Interface And Graphics :: Special Characters In Multiple Text Boxes Via Buttons
Nov 14, 2008
I need to be able to add (specific) special characters to text boxes. Problem is, there are five of them spread across two forms and three tabpages. What I'd like to do is bring up a form when the user presses something like "F2" while the text boxes are focused, then on that form would be a grid of buttons. When the user pushes a button, the character is added to the box. How do I get this form to reference the box that called it without passing a global variable or calling a public function? I tried Form3.Parent.Name, but that always seems to refer to nothing. Also, once this is done how can I get it to just insert a character where the cursor on the calling box is? It probably shouldn't even be on a form either since that will take the focus when it's called (which I don't want)

I have alot of text boxes across alot of forms in ASP.NET programming in code behind pages in VB. I want to ensurethe user does not enter such characters as ' " ( ) or any which could mess up the sql syntax the script makes, and with some will validate what they entered is of numerical value.
Now I know you can stop the text box allowing such characters in a Windows application, but cannot find for the life of me a way of doing such in a web application - and its not really viable to perform a sub-string check at the click of a button for every box

I'm new to VB, now working with VB 2008 Express Edition. Was once very proficient with "procedural" languages of the 70's (eg. Fortran, COBOL, etc), but totally new to OOP and the "Visual" languages. Despite being a quick study, eloping a user interface to a USB-connected infrared remote control device. The UI's graphical element (a "virtual remote") will be a PHOTO of the IR remote control device supplied by my target-equipment's mfr, OVERLAYED with functional software control buttons in their respective positions. "Pressing" a button on the virtual remote will cause the USB device to emit the desired IR code sequence.

My app allows the user to set a new button on a tabpage, move it and resize it. They will do this over a background image so the buttons line up with images in the background.Without the background image, the buttons move smoothly and quickly. With the image turned on, the buttons want to move sloooowly and they drag. I made up this code just to show the basic function of what I am trying to accomplish.
Code:
Public Class Form1
Public finalshape As Region

I have a text box where users will enter 4 digits that are ONLY numbers 0-9. I have blocked all letters and less than 4 or greater than 4 digits. But, for example if I enter 10.0, it will throw an exception, due to incorrect math used later in the prog. So how can I block the use of a (.) or any special character for that matter! I am using specific msgboxes to let the user know what isn't allowed, and would like to do the same for special characters.
What I have so far:
If Val(txtEntered.Text) < 0 Or
(IsNumeric(txtEntered.Text) = False) Then
MsgBox("Sorry, but letters are not allowed!")

I'm working on a form in which strings of text are being imported. A lot of these strings contain special characters, like �, �, �, &, �, etc...
When I convert these strings to text, so they can be shown as labels, the special characters either disappear (like the '&' sign) or they are shown as some sort of icons. How can I let VB handle these strings, so the special characters are shown the way they should, without having to change the (many hundreds) original strings of text?

I'm working on a small app that takes a series of screenshots to analyze a graph. The problem I'm having is that, on my 3-monitor setup, the screenshot works fine on the primary monitor, but when I drag my app to either of the other monitors, the screenshot is black. I've also tried taking screenshots of the other monitors while the app is in the primary monitor by feeding the coordinates into the CopyFromScreen call directly, and that works, but as soon as I drag my app to one of the other monitors, all my screenshots are black. Also, and I'm pretty sure this will be important later, my primary monitor is attached to the on-board video, whereas the other two are attached to a separate video card. Both the on-board and installed cards are ATI Radeons.
Here's the screenshot code I'm using:
Code:
Namespace ScreenShot
'/ Provides functions to capture the screen, in whole or part
Public Class ScreenCapture

I have a strange problem; on my form there is a TabControl, and every tab contains a DataGridView.I set all DataGridViews Autosize column property to DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill and then I set for every column the width with FillWeight, using the same set of values for every DataGridView.Although all these DataGridViews should look the same, the one on the first TAB looks different, it looks like I used different FillWeight values.All others DataGridViews on subsequent tabs looks the same, only the one on the first tab looks different..

I have encrypted a string to something like this:
1. Asak2$)kla1015QAXKFskfa332aSJ2(Ska@Skljcmcel3p.lq,aowpqaskla2@)Skx.:Pdm^),dfs;
what i want to is convert this string to something like this
2. JXK2LB AP2WXB S1P0XE ZXPA3H X1LAKW DOXPS3
both 1 & 2 the above strings are fictitious (i made them up to make my point clear)
I am trying to make a licensing system for my VB 2010 express application. (2) above will act as a serial key which can be derived from (1) which is an encrypted form of something unique of the client computer.
I will then confirm the (2) from the client.

Essentially I am trying to replicate the Windows 7 (In-Windows) activation key TextBox form. The Form where it will auto capitalize letters, remove or deny all non alphanumeric characters except dashes every 5 characters that will be auto-input.I assume this can be done with a fairly complicated replacement Regular Expression but I cannot seem to create one to fit the needs.
This is an Example of what I have right now, but it creates an infinite loop as it removes all characters including dashes, than adds a dash, which changes the text and removes the dash again.

I have two textboxes. I type in one of them and the text gets copied in real time into another textbox. There is one catch. I need to replace specific character with something else.
If I enter a quote " in textbox1, it has to be replaced with " in textbox2.
I started with something like the below code, but obviously this does not work (tried different stuff - this is for demonstration only). In the example below 'a' represents " , and 'b' represents "
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyUp
TextBox2.Text = TextBox1.Text

I am attempting to fill a form with multiple rows from an access table based off of a parameterized query. My query works fine but I don't want to return one row at a time, I want to return all rows that match my query in multiple text boxes. I know that I can use a datagrid view to accomplish this, but I would prefer the look of a textboxes on a form. I have read through many books and searched the internet forums but think I may just not know what to search for as nothing has worked yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction. So far I have tried setting the text box value to the row().item(), creating a different dataset for each row, and even setting variables for the results of the query to then be passed to the text boxes. Since none of this work, I don't really have any starting code to post. If I could just get a starting point I could work from there, so don't feel the need to code anything for me, just set me in the right direction.

I have a vb2008 combo box with the DropDownStyle property set to DropDownList.Now, when I set the text property to something programatically nothing happens. That is, the "something" doesn't show up on the control with list collapsed. It still doesn't show even if I force an update(If DropDownStyle property is set to DropDown, setting the text property programatically works fine, even without forcing an update).

I want my Richtext box to be populated with a text string that contains HTML-style tags to set colour, underline etc.When I try to remove the tags using .cut(), the first cut always works, the second cut only sometimes.Here's a sample to test it:Create a new project and add a button and a richtext box.Add the following code:
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim testString As String = "ABC<R>DEF</R>GHIJKL"
[code]....
This code works fine.The text between the tags is turned red, then the tags are removed.Now rem out the msgbox line and run again.Sometimes it works, sometimes the second cut fails with no message or warning.I am using Visual Basic 2010
Visual Studio 2010 v 10.0.30319.1
.NET framework v 4.0.30319

I have a rich text box with images and the formating all setup right. I am tyring to print them to the default printer. I think I am on the right track but need some direction.
Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage
Dim fnt As New Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point)
e.Graphics.DrawString(rtbReceipt.Text, fnt, Brushes.Black, 0, 0)
e.HasMorePages = False
End Sub
This prints only the text in rtbReceipt, but no images and no format.

i have an old VB6 system that generates plain text files. When this old system writes "A" into the file, it writes (hex) "41". For an "ä" (a-umlaut, special gernam character), it writes (hex) "E4".
Now i have to process files like this in VB.Net. when i open such a file in the IDE, it displays correctly "ä" (But not always!). To see what i mean, please open a notepad and create a new file "ae.txt" with content: äöü. Now your file contains exactly 3 bytes: (hex) E4 F6 FC.
But when i write code like
Dim strTest As String
strTest = File.ReadAllText("ae.txt")
Debug.Print(InStr(strTest, "ä"))
i get 0 - so i cannot find back the "ä" - what do i need to do, to find it? And 2) for compatibility reasons, i have also to be able to create such files. How to do that? Seems the different encoding types do not work as i think.

I can whip up a program that deals with text boxes, buttons, checkboxes, etc. fairly easily. I know how to deal with arrays and stuff like that, and I am just barely able to open/write to files (I don't quite have it down, but almost). However, when it comes to drawing graphics. Right now all I'm looking to do is create a function that will draw a pixel or really tiny rectangle at my command to use as the building block of drawing images. I saw some example code here:
Of how to have it draw a rectangle upon opening a form, and I was able to do that. But I guess I'm not quite sure how to make a function like that be performed when I do something like press a button (or just anywhere in a segment of code).It's probably because I don't understand this line:
[code...]
I understand that it makes a non-public sub called Form1_Paint, but I'm not quite sure about the arguments passed and what "Handles Me.Paint" really means. I'm not sure how to make this (if I can make it) into a function that I can call anywhere (in the button1.click code, for example) to make it display a pixel.
how I could do that? Either that, or just explain what the piece of code above is actually saying?

Is there a way to enter text in a text box programatically, without the "changed" event being fired? Or do I have to use a flag to indicate that nothing should be done when the text is changed by the program?
