Retaining The Highlighted Text In A Textbox When A Form Looses Focus?
Apr 30, 2009
I have two forms, one has a textbox on it the other also has textbox on it. Form1's textbox is the source for text found. form2's textbox contains the search criteria.
This the code that I quickly bashed out to do a find functionality of a textbox. The problem is the last line of code. If I use the last line of code the the Source Form.s textbox is highlighted however if the Source Form is Maximised then the Find form will be hehind the Source Form. I don't want that to happen. Secondondly if I dont use the last line of code then the the text isn't seleceted at all.
Private Sub DoFind(ByVal xControl As Control)
Dim x As Boolean = TypeOf xControl Is TextBox
Static Dim lastfoundPosition As Integer = 1
I can Highlight the row in a datagridview. If I don't scroll down a few hundred rows. I will not see it highlighted. How can I automatically scroll to the highlighted row?[code]...
I have a form with two overlapping images. The images are exactly the same size and location on the form. The upper image is a GIF and is set to transparent. I have set the lower image as a parent of the upper as follows:
Me.PictureBox4.Parent = Me.PictureBox1
The transparency works fine but for some reason the upper image moves to the lower right of the parent image when I run the program.
I'm trying to highlight the text when the textbox gets focus, like an address bar of browsers. I'm using this code so far:
[Code]...
And it works fine, but I'd like to do the same thing on the click event. Here's my problem. The same code of enter event in text box, apparently doesn't work on mouse down and mose up.
I'm using the code below to select the text within my textbox during the mousedown event. It works great when the HeaderChanged sub is not called. The problem is, the HeaderChanged sub will always be called on the textbox's focus event.If the user clicks the far right portion of the textbox the whole text value will be selected (like it should), but if the user clicks near the left side of the textbox only a portion of the text will be selected.
I'm working on an application to write reports for the work I do. I have a Grid filled with Textboxes inside a Scrollviewer to input data for the report. I am using the arrow keys to navigate around the grid. The focus moves to the expected Textbox when the arrow keys are pressed but if I press any other key it is immediately followed by a Tab to the next Textbox. Even a Tab is followed by another Tab. Following is the code I use for the navigation.
Private Sub svReportPage_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs) Handles svReportPage.KeyUp Dim focusDirection As FocusNavigationDirection If e.Key = Key.Right Then focusDirection = FocusNavigationDirection.Right If e.Key = Key.Left Then focusDirection = FocusNavigationDirection.Left [Code] .....
I make a user control with textbox. When user press enter and textbox doesn't have any text then a search form open. Search a data and select some think and return to main form where my textbox control insert. I write a code below :
If txtIsbn.Text = "" And e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then Frm_Book_Search.FormLoad = True Frm_Book_Search.ShowDialog(Me)
[CODE]...
But problem is that when Frm_Book_Search close and it must be focus in textbox but it not happend. when user close the frm_Book_Search form then not focus my application another software if open at that time it will be focus that software. if there is not open any software then it is not any problem it will be focus my application in my textbox. how can i write code to focus current form after close frm_Book_Search form.
I have a problem.I want to set the focus on TextBox1 when the form loads. TextBox1 has a tab index > 1. I put this line in the form load subroutine:TextBox1.Focus()It does not work! However if I make a button and put the above line of code to its click event procedure, then TextBox1 get the focus.
I 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.==============
Module Module1 Public frm1 As Form1 Public Sub Main()
[Code]....
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?
Just a quick question my textbox1.text seems to get focus when I run the APP.how do I cancel any focus to any textbox?I just don't want to select it or anything when I work with it only when the user select or uses it.
On my Form_Load event, I simply have a code which is simply Text1.Focus and Text1.SelectAll. Neither of these actually works. I've also tried this on the Visible_Changed event and checked if the form is visible.
I can create a button with this code in and it works fine. Is this something to do with the text box not actually being visible at the time when the code is executed? It's driving me mad!
I am populating a Checkedlistbox "lstExpert" from table "TableA" succesfully. Whenever an item is checked in the Checkedlistbox "lstExpert", i am saving it into another table "GroupExpert".
[code...]
Is it the right way to do by comparing index in Checkedlistbox "lstExpert" and "Listbox1" Is there a way to bind it directly to the table "GroupExpert" meaning if the value of the Checkedlistbox "lstExpert" is present in the "GroupExpert" then the item will be cheked... I tried the following code and nothing seems to work.[code...]

I have two forms in an application. One is he background and then I show another keypad form called with the show() method (not showDialog) because I need to perform some validations on btn click.
The kepad has 10 buttons and an Enter Button. The problem is that the form keeps loosing focus (I checked this with a messagebox which keeps poping up once for focus=true and again for focus=false, it continuously keeps losing and gaining focus) so it does not process any keypress events untill i click somewhere on the form. I tried using me.focus() in form load event but to no avail. The forms TopMost property is also set to true.

I'm trying to create copy in a menu however i'm having trouble to get it to work as i want it to. I've seen many tutorials online that have 2 textboxes and the code to the copy control is simply TextBox1.Copy() and paste is TextBox2.Paste(). This is fine but what about when you want to copy from TextBox2 to TextBox1 or when you want to copy only part of the highlighted text? Does anyone know what i can use to get it properly working?
