im trying to disable a button until anything has been entered into two text boxes simultaneously.
So far i have tried:
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text & TextBox2.Text) Then
Button1.Enabled = False
Else
Button1.Enabled = True
End If
However it doesnt work simultaneously, the button will become enabled if i enter anything into either textbox, i cant have any of them left blank.
I was looking for quick assistance with disabling the write button based on wrong user input. Program works great just feel like it needs a little more.

I don't like validating through the TextChanged event either as I believe that to be the cause of some issues. Doesn't the Textchanged event validate on each time a letter is typed?
Here is what I need to do: I need to be able to go through the cells in my first column and find any that have four digits (and only four digits). When a cell is found with a four digit number I need to be able to bold that entire row. How can I do this?
I'm in VS2007. This is a datagridview program. Data populates the tables from a database. The cells in the first column that contain the data can contain between four and 8 numeric digits. I only want to bold the rows that have cells in the first column that have four digits.
I want to be able to call a certain stored procedure based upon different criteria. May I do something like on lines 6 through 12 ? If so, am I properly creating my command object on line 3?

I have most of this working, but there are some issues yet. Basically, it's a "History" form for patients There's a date field for each entry, and if that date doesn't match the date you're accessing the form I want it to disable all controls so you can't edit the form.So it would have to check the current date with the date that is on the form.The issues I'm having are this. It seems to work because when I click today's date nothing gets locked like it used to, but when I do click another date everything in that form gets locked, including the override button and the scrollbar. I don't want the scrollbar locked, and I want to have an override button so the user can edit the form if they truly wish. It also locks the DateTimePicker so I can't pick another date, I don't want that locked either.I tried enabling the DTP in the sub below but it must get ignored

I have a question about binding the datasource (MS Access database) to a listbox in a VB form. I have created a listbox and in the datasources explorer I have my datasource say SampleDS. I have several columns inside my datasource, say name, age, address in it. If I select name and drag to the listobx in the form, only the entries in the name column will be displayed in the listbox.
I want to know how to filter the name based on criteria. For example, how do I display names whose age >25?
I have this form with a bunch of input controls. I have code working that will disable them all like I want, but need to work with the if/then statement portion. Basically, it's a "History" form for patients. There's a date field for each entry, and if that date doesn't match the date you're accessing the form I want it to disable all controls so you can't edit the form. So it would have to check the current date with the date that is on the form. Then I also want to have an override button that will ask you if you want to enable all controls anyway, which I can probably figure out. There is some older VB6 code (I think) but I know nothing about VB6 or how it translates.
I think this is the portion that does what I want in VB6:
Private Sub DATE_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Call Setdate
Exit Sub
Dim sysDate As Date, Response
sysDate = VBA.Date
[Code] .....
How to have the program check the current date with the date in this form. From there it's probably just a simple if/then statement to fire off either sub. This date control on the form is a DateTimePicker. Maybe I just have to compare that to the system date but I still don't know what to call for that.
I have a Radio Button List that lists different business categories. The last option is the Other category. When the user selects the Other category, I want to be able to enable a text box that the user can then enter further information to explain the Other selection.[code]...

When the user clicks on the CmdGetCoupon it takes some time to redirect..so the user clicks on the CmdGetCoupon more than once,which results in multiple coupon generation from a single user account.
I want to display a message "Please Wait While Your Coupon Is Being Generated" and disable the CmdGetCoupon so that the user cannot click multiple times
I've used (buttonName).enabled = false to disable buttons when the user clicks on them but I don't like how the button becomes faded.
Is it possible to disable a button without changing the look of the button?
Take the following fundamental code:
Private Sub btnStop_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStop.Click
btnStop.Enabled = False
'Lengthy code procedure
btnStop.Enabled = True
End Sub
I've just notice that when I click on a button, and try to disable it in order to avoid the user clicking on it several times during process (or disable the entire form for that matter), the application somehow records the subsequent clicks and processes them after the button has been re-enabled. But that's not the behavior that I want at all. I just want to disable any user interaction with the button (or the form perhaps) until processing of the Button_Click event is completed. How can I do this?
im wondering if it is possible at all to bisable a button after it being clicked because i have no idea on where to start on doing this. I only know how to get it to disable for the one session but when the program is run again it is enabled again. Is there any way to just keep it disabled because it nly ever needs to be clicked once.
View 20 RepliesI have a split container in my vb program that has 2 buttons right on top of each other in container 1. In container 2 I have a datagridview. The buttons are to mark a row as a blanket order that is in the DGV, so I'm only wanting the button enabled if the user is in the DGV.

I am trying to work on an application that disables the close button (X) on the upper right hand corner of a window. In order to do that I need to use calls to API methods like GetSystemMenu, EnableMenuItem and RemoveMenu. I can figure out how these methods work but there are certain parameters that these methods have whose values that need to be passed to them as argument is unknown to me. How can I know them.
E.G.- for EnableMenuItem, the parameters are- hMenu (handle to the menu), uIDEnableItem (The menu item to be enabled, disabled, or grayed), uEnable (This parameter must be a combination of at least two of the following:
MF_BYCOMMAND or MF_BYPOSITION
MF_ENABLED, MF_DISABLED, or MF_GRAYED)
Now when I call this method from my application I supply the current window handle as the first argument, the item no. to be disabled/enabled as the second argument but I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT TO SEND AS THE THIRD ARGUMENT. What exactly are the possible values for those parameters- MF_BYCOMMAND or MF_DISABLED. I checked certain examples where they are supplying hexadecimal values like &HF060, &H1, 0x400, 0x1000, 0x2 etc. or integer values like 1024, 2 etc. But how would I know what exactly these values are and when to use which value. The same problem arises in case of calling RemoveMenu method. If you know about any chart or tutorial that lists the values of these parameters
How do I disable a submit button until all controls are filled? Is there a way to do this without adding conditional statements to each controls?

I need to disable a button after its pressed so the user does not have the ability to click it again as this would replicate the process in some cases.After alot of searching I found some tips - alot of code I found I could not understand.This is what I have come up with:
On page load:
If Me.Page.IsPostBack Then
'lblDetails.Text = "disabled"
[code]....
I also read somewhere that I should use: System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) to delay the process or something - not entirely sure why I would do this though.Although, the problem with my above code is that when the code behind page performs validation checks, it exits sub before executing my INSERT SQL code - so when it does this it also disables the button.I am not entirely sure if the above method is fool proof or whether it is a **** piece of code that won't work 100% of the time.On another website I found a script to put on the actual HTML page with <script> tags:

But although this works, it does not execute my VB code in the code behind page so I am a little confused where to go here.
The instructions I'm following indicate that when user clicks the Add This Item menu item for a new order, the customer information should be disabled so that the state cannot be changed until the next customer.I've tried to validate that all the customer information fields are filled when user clicks Add This Item menu item. The trouble I was having was that even when you were alerted that you didn't fill one of the fields, you clicked on the message alert and then the customer fields were disabled before you could fill the empty one.
I've tried to make an if statement which checks if some are empty to alert else if they are filled then disable. This doesn't work either. I get Conversion from string "" to type 'Boolean' is not valid. I'm not advanced enough to understand this. I just know boolean means true or false or yes or no. I'm not sure the best way to handle this situation. I don't even know if locking the user out is wise since they might have wanted to correct something wrongly entered but my instructions are to validate that the fields are filled and then disable the customer information. I need to follow the instructions exactly.
This is what it looks like:
Private Sub AddThisItemToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AddThisItemToolStripMenuItem.Click

[Code] I can also remove all text styles. I also know how to find out whether or not the selected segment of text has a style. But how do I remove the selected style without removing others? How do I disable only 'bold' while the selected segment of text has other styles like 'italic' and 'underline'?

I dynamically create buttons on a form and use the button text as ids so that I can pass that to an SQL query to pull saved data about that button when necessary, but I also use an image over buttons that have information saved about them. What I need to know is how do I keep the text on the button from appearing when there is an image assigned to that button? By default vb.net shows both the text and the image and no TextImageRelation values allow for the image to take precedence. I tried changing the text color to transparent, but the outline of the text is still visible through the image. Is there anyway to keep the text value as it is but just show the image on the button?
