I have a routine that iterates thru a collection and I want to print each iteration into a TextBox without having the second iteration overprint the first and so on. How do I position the text cursor between each iteration thru the 'For Each' that I am using?

I'm trying to make it so that that user can enter predefined text by a button event (which will save them time typing). For example, they're writing a note in a textbox and then they click a 'Name" button which enters the name of the person into the text box at the place of the cursor, which will cut down on errors caused by typos.
So I need something like:
Button_click event()
textbox.AddAtCursor(person.name)
end sub
I am trying to work out how I can insert the string "End" into my textbox at a specific cursor point?
(where the '???' is in the code below)As you can see by the code below this will happen when the user clicks return on the keyboard within the textbox.
I have the code to get the cursor index which is being stored as integer 'intcurrentcolumn'. Private Sub Enter_Click(ByVal Sender As System.Object, ByVal k As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)

I have a text box with some text inside it;
the text is long (say 100 chars);
the textbox can display about 20 chars.
The following code:
tbxTest.SelectionStart = 5
tbxTest.SelectionLength = 60
selects a part of the text and sets the cursor (blinking beam) at the and of the selection, in this case the first caracters of the selected text is out of the user sight because the textbox is too small to display the entire selection.
Is it possible to force the cursor to be at the beginning of the selection so the first part of the text is visible? (as if I had selected my text with the mouse dragging from the end back towards the beginning)
I am working in VB 2008 and I have a textbox on a form that is used to enter a parcel number. I can enter the number in a 15 character string such as 12345678...... and it works just fine. The parcel number in real life contains dashes to make it easier to read, decipher, etc. so it looks like 12-3-45-67....... Under the textchanged subroutine for the textbox I have a case statement set up that checks the length of the parcel number as it is entered and inserts the dash accordingly.

how can i make my cursor to jump to the next textbox after i type the digit
View 3 RepliesI want to create a custom control that has a cursor like a regular text box, I tried using a line and a timer that makes the line 'Blink', but that wasn't too reliable because I had to change the location and background in the timer... I guess I could do it, but I wanted to ask my question here.
Basically what I am doing is creating a custom control to allow inputs as in fractions, sub/superscripts, etc.... The TextBox Control doesn't support text in that many locations.
How do you call the text that appears when holding cursor on a control as an explanation and how to implement it??? It has to be easy but I don't know how to do it For example Microsoft application functions all have it?
View 3 RepliesI have a user control, and want to be able to update its cursor while it is disabled. For example, say that I have a user control whose cursor is Default. The below code works ONLY when the user control is already enabled; if it is disabled the below code doesn't work and the cursor remains Default: Me.MY_USER_CONTROL.Cursor = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.WaitCursor

I am working in vb2008. I have a series of textboxes on a form that I am using for my application. I cut and paste information into one of my textboxes as a description for the record. Most times the information is simple text but sometimes the text I am pasting is formated with carriage returns and special characters. I need my data to always go into this textbox unformatted.

View 3 RepliesI have a string that will be of varying lengths. I want to display this string in a textbox so scroll bars will appear if the string is larger than the size of the text box. This info is read only - I don't want to give the user any input with it.I still see a cursor and my string highlighted even with the ReadOnly set to true.Is there any way to disable the cursor altogether in a textbox so nothing is highlighted?Maybe I'm not using the best control for this, but I don't want to use a label.I generate this textbox at run time, if that matters at all.
View 4 RepliesI have a form which uses many TextBox's. TextBox1 through TextBox3 are already working the way I need them to. The other 123 I am having a small issue with. Basically, I need to detect which TextBox (4-85) the cursor is in, since a change in that box will modify some or many of the other boxes.
If I use something like TextBox4.Text.Changed, I will get caught in a massive loop, since a change in TextBox4 will alter the contents of TextBox36 and TextBox44. A Change in TextBox36 will alter TextBox4,5,6,7 and 44, and a change in TextBox44 will alter TextBox4-43.
The second set of TextBox's (45-85) act the same way. The last group of TextBoxes (86-126) are calculations based on the other 2 sets and are not user adjustable.

View 3 RepliesI am new to Visual Basic and i am using VS 2008. I have a form with multiple (7) text boxes. What i would like to accomplish is basically, when i click on textbox 1 a predefined message would load to label1 and when i click on textbox2 label1 would now displays a different pre-defined message and etc... I've tried using the "focus" parameter of the textbox but it doesn't work. So i am thinking of using the cursor as a way to solve my problem but i don't know how to work with it. I found a very similar thread titled " Detect when the cursor is in a textbox/typing in webbrowser?" on this forum but i don't think it applies to my situation.

View 5 RepliesI have a form with many, many buttons but lets say ten, and I have named them one, two, three all the way up to ten. When I move the mouse over one of them, I want the name of it to appear on a label. When I move away the label should be empty. So when I point (not click) on "Three" that's what the label should say, and if I move on to the next button the label should read "Four"... I'm sure you get my point.
As you can see, what I really want is to get the name of the button under the cursor and store that name as a string, and then use that string to make things happen. With only ten buttons I can easily write ten MouseHover events, and ten MouseLeave events, one for each button, but that defeats the purpose of my question. I want to be able to write only one Hover and one Leave event and the use it for how many buttons I choose to use in my application.

I have a drop down menu, and based on which item is selected, I call a web service and then dynamically create some text boxes.The first time I drop down the menu and select an item, it works perfectly, and the text boxes are created and populated dynamically. However, the next time I drop down the menu (after the first postback), and select something different..fter the second postback, the original values remain in the textboxes.
