I am building a vb.net application for a company. In my application, I have a form which has many textboxes. When user set focus on them, all the text in is selected. My problem is I don't want to write a code for each textbox because there many of them.

View 7 RepliesI'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.

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.

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.

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

View 1 RepliesI'm adding a method to find and select text in my text editor. Everything worked fine, including the ability to find all instances of the text. My problem came when I tried to make it more user-friendly (doesn't it always?). Originally I had only a menu item with a shortcut( Ctrl + F) which invoked an input box.
Then I added a textbox and a button (similar to that seen in a web browser's Find() method) that calls the method in the same manner as the Find/Replace menu option and displays the desired text in the textbox. Everything works fine except that the text is not selected. I have MessageBoxes displaying the values of required variables in 3 places (marked ***FOR DEBUG ONLY***) to make sure that no values are being changed, but all variables are the same. The method still locates the text, but it is not highlighted.
I think it could have something to do with which object has focus. (When I click the button, the selected text loses focus?). But if I click everything with the menu items, it still works...

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 have 2 textboxes, in the 1th the user fills in is classname. Then with a hit on the button it searches it in the 2nd textbox. That works so far but, If it exist in the 2nd textbox I want it to select the current line it is on. how can I select a specified line in a textbox?
View 2 RepliesI have tab control on one of my windows form. The tab control has three tabs. On each tab there are textboxes with data from a sql database.

Example: I want to get the company name from the textbox and put it in string "b", my code would then look like this
View 16 RepliesThe textbox that I create in vb.net does not let me select all the text using the common keystroke control + a at runtime. The textbox is able to detect all other keystroke combinations at runtime, such as control + c, control + v for cut and paste, but it does nothing for when the keystroke control + a is pressed. Is this something that vb.net textboxes do not detect and therefore I would have to program manually by having the program detect keystrokes and then have the program select the text using the code TextBox1.SelectAll() ?

View 8 RepliesI have a validation class that I use to validate data entered into textboxes on my form. If the data entered does not pass the validity test then the function does the following: [Code] All that works like a charm BUT What triggers the validation routine is when the user either presses the Enter Key OR the Tab Key. If the data is validated the next textbox, (textbox2) is populated with the same data as textbox1 and given the focus then waits for the user to enter new data or press enter which the goes through the validation routine for that textbox.
My problem is way back at the first textbox when the user enters invalid data. As I mentioned above the validation routine populates the textbox with valid default data BUT It also seems to somehow include the enter key because once the default data has been entered by the validation routine it then re-evaluates the data as though the user had pressed enter. Because the data is now valid it moves to the next textbox and never lets the user enter his/her own data.
I have a problem with the source code. I am trying to select at the end of the textbox after I have input the text in the textbox, but it have selected at the start of the textbox. Do you know which property of the textbox that i should use?

View 1 RepliesI don�t want to use built-in data binding through Visual Studio, I would like to learn and code directly. I have created a form with a listbox on the left side and several texbox on the right side. I have code working that populates a listbox from my data reader (MyReader). The listbox works fine. There are two (2) buttons over the listbox to select All Active records or All Inactive records that queries the field �Status� in the �tblAdvocates� table.So the listbox works fine. Problem is trying to setup the SelectedIndexChanged function. I can�t figure out how to take the selected record from the listbox and use that to fill the textboxes. Do I �re-query� the database using the ID field from the table? Do I use the MyReader from the form load code and pull the data from that?
