Forms :: Changing The Backcolor Of A Control When It Has Focus And Lost Focus?

Feb 16, 2011

Is there a more efficient/easier way changing the backcolor of a control when it has focus and lost focus? Let's say I've got 10 text boxes. Right now I would have 20 different events...10 for Enter event and 10 for Leave event. Of course, entering would change the back color to "green" and leaving would change it back to "white".

Lost Focus Event, What Control Is Getting Focus?

Mar 21, 2012

I have a textbox on a form that when it loses focus it updates other text boxes on the form. But before it updates the other textboxes I check the input value in the textbox lostfocus event if it is undesired I return focus to the the textbox and alert the the user with a msgbox. However where my problem is, is that when the cancel button is clicked I don't care what the input in the textbox is because the changes are being canceled but if the value is undesired the it keeps returning focus to the textbox instead of canceling the changes. Is there a way to see what control was clicked on before or in the lost focus event? Can't seem to figure it out tried enter and leave events but no luck!

So for example something like this...

Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus
If Control that was clicked <> btnCancel then

Forms :: Restore A Windows Form Which Is Minimized And Has Lost Focus?

Dec 2, 2009

I have created an app which has a timer control which, when activated and meets a certain criteria, launches a second form with an alert for the user to review and action. this works just fine. Except.... when the main app is minimised and has lost focus, instead of launching the second form to a normal windows state it opens and sits in a minimized state itself and just flashes. How can I get the the second form to restore to a normal windows state?I have tried form2.focus and tried the windowsstate=normal etc but I'm still barking up the wrong tree.

Forms :: Form Losing Focus - Keeps Loosing Focus ?

Nov 26, 2009

I have two forms in an application. One is he background and then I show another keypad form called with the show() method (not showDialog) because I need to perform some validations on btn click.

The kepad has 10 buttons and an Enter Button. The problem is that the form keeps loosing focus (I checked this with a messagebox which keeps poping up once for focus=true and again for focus=false, it continuously keeps losing and gaining focus) so it does not process any keypress events untill i click somewhere on the form. I tried using me.focus() in form load event but to no avail. The forms TopMost property is also set to true.

Lost Focus In Program

Nov 25, 2011

I have a form with 7 textboxes, all describing different attributes of a used car. In the shared leave event of my tb's, I need to code a case statement which determines the particular textbox that lost focus. I then need to perform different tasks which I understand how to do, and I don't think they matter to my question.

I understand how to give focus (txtTextBox.focus()), but how do you tell if something has lost focus?

And furthermore, how would you use that to structure the case statement?

Arrow Keys In MDI Focus Is Lost

Nov 28, 2009

I had previously made a simple Pong program which use keyboard to control. The control includes "s" to start the game, "p" to pause, "r" to resume and left, right to move the paddle specifically. This program work with little problem. The first problem I encounter is if I insert even one single button on the form to display instruction, the arrow keys will no longer work. But I get around it by using Menu Strip instead.

Then, I am required to put this program, among others into a MDI program. And this is where the problem happen. If I have this Pong game loaded, and I press "s", "p", or "r" keys, it have no problem, but if I press the "left" or "right" keys, it will not move. I am speculating that maybe the focus is lost when arrow keys is pressed or something similar, but I have absolutely no idea what is happening. I have tried giving focus back to the form if focus is lost, but to no avails. And this is the code for the movement of the paddle. This reside on a form, the movement itself is passed to another class. The MDI parent is on another form. [Code]

Know My Application Lost Focus In Program?

May 10, 2012

I am using VB.NET to build my application. And in my application has a lot of Forms. It doesn't use MDI Parent Form, but I use another simple Window Form (I named it frmMain) that I suppose it is my MDI Parent Form. When frmMain load, windowState = Maximized. And when I open a Form (example: I named it frmCustomer) that I suppose it is my child Form, and I set its properties (frmCustomer.TopMost=True) when it load, so it always on the top. But When I change to open another application such as Ms. Word or Mozilla Firefox... the frmCustomer is still on the top. how can I know my frmMain lost focus?

IDE :: Add Data From DataGridView To Database When The Current Row Lost Its Focus?

Oct 3, 2009

I have a small doubt: (VB.Net 2005, MS-Access 2007)Is it possible to add the current row from DGV to DB as soon as the row lost its focus..i.e. whenever i add a new row in DataGridView it should automatically get inserted into the database without pressing any buttons... Bcoz i need to add more new rows dynamically & hence i find little difficult in clicking the ADD button again and again to insert each and every Record.

C# - Set Focus To A Deeply Nested Control In Windows Forms?

Jul 19, 2011

I have a main form that contains a vertical SplitContainer.Inside the SplitContainer's left panel, I have a TreeView control.Inside the SplitContainer's right panel, I have another SplitContainer (this one horizontal). This container is fixed, with headings above the split and a Panel control below it.I dynamically load my own user controls into the Panel control whenever the tree view changes.

Most of the user controls that are dynamically loaded have a DataGridView that should receive focus when the control is initialized. Sometimes this grid is on the UserControl surface directly; sometimes it's in a GroupBox; etc.What is the best way to programmatically set focus on the DataGridView control, given that it may placed within a variable number of control containers? I've tried the obvious - .Select, .Focus, .ActiveControl, etc. None of these seem to work - the TreeView item that I selected is still highlighted, and even though a record is selected in the DataGridView, it doesn't have focus.

Here's the code where I add the user control within the main form:

Private Sub LoadRightPanel(ByVal section As String, ByVal moduleName As String)
Heading.Text = String.Empty
SuspendLayout()
RightPanel.Controls.Clear()

Updated:I found out that the ComboBox doesn't change the data when the DisplayMember is in English characters. It changes only when the DisplayMember is in Unicode chracter.

Changing Focus Between MDI Children

Jun 3, 2011

A common problem I have come across when migrating from VB6 to VB.NET is that to change the focus between MDI children, you can't just click any control to give that child focus, you must click its title bar. The solution that I have found works is to enter the child form's Designer and change the following:

Code:
#Region "Windows Form Designer generated code "
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCode()> Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
'This is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
[Code] .....

This needs to be done on all child forms in the project. If one form does not have the fix, once it's opened, the bug will return even when the form is closed.

Tool Strip Container Tools Strip Lost Focus And Double Click?

Aug 19, 2011

"Form1" has a ToolStripContainer1.TopToolStripPanel which contains a ToolStrip with buttons. The buttons work on ONE click when "Form1" is active.If I click on another window and then return to "Form1" the ToolStrip buttons take TWO clicks to activate.The first click returns focus to "Form1" and the subsequent click fires the button event.I want the buttons to work on the first click and not require two clicks.Note that ordinary buttons on "Form1" that are not part of the ToolStrip work on the first click when returning from another window/form?

LEAVE Event And LOST FOCUS Event When Entering Data

Feb 9, 2011

I have a Visual Basic Program that, when I enter data into a textbox, uses LEAVE events to update it. However, it will not update until I go to another textbox or press a button or other similar control.This also happens when using the LOST FOCUS event.How can I make the textbox update (be it doing a financial recalculation or some other custom function) happen when the user clicks/tabs out of the textbox and NOT having to click on a button or into another textbox?Do you recommend having a separate button for performing the custom functions?

However, when done working with it, and closing the Dialog1, the focus returns to cell 3 in my Datagridview1 . I like to set the focus on the next cell(4) making it the current cell.

I have tryed :

DataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.CellSelect
DataGridView1.CurrentCell = DataGridView1.Item(4, e.RowIndex)

DataGridView1.CurrentCell = DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells(4)

And few other things, I am always getting this exception: Operation is not valid because it results in a reentrant call to the SetCurrentCellAddressCore function.
