some code but instead of selecting the specified range it selects the whole html block.
I want to find the cursor position when the cursor is over a WebBrowser. The WebBrowser does not contain mousemove command - 'panel' does.I thought I could put the WebBrowser on top of the Panel - but it doesn't work. how I can get the mouse location when it is over a WebBrowser?
I'm coding an advanced web browser. The bad thing is, is that whenever you move your cursor over the window, a wait cursor is displayed. I tried to deselect the wait cursor but it doesn't work! I'm using Visual Basic 2010 Beta 2...
