Dynamically Select First Textbox Object In A Form?
Dec 7, 2010
I am coding a public sub routine that clears all textbox fields in a form. I want to call/reuse this sub routine everytime i want to clear all textfields in any form in my program.
I can create a collections of all textbox objects in a form and loop on each of them to clear their textfields.
I'm not sure if the question properly asks what I want, because I'm a bit new, but what I am trying to do is write a sub or function that I can run when a label is clicked, and I want to to be reusable on multiple labels. There will be 12 in total, and I don't wish to write the same thing over and over, with slightly different characters. A programmer never wants to write the same thing twice, right? Also, something else is making it a necessity to do it dynamically.
So, how I was trying to accomplish that was by using a string, and adding the name of the label to the string on click.
click1 = "Label1"As it turns out, you can't just say click1.Text and return the text of Label1. The reason it's important to do it implicitly is because I need to somehow remember the one I clicked before, to compare the first click and second click, and if they match, do A, and if they don't match, do B.
I have successfully added textboxes to a form at runtime. I have also succesfully added an event handler to these same textboxes. What I'm having trouble understanding is how to refer to these textboxes programmatically after they have been added. Specifically, how do I;
1) Retrieve user data entered in those textboxes without an event handler
2) Find a specific one of those textboxex later (is looping thru all controls of type "textbox" the only way)?
purpose of find is so that I can set the value of the corresponding textbox programatically, based on some criteria Here is the code (all within in a for loop, where intvararycount is incrementing to a set limit) I have used to add the Textboxes to a Panel on a Form;
I have a class library that contains a number of classes. I would like to dynamically create an instance of one of these classes, set its properties, and call a method.
Example:
Public Interface IExample Sub DoSomething() End Interface Public Class ExampleClass
i want to select the row on datagridview and send it cell's value into textbox / label control on the same form..but it seems not work, but when i use
Private Sub DGV_CellClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DGV.CellClick
it can but i have to choose by click on each cell on it datagridview..what i want is i only have to click on it[datagridview] row but i get all value on it's column.. so i can parse/send it value into textbox.it only can be clicked with single row i knew it by DataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect

I am adding a grid of buttons to a form at run-time, and all of then use the same Handler.My question is : Is there any way I canadd the TextBox at run-time ?I know how to but without it on the form, the IDE isn't very happy about the "MyClick" Sub - TextBox1 is not declared......
' some logic here to make nice rows and Columns of buttons ' with different .Text and .Name Me.Controls.Add(btn)
I would make a textbox in the form, then I add a Microsoft Speech Object Library reference. Then using Microsoft Speech, I would have the text-to-speech option. In the same class I would add this code:
I have two DataTables, PersonInformationDataTable on which i only know about a "CityName" field, and another CityInformationDataTable, which has a few constant fields and i do a query like
ResultOfQuery = From person As DataRow in PersonInformationDataTable From CityInfo As DataRow in CityInformationDataTable Where (person("CityName) = CityInfo("CityName")) Select ?? all person info ?? , Country = CityInfo("Country"), Tongue = CityInfo("SpokenTongue")
I would like again all the person fields with their values in the enumerable result.
the result would be like : name=. I don't know how many fields or the fields name of PersonInformationDataTable in advance. With a SQL Query, i could write a string with a loop on CityInformationDataTable columns and have a custom select string like : "Select Name,
My _PrefillWizard method actually works for all the controls on my page except for those which are dynamically populated. The CheckBoxLists are such because they are automatically generated based on selectable values in a table in my DB. I already have this control in my markup like so... how do I force this to load and be ready before running my other code?[code]...
how I can select a row and column dynamically in EF4? (VB).A bit like a map, I want to navigate through the data using x and y axis to pull out one fields value,SQL would look like this
SELECT " & MyColumbVariable & " FROM MyTable WHERE MyRow = " & MyVariable & "
I'm developing an application to allow engineers to conduct simple single table/view queries against our databases by selecting Database, Table, Fields.
I get how to use the Dynamic LINQ Library Sample to provide for dynamically selecting the Select, Where and Order by Clauses at runtime but I'm at an impass on how to allot for table choice.
Is there a way to provide for dynamically selecting the "from" table at run time
EDIT
So Both of the answers seem to be saying the same general Idea. I'm going to try to convert the C# into VB and get it to work.
The first answer converts to

I have a form with a Tab Control that has 18 pages. When I click on a tab it opens the page and select a textbox on that page (txtTextbox1. Select() ). This works for the first 8 pages but not for the remaining 10 pages. Although on these pages I can mouse click on the textbox, enter info, save then click my Add button that clears the textboxes and has the code (txtTextbox1. Select() ). The textbox is selected just fine. The code for all my pages is the same except for the tab name and the control names. The tab key will move the selection to the next textbox in order on all pages and the Enter key is coded to do the same. The first 8 pages have a total of 256 labels, buttons, list boxes, textboxes and checkboxes on them.
dim object1 as new clsDatadim object2 as object object2 = getobject("object1") "getobject" function is my "needed function"
the purpose is to set object2 to have same memory address with object1 so if i change the properties of object2 then the properties of object1 also changes..
Dim oMyObject As New MyObject oMyObject.DoSomething("Parameter1","Parameter2")
The "DoSomething" and the two parameters are dynamically provided from another script. They are stored in a string object in this script: sAction & sParameters. My question is how can I dynamically pass the "sAction" to the object oMyObject.For example oMyObject.sAction (where sAction should be the value stored in the sAction string). The example will probably not work. Is there a way to do this? The idea behind is to avoid having to write each function hardcoded, like:
If sAction = "DoSomething" then oMyObject.DoSomething(sParameters) ElseIf sAction = "AnotherThing" then
I am trying to create an object dynamically with CreateObject function. The code is below but it gives error:"ActiveX object can't be created" while calling the CreateObject function.

I'm making a little program in where i'm trying to invoke a method from a class dynamically with so called Reflection.
The class I'm trying to call is called ContactList and i try to invoke the property in this class called count. The assembly itself is called Contact.Exe
Now I have the following code where I make an instance of the ContactList class in the Contact.exe assembly:
Below is some code that I'm using to create objects with Visual Basic:

I'm creating a label, a button, Timer, and Stopwatch. (Though I have sinking feeling I don't need BOTH a timer and stopwatch since I'm counting time.)What I would like to do, is create the label and set that label's text to be the value from the stopwatch. The button that will be created will stop THAT stopwatch.
The problem that I'm having is that I cannot call the stopwatch by name since it wasn't created yet and VB throws a hissy fit at me for it. (After all it wasn't really declared.)So the question becomes, how do you call the most recently dynamically created control and assign events using that control. If it's not possible to do, I do not mind dumping the form and starting over creating 30 stopwatches instead (but I'd like to avoid that, if possible).
i want to retrive the textvalue of checkbox whose checked property is true and respective textbox at a buttonclick event. Problem is in finding the controls and their textvalue. any one can help?Thanks in Advance.dt1 is datatable .For window form application.
I have a strange behavior with a dynamically created TextBox-Control. The control is created in the handler of the Load-event of a dialog-form like this:
[Code]...
Now the situation is, that in most cases it works fine. But a few of my customers report that the TextBox not appears on their dialog - it's not there! That's all, nothing more to say.hints or reports about known pitfalls with dynamically created controls which could explain this (sometimes) strange behavior and how I could fix it (I have to create this control dynamically due to some reasons).
BTW: The program is built with Visual Basic 2005. And the customers with trouble are spread about the OS's (XP, Vista, 7).
