How To De-select The Textbox Focus

Jun 22, 2010

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.

Forms :: Difference Between .Focus And .Select?

Jul 3, 2009

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).

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.

I'm trying to set the focus to a ComboBox on program startup.[code]...

The DropDownStyle is set to DropDown so the user can type text in the text field. At program start I want the this control to have focus with the cursor in it & ready to accept text. As it is now the user has to first click on the ComboBox to type in it. Setting its focus doesn't seem to do what I want.

Combobox - When Select A Value From The Combobox The Selection Won't Validate?

Feb 22, 2012

I'm having a problem with combo boxes. I usually use Java and it's been awhile since I used VB but I never remember having this much difficulty.My application is using an SDF file. From Data Sources, I drag the details on one of my Tables to my Form to get all of the fields. Three of them are comboboxes. Each of the three is an INT64 and each corresponds to a primary key in a different table. I click the tasks button on a combobox and for data source I select the appropriate table that has the data to go with the combobox, for display member I select the field that I want users to see, and for value member I select the primary key. Then I run a quick test and start the app, open the form, and add a new record. When I select a value from the combobox the selection won't validate because it doesn't think it's an INT64 like it should be. It seems to be using the display member as the actual value instead because if I change display member to the primary everything works great.

Select A Particular Value On A Combobox By Looping Through Combobox Items?

Jan 5, 2012

I have a form in my vb.net application used to take the data about the returned stock. The form contains two comboboxes. One, named combobox5, contains invoice numbers and the other, named combobox3, contains party codes. Both the comboboxes are pre_loaded using sqldataadapter.

Now what i want is to change the party code in combobox3 when the invoice number is changed in combobox5. Elaborating it further, When Stock is issued the party code is stored along with the invoice number to keep track of to which party was the stock issued. Now when stock is returned i want to keep track that which party has returned the stock and i want that the party code should be automatically selected when the invoice number is changed and it should be what is stored in the database against that particular invoice number....

I'm using the following code for doing so:

Private Sub ComboBox5_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox5.SelectedIndexChanged
' defines a new connection to the database
Dim con As New SqlConnection("Data Source=TAHA;Initial Catalog=ADT;Integrated Security=True")

[Code].....

Forms :: Use The Focus Events Of The Combobox's To Determine?

Jan 7, 2010

I have two questions for anyone who can throw some idea's my way question 1:I am currently working on a control with three combo box's. This control will be nested on a form, and I want the on-board timer to track how long each control is active. I am trying to use the focus events of the combobox's to determine if the control is active so the program will know when the timer should be started and stopped. My problem is, for example, when the user causes the text property of the combo boxes to change, the folowing code runs:

[Code]...

As you can see, there are points in this sub-routine that can cause the focus to shift, as well as fire the text changed event. While this all happens faster than is really noticable, I would like to eliminate the extra cycles if at all possible. As I mentioned in question one, I am adding this control to a form, to be more clear I am adding multiple instances of this control to a single form, and I am trying to use the focus events to determine which of the controls within the form are active; however, when the form itself is no longer the active application, whether it is minimized, behind another application or otherwise, all of the timers stop. I want whichever control was active at the time that the form was deactivated, to continue as if nothing changed.

Make Tab Key Or Enter To Move Focus From A Combobox Control?

Jan 26, 2011

I have a combobox on an Excel worksheet that I can tab into, then pick my data (located on another worksheet) after activating the "arrow". But the tab or enter key does not allow me to navigate away from the cell after it is populated. The only action that allows the user to move to another cell is by mouse/click to another cell. I am trying to make navigation through though worksheet as user friendly as possible.I can't seem to find any sample code that will take the focus away from that cell using Tab or Enter.

I have no problem with ListBoxes created using the Data Validation method but I have to create a ComboBox control on the active worksheet in order to return the data chosen (in this case a code that corresponds to a description). If this was a Form I wouldn't have any problem as the properties would allow me to set that up, but this is essentially a spreadsheet I've inherited and the current users do not want to go to a Data Entry Form.

Visual Studio 2005 - ComboBox's Selected Value Changed On Lost Focus In .NET?

Oct 12, 2009

colLocation.AutoComplete = False
colLocation.HeaderText = "Stored to"
colLocation.DataSource = DB.getLocation()

[code]....

I added the colLocation to dgv."descirption" contains Unicode characters. I can see the comboBox correctly and choose the item.The problem is when the comboBox lost the focus, the value is changed to first item of the comboBox.

Updated:I found out that the ComboBox doesn't change the data when the DisplayMember is in English characters. It changes only when the DisplayMember is in Unicode chracter.

How To Use Combobox To Select Records

Apr 20, 2010

I have a form with controls on it which are binded to a table, I have records selecters and so on... Just a simple display and edit form(yes I also want to be able to edit them so...) I created this form just by dragging items from the Data sources window.

Now I want to add a combobox which has a list of titles. And here comes the difficult part: When I select a title in the combobox, all the other controls show the matching info(matching to the title), in other words the datatable which is attached/binded to the controls must move to the right record. I have added a query to the combobox , which has two columns: ID and Title. the displaymember is Title and the Valuemember is ID. So I must look in the datatable for the right ID.

Select An Item In Combobox?

Oct 9, 2009

I have a combo box with a list of book conditions. When a book is loaded into the form, the condition the book has needs to be selected. How can I do this? Here's what i have: Excellent Very Good Good Fair Poor just for example, how would i select "Good" WITHOUT USING THE INDEX? The database knows the condition text, and condition id. I need to select the condition in the combo box with either. However, I don't know how to add the condition id to the items in the combo box. How would I do this in Visual Basic 2008? **EDIT** I forgot to mention, although i am using a database, i am NOT using SQL Server. I just need a way to select it with a variable containing either the id or condition.
