View 3 RepliesI have a project in VS2008.Net3.5. I have 3 forms in total. The Sub Main() in Module1 first calls the Form1. Then Clicking Button1_Click event in Form1 opens up Form2. In Form2 I have a text box that I will fill out from Form3. But when I am Clicking Button1_Click event in Form1, it can't keep Form2 open but it opens up Form3 directly. I dont want this. I want to open Form2. In Form2 I will press the textbox and then we have Form3 open. But this is not working.==============

The Sub Main() in Module1 first calls the Form1. Then Clicking Button1_Click event in Form1 opens up Form2. In Form2 I have a text box that I will fill out from Form3. But when I am Clicking Button1_Click event in Form1, it can't keep Form2 open but it opens up Form3 directly. I dont want this. I want to open Form2. In Form2 I will press the textbox and then we have Form3 open. But this is not working.
I knew that in Form2 the first focus is going to the textbox and it then opening the Form3 for the GotFocus method. How can I move the focus to other control in Form2 instead of the default focus to my textbox. Or is there other event method other than GotFocus?

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

We have a main form which opens an MDI child form. What we want is to set the focus on a particular control in the child form, namely a telerik textbox. When the form is opened for the first time, the focus is set to the textbox control which has a tabIndex = 1 as expected. If the winodw is closed (and disposed) and then reopened via a button on the tool bar that calls the same code that opens the window when the application starts, no control has focus. We have added lines such as Me.rtxtPatientId.Focus() in the Paint event, load event, and activated event handlers but still cannot get the focus to the control. The code is quite extensive so posting it is difficult. However, here is the section that opens the child window:
if PatientSearchForm Is Nothing Then
PatientSearchForm = New frmPatientLookup
End If
PatientSearchForm.MdiParent = Me
PatientSearchForm.Show()
If PatientSearchForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then
PatientSearchForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
End If
PatientSearchForm.Activate()
PatientSearchForm.rtxtPatientID.Focus()

View 3 RepliesI want to have a link in an email with an ID number. Then, when the user clicks on the link in the email, it either launches my program, or brings the program to top, depending on whether it is opened or not, and then loads the record for that ID number from the link (the software is a record lookup tool).If I can figure out how to "send" the program the ID, I can figure the rest out.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to figure out how VB can focus a specific program and then send commands to the program only. The focus would only be for the commands and would not make the program you are currently in lose focus. Simply, what it is controlling is a Windows Application called GOM Player. I use it to study my material for school. I plays movies in it and don�t have to click out of the application I am working in to pause, play or rewind. The keypad and the company who make it actually have it built into iTunes and it does exactly what I want GOM Player to do.
The reason I dont just use iTunes is because I can�t get my video files to play in iTunes. After pulling teeth with the manufacture I finally to tell me that the iTunes functionality is accessible via plugins built into iTunes. So trying to mimic what is being done there does not help. I believe that a knowledgeable VB programmer could answer my question in seconds, but having some experience with coding and programing I know it also could be a lot more than what I think. [URL]
The question is: What is way that VB can send the key for the macro only to the GOM Player Application even if it is not focused or even If it is minimized.

View 2 RepliesBasically, I have a form with about 15 text boxes. Most are in different tab pages. By default, text boxes allow anybody to copy and paste by using keyboard shortcuts.I added a tool strip up top and make the "Cut", "Copy", and "Paste" buttons. What I want to do is make them work for whichever text box was last focused. So if I click the Cut button on the tool strip, it will cut the text of the
last text box that was focused.
Example:I open the program and type in TextBox1. Then I type in TextBox2. I want to copy the contents of the last text box by using the Copy key at the top, so I click that and it copies TextBox2 as it was the last focused textbox.
Like I said, I'm not fully sure how possible this is as I do have many. The whole reason I have the tool strip is for users that prefer using a mouse for everything rather than keyboard shortcuts.

I am writing a control in WPF that draws a shape on a form and then draws dimensions of this shape. These dimensions are editable so they are shown in a text box. When the user changes a dimension in a text box the shape is updated. I am updating the shape when the textbox showing the dimension loses focus i.e. as soon as the text box loses the focus the shape and all the dimensions are redrawn.
A text box loses focus in one of two ways - either when user presses tab key or when user clicks in another control outside the text box. My problem is that when user presses tab key or clicks somewhere else outside the text box the whole control is redrawn and the focus is not set to the next control where it should be. This is really annoying because tabs stop working altogether and to set a focus using mouse the user has to click twice.
An image of my control is shown below
