Preferably without turning the "Enabled" property to false, because I still need to output text from it.
I made a custom control in which there is a textbox but I want it used only as an output control, for showing text and stuff. Problem is that as soon as my form opens up the focus is turned to the textbox and I cannot catch my keyboard events on the form anymore(since the other controls are pictureboxes). I need a way to make this box "unclickable" or any way in which it is impossible to attribute the focus.[url]...
In VB.net I've got the following line that removes all non-alphanumeric chars from a string:
return Regex.Replace(build, "[W]", "")
I now need to extend this to remove non-alphanumeric chars that aren't [] or _. I've changed the line to:
return Regex.Replace(build, "[W[]_]", "")
However I'm pretty sure that this says
replace non-word or [ or ] or _
how do I negate the tests for the [] and _ chars so that it says
replace non-word and not [ and not ] and not _
Some examples:
"[Foo Bar_123456]" => "[FooBar_123456]"
"[Foo Bar_123-456*]" => "[FooBar_123456]"
I'm trying to programatically create a new Active Directory user setting the sAMAccountName attribute with a value larger than 20 chars.
When I call the DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges(), I get the error:
00000523: SysErr: DSID-031A0FB6, problem 22 (Invalid argument), data 0
If I try to create a new user setting the sAMAccountName smaller than 20 chars everything work.Before someone says the the limit of the sAMAccountName is 20 chars, I want to point out that if I try to create the same user having the sAMAccountName more than 20 chars using the Windows tool "Active Directory Users and Computers" everything works. I can see the new entry in AD using the LDP tool and the entry has the sAMAccountName with more than 20 chars.Why can't I create the user programatically using .NET?
Below is the code I'm using:
Using objDirEnt As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://my.domain.com/cn=Users,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com", "username", "Password", AuthenticationTypes.Secure Or AuthenticationTypes.Sealing)
Using usuario As DirectoryEntry = objDirEnt.Children.Add("CN=aaaaaa bbbbbbbbbb ccccccccc (aaaaaa.bbbbbb.ccccccccc)", "user")
usuario.Properties("sAMAccountName").Value = "aaaaaa.bbbbbb.ccccccccc"

I have read through some of the other posts and I think what I want to do is slightly different. I have a combo box in VB ExpEd2010 that I want to allow the user to only select from the drop down list. However, I want to be able to set the value in the combo box to something that is not in the list. So the drop down list will have values 1, 2, 3 but I want to be able to write to the same combo box a value of 2.4, 1.2, etc.
View 13 RepliesIs there a way to prevent a user from entering data into a ComboBox, rather then selecting, or can anyone suggest a routine to catch and prevent entries so the user can be made aware the they are not acceptable?
