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

View 2 Replieswe have a requirement where in the login screen we have a text box for entering the login name and a button to continue to next screen.I have enabled the text box's --> Accept Return Property to true
But when hitting the enter button the text is getting lost and we want to triger the button after hitting the enter button.
if I click on the SearchSearch Textbox, I want the highlight to be on the Search Button and not on save without using AcceptButton or any TabIndexing so if whenever i press ENTER and the 'I' cursor is on the SearchSearch Textbox, the search button will be triggered.
Javascript:
function getFocus(textboxName,e) {
document.getElementByIdSearchSearch(textboxName).focus();
}
[Code]....
before i made the Search button on focus whenrver i click on the Search textbox. so what happens is everytime i click on the textbox it instantly focuses on the Search button making me unable to type anything. I tried also making a Panel for the Search textbox and button having a DefaultButton but it doesnt highlights the Search Button
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.
I have to create a form that I enter the price of gas each month over a year. I enter the price in a text box and click the enter button to send the price to a list box immediatley and use an array. I have the following code but I don't think it's working with the array correctly as it will let me enter the information but doesn't stop letting me enter after the 12 prices. I am really having a hard time trying to figure out how to set up this input for an array and make it all work.

My friend and I are taking a visual basic online class. We are total beginners and are having trouble with a programming assignment. We have to create a arithmetic calculator with an enter button multiplication button and an addition button. What we can't seem to code properly is the event handler that allows us to use the enter button when we type in an integer in the textbox. This assignment is detrimental to our grade!

I am trying to work out how I can insert the string "End" into my textbox at a specific cursor point?
(where the '???' is in the code below)As you can see by the code below this will happen when the user clicks return on the keyboard within the textbox.

View 4 RepliesI have a text box with some text inside it;
the text is long (say 100 chars);
the textbox can display about 20 chars.
The following code:
tbxTest.SelectionStart = 5
tbxTest.SelectionLength = 60
selects a part of the text and sets the cursor (blinking beam) at the and of the selection, in this case the first caracters of the selected text is out of the user sight because the textbox is too small to display the entire selection.
Is it possible to force the cursor to be at the beginning of the selection so the first part of the text is visible? (as if I had selected my text with the mouse dragging from the end back towards the beginning)
Private Sub txtID_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal EnterChar As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtID.KeyPress

Why when i run this after i press the enter button and the focus goes to txtTerminal does the text that i just Entered into txtID vanish? Its making no sence.
I am working in VB 2008 and I have a textbox on a form that is used to enter a parcel number. I can enter the number in a 15 character string such as 12345678...... and it works just fine. The parcel number in real life contains dashes to make it easier to read, decipher, etc. so it looks like 12-3-45-67....... Under the textchanged subroutine for the textbox I have a case statement set up that checks the length of the parcel number as it is entered and inserts the dash accordingly.

View 2 RepliesFirst off, I'm using Visual Basic 2010. I've done pretty well with starting out with some basic things. Copying some codes from tutorials to learn what each code does. But lately I've been venturing into possibilities of ideas in my head, and the recent idea is very simple, but I'm not sure how to approach it.
I have a main form that has options to open up other forms. And in one of those other forms, I want to make it so that you can enter text into a textbox, then click a button to "save" the textbox's content so that anytime the program starts, that previously saved content of the textbox will be the same.
And on top of that, I want to relate the textbox back to the code in the main form.
If I didn't explain that well enough, I'm working on making an extremely basic web-browser (a big jump from what I've been doing), and I added the option under a menustrip to open up Form5 to change the home-page.
I want to make it so i click the button and text gets added to the textbox the current carat location and then the carat is placed at the end of the selected text.[code]...
How can i put the carat just after where the text was inserted after pressing a button?
how can I detect if press Enter in the Textbox Change event and not in Textbox Keypress?
