Select Textbox Text On Focus?
Jun 18, 2011
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.

When a Windows Forms TextBox control first receives the focus the cursor has to be there at first position in the Textbox.
We have tried to resolve the above issue by adding below code in form load event.
TextBox1.SelectionStart = 0
TextBox1.SelectionLength = 0
Now, when a Windows Forms TextBox control first receives the focus, the default insertion (cursor) within the text box is to the left of any existing text. The user can move the insertion point with the keyboard or the mouse. If the text box loses and then regains the focus, the insertion point will be wherever the user last placed it.
But the problem is when some operation is performed in TextBox_Leave event, it will loose the focus. Again when it receives the focus, the whole text is getting selected instead of showing cursor where the user left.

I need the text within a textbox to be selected when the user clicks in via the mouse, if the user uses the Tab key the text is selected. I have tried Handlers .Enter / .GotFocus / .MouseClick / .MouseUp with textbox1.SelectAll() but it doesn't select the text.

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 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

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

For some sort of reason, which I can't seem to spot, this fails and I get a #Name? error. When I tried to do this, I use pretty much the same code in another place in my form; the only difference is the "cbo" and the names of my txt and alike.
[code]...
Can anyone spot my error? What I wish the code would do is when I Select something in my cboVarenummer, the TextBox txtVarenavn changes its text to what the sql statement returns.

For some reason i can't select text with the mouse in my application.Also my clients experience the same behaviour.I know it was possible to select a part of the textbox and it stayd selected. Now the selection dissappears and the cursor moves to the front.Only a doubleclick functions properly but selects a single word only.

In VB6, Something.SetFocus sets the focus to that Something. No problems there - in .Net it's called .Focus.On another thread I was told (twice!) to use Something.Select in a particular scenario (which works fine by the way).

I'm using something call ultragrid in my program.The program works as a mini-record keeping area (Like any datagrid, really). Well, I am adding a history to it and it allows the user to see the last 50 records searched. They get a grid showing the records. This, thus far, works perfectly What I want to do is this: I want to select a record (A cell) in the column 'Dog and have the text of that cell appear in a textbox. This is what I've tried with no success.

Private Sub HistoryTextBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles HistoryTextBox.TextChanged
If ugHistoryButton.ActiveRow.Cells("Dog").Selected = True Then

It just doesn't seem to want to transfer over when I select the cell in the 'Dog' column.

Basically, I have a form with about 15 text boxes. Most are in different tab pages. By default, text boxes allow anybody to copy and paste by using keyboard shortcuts.I added a tool strip up top and make the "Cut", "Copy", and "Paste" buttons. What I want to do is make them work for whichever text box was last focused. So if I click the Cut button on the tool strip, it will cut the text of the
last text box that was focused.
Example:I open the program and type in TextBox1. Then I type in TextBox2. I want to copy the contents of the last text box by using the Copy key at the top, so I click that and it copies TextBox2 as it was the last focused textbox.
Like I said, I'm not fully sure how possible this is as I do have many. The whole reason I have the tool strip is for users that prefer using a mouse for everything rather than keyboard shortcuts.

I am writing a control in WPF that draws a shape on a form and then draws dimensions of this shape. These dimensions are editable so they are shown in a text box. When the user changes a dimension in a text box the shape is updated. I am updating the shape when the textbox showing the dimension loses focus i.e. as soon as the text box loses the focus the shape and all the dimensions are redrawn.
A text box loses focus in one of two ways - either when user presses tab key or when user clicks in another control outside the text box. My problem is that when user presses tab key or clicks somewhere else outside the text box the whole control is redrawn and the focus is not set to the next control where it should be. This is really annoying because tabs stop working altogether and to set a focus using mouse the user has to click twice.
An image of my control is shown below
