Make Textbox Stop Typing When A User Types Numbers?
Apr 2, 2011
Is there a way to make the textbox stop typing when a user types numbers? I don't want an error message, I'd just like the user to be able to insert 10 numbers and then it shouldn't add any newly typed numbers.[code]....
i have a texbox TextChange event which every time when a user hind a character in it , am querying data to my database and display that data under a datagridview control.but my data now have been grow up and still going, every time am enetering a character to the textbox is taking time to query that data and if the user type a quickly word then a lag occures to the textbox.
i have seen a lot of programs and microsoft programs that when a user is typing is not seacrhing anything unless the user stop typing .with out having any other event of focus lost or anything.can i do that also in my application with an easy way and avoid using timers or any complex way?
I have a form that allows users to enter information into a few textboxes. When users click save, the information will be transferred into the datagridview.
My problem now is, for instance, there is a textbox called "Price" with the datatype "money" which users are only allowed to enter numbers. If users enter alphabets, errors will occur. I don't wanna use try catch, I would like to try different methods such stopping users from entering anything into the textbox when the datatype isn't correct - nothing will appear in the textbox when users hit all the keys in the keyboard except for numbers.
I need to do it like this. while typing ex. 100000, the textbox would display 100,000. I tried everything I know, I fired up keypress and textchanged events but still failed.
Is there a built in way to know when a user is done typing into a textbox? (Before hitting tab, Or moving the mouse) I have a database query that occurs on the textchanged event and everything works perfectly. However, I noticed that there is a bit of lag of course because if a user is quickly typing into the textbox the program is busy doing a query for each character. So what I was hoping for was a way to see if the user has finished typing. So if they type "a" and stop then an event fires. However, if they type "all the way" the event fires after the y keyup. Like measuring the time since the last textchange event and if it was > than a certain value then it would proceed to run the rest of my procedures.
In an application I have, when a user types in a textbox, the data in a listview is refreshed to reflect what the user is typing.As it stands, it does a refresh after each key is entered.Is there any way to smartly wait until the user has finished typing before initiating a data refresh?
Is there a way to find out if the "TextChanged" event is fired because the user is typing into a textbox or the programmer called myTextBox.Text = "something"? I don't want to react when the user is typing each letter into the textbox so I am using the "Validated" event to catch when the user is done so I can react. The problem is I don't have a way to catch when the programmer does "myTextbox.Text = "something". The only way I know to catch changes there is to use TextChanged but then I don't want to be reacting when the user is typing each letter into the textbox.
I'm trying to work out how i can make my multithreaded app stop at a certain point and wait for the user to type something into a text box and click ok. It must then carry on and when a different thread gets to that point it stops again and waits for the user to input some text again.
I am new to VB.Net and programming all together. I am trying to make a program that will take 2 numbers input by the user, Add them together and display the sum. Then take the sum and divide it individually by each number to give you what percent of the sum the numbers are. I'm working on making it a program that will calculate the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for my Anthro Class. I'm just doing this for practice for my VB.Net Class. But i will move onto that at a later time. I just want to finish this first.
So.. Here is my code so far. It's not complete yet but this is should be enough to make it function.
hows to make a textbox accept only numbers? and ".". i tried looking in the Help, couldnt find something relating to it. i guess it's something to do with the keys pressed on the keyboard so if i could determine and reject certain keys (anything thats not a number) it could work.
I want to know the codes to show numbers one by one continuously from 1 to 20 on clicking a button, and it should keep on doing it till a Button is clicked.I know how to get a Random number to for it but I don't know how to do for numbers in normal order .
I'm trying to make an application where when the user clicks a button, it generates a series of 100 random numbers between 1 and 1000, and then saves those numbers in a text file. All I could come up with is generating ONE random number, but I can't figure out how to make it 100. Here is what I have:
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'd like you filter some results in a grid, and i want the user to be able to type a value into a textbox, and then the grid will be filtered by that value. I don't need help with the grid or how to populate it. My question is in regards to the textbox; How can i tell when the user has stopped typing so i can automatically load the grid? I thought about doing a refresh automatically in the TextChanged event, but that seems silly since the user could still be typing more characters.
how can i format a number while typing it on a textbox. For example, I type 1234.50 on a textbox and it will show 1,234.50 on the same textbox. I am trying this with my code but with no luck.
Private Sub txtClimit_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtClimit.TextChanged Me.txtClimit.Text = FormatNumber(Me.txtClimit.Text, 2, , , TriState.True) End Sub
I want to format the contents of my textbox while typing.I know that I can do this in LostFocus event, but I want it to be done while I am typing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to implement this?
i've got my basic AutoTyper ready (well and one with autoupdating etc in it) but it's only a singular line. [Code] What I want to do it to type multiple lines, I know I'll have to enable multiline on the TextBox. I want it to type one line per time interval using 1 timer. I don't know how but I know it would have to count the lines but from then on I'm stuck. I will need to make it type line 1, then on the next loop line 2 and go on until it's reached the amount of lines from the count then repeat from line 1. [Code]
I want that it is not possible to type anything in a textbox, but i do need to place something in it. This is my temporary
Private Sub textbox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles textbox1.TextChanged If textbox1.Text = Nothing Then Else textbox1.Text = Nothing End If End Sub
But in this way I cant place anything either. I want only that it is not possible to type something in it.
I'm using a custom webbrowser to display a special intranet for my company.I need to be able to display a custom keyboard whenever the user can type in the webbrowser. So if they click on a textbox within the page to type, this custom keyboard appears.when the user is in 'typing mode'. I thought maybe checking when the cursor changes to 'ibeam' which is the typing cursor? How might I do that, or is there an easier way?
I want it when I type anything, it will start at the third character of the textbox. Ex. I have this amount textbox that has .00 on it, whenever I type numbers it will start after the period. So if I type 300 then it will show 300.00
