Keep Text Selected When Focus Changes VB 2005?
May 6, 2009I am working on a form that allows the user to open a plaintext file into a rich text box.The user can search for a word using a textbox and a find button. The word is then highlighted. I cannot figure out how to keep the word highlighted or selected when I type in my replace box or click anywhere else on the form, the word is no longer selected. have a replace button, which will replace any single instance of a word. But my replace all button is supposed to replace all of the words, and count the number of replacements it makes and display that number in a message box

View 3 RepliesVB Datagrid Disable AutoScrolling Focus On Selected Column?
Jun 7, 2011My problem is I have a data grid in Visual Basic, it works fine but as the columns extend past the width of the window I needed a scroll bar. This is where the problem arose. When a column past the 4th is clicked the scrollbar will shift to give it focus. As there are check boxes here they are constantly clicked and when they are the scroll bar shifts but the button isn't checked and must be clicked again. I was hoping there was a way to disable this Auto focus so clicking a column will not cause the scrollbar to move.

View 2 RepliesText Field Will Not Focus
May 16, 2012I'm working on this project, and when the form loads it should automatically put the Focus on the username field if it is empty, however if there is a username - put the focus on where you write your message.Below is the code, and it simply doesn't seem to work for whatever reason. I have tried several methods of it, and even commented out every other line of code in the application to make sure there was no interference, and there was none. is there anything that could possibly overwrite the ability to do this? Some setting I need to change? etc etc?

Focus On A Text Box On Form Load?
Mar 4, 2009On my Form_Load event, I simply have a code which is simply Text1.Focus and Text1.SelectAll. Neither of these actually works. I've also tried this on the Visible_Changed event and checked if the form is visible.
I can create a button with this code in and it works fine. Is this something to do with the text box not actually being visible at the time when the code is executed? It's driving me mad!

Select Textbox Text On Focus?
Jun 18, 2011I'm using the code below to select the text within my textbox during the mousedown event. It works great when the HeaderChanged sub is not called. The problem is, the HeaderChanged sub will always be called on the textbox's focus event.If the user clicks the far right portion of the textbox the whole text value will be selected (like it should), but if the user clicks near the left side of the textbox only a portion of the text will be selected.

View 5 Replies.net - Adapt Text Validation Function To Consider Selected Text?
Jun 4, 2010I have this function which evaluates the contents of a textbox (or combobox or maskedtextbox) control and, in conjunction with a KeyPress event, will either allow or disallow the input. It is quite useful for dates or textboxes for which only numeric input is valid. It allows a set number of digits after a single decimal point, if specified in the function call. It also allows the backspace character if the textbox is full.
I would like it to allow me to input what would otherwise be valid text when the textbox is full but one or more characters are highlighted (and would therefore be replaced by the keypress character.

View 1 RepliesForms :: Form Losing Focus - Keeps Loosing Focus ?
Nov 26, 2009I 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.

View 3 RepliesLost Focus Event, What Control Is Getting Focus?
Mar 21, 2012I 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
