Forms :: Entering Textbox And Highlighting All Contents Or Not?
Jun 1, 2009
I have a normal form and normal textboxes. When the focus passes to a one-line textbox with text in it, I want to force the text to be selected and highlighted. When the focus passes to a multi-line textbox, I want to force the text to NOT be selected or highlighted, and the cursor to be at the end.I have the code HTML
Private Sub TextBoxMultiLines_Enter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBoxMultiLine1.Enter, TextBoxMultiLine2.Enter etc. etc.

I have a form where a number of textboxes are programmatically created within a flowLayoutPanel and named by adding together 2 strings.
With the click of another button i hope to have all the values entered into these text boxes stored in a text file. However, i cant seem to find a way to add strings together to allow me to retrieve the values entered within the text boxes created.
Below is the code i have so far: BTW FLP is my flow layout panel and c is my calculated nmber of textboxes that are created.
Private Sub createTB(ByVal c As Integer) Dim x1 As Integer = 1 Dim y As Integer = 2
I'm trying to write a program that detects the contents inside a textbox, and if empty displays a warning, and does not input anything into a rich text box. However, if something is detected, it would not display the warning and input the textbox's text into the rtb.
I got everything else, just need help with the textbox detection code.
I have two textboxes. Each textbox contains lines, where each line contains comma separated values. When each line of a textbox does not match the number of comma separated values of the other textbox (ie if line 3 of textbox1 has 4 comma separated words and line 3 of textbox2 does not have 4 comma separated values) I want to highlight the line which does not match the other textbox's line.
This is what I got so far (and got stuck!)
For k = 0 To index test1 = testA.Lines(k).Split(",") test2 = testB.Lines(k).Split(",")
First time post, new to VB etc. I wonder if you can with what I figure should be a very simple VB.NET query [using VS2008, targeting Compact Framework 3.5,WM6 Pro Emulator].
After entering data in the first text box I want to make the second text box to get focus when the Enter key is pressed instead of Mouse and Tab control.
Is there any way to do that by making the key values of the Tab key and the Enter key?

I recently learned how to send the contents of a vb textbox to a flash textbox which is in an swf embedded on my vb form using a vb button to trigger...
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load AxShockwaveFlash1.LoadMovie(0, "C:sample.swf") End Sub
[code]....
This workds great, however what i REALLY want to do is the other way around.... I want to click a flash button thats in the embedded swf and have it put text into my VB textbox... The text I want to dislay is:"well done!" SO Far:I have built a simple swf with a dynamic textbox and a button. textbox is named "sampleField" and its var is: "sampleFieldVar"...button instance named "Button1" is an instance of "button".

I have a windows application written in VB.Net 2008, framework 3.5. This app is running on 2 remote desktop servers. I have one user who receives error, This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. when entering in a text box. When he uses the application on Server 1 he does not receive the error. It only happens to this 1 user on one server.
Win7 64 bit; fully patched VS2008 targeting FW2.0; VB.Net; running in Debug Mode (not tested in Release mode)I have a resonably complex app which I am refactoring a bit. As part of that, I relocated some code from a subroutine into a Click Event Handler. The Event Handler will, late in the handler, call the, reduced in function, subroutine. The point of this is thatNow when I click the button associated with the modified Handler I get:A first chance exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll<br />With Error System.AccessViolationException Attempted to read or write protected memory.This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
at MusicManager2009.frmMain2.cmdLoadAlbum_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e)

All functions of the app, except those that start from the buttonclick in question, work as before in the problem version.The problem persists after rebuilding the entire solution, after restarting VS, and after rebooting the PC.
I have a text box where i am entering numbers of double datatype andon the Keytdown event of the textbox some checks take pace and in certain circumstances I want to be able to stop the user from entering other information until they enter the right information in the textbox (where it says right here) . now when I say exit sub the textbox somehow loses focus . but this is not how I want it to be I want the textbox to remain with the focus so the user can change the information . How can i go about this. And the other thing is why is my txtDestPayRate1.Focus() just befor the exit sub not working?
Private Sub txtDestPayRate1_KeyDown1(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtDestPayRate1.KeyDown
I am having a problem with a entering sections of text into the same textbox without the other section of text disapearing. In other words, I have several buttons with strings attached to them. When the user presses one of the buttons the string does enter into the textbox.

Not sure what I am doing wrong here but I have 2 buttons and a rich text box. The issue is when I click the second button to add text to the rich text box and it over writes the current text that is already in the rich text box. How can I code this second button so that the text is added to the rich text box and not replacing the current text?

I have a form called 'Bookmarks' that loads a bookmark file that contains a single word on one line. I have put buttons on the form for sorting this list, deleting items and changing the character case to lowercase, uppercase or Sentence Case.Now, deleting and sorting the list works fine, but when I try to change character cases,nothing happens. I started the debugger and found that my case changing code does work, but the listbox doesn't seem to update it's contents.I tried listbox.Update() and listbox.Refresh() but that didn't work either.
Here's my code for 'Set Case':
Private Sub setCase_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles setCase.Click If bookCase = "default" Then Exit Sub If bookCase = "lower" Then
