I currently have a form with about 20 textboxes on, labeled Textbox1, Textbox2 and so on...
I would like to know how to get the data from any one of these textboxes from an integer.
Dim text as String
text = "Textbox" & RandomInteger & ".Text"
msgbox(text)
Anytime I do this, I just get the textbox name eg, "Textbox10.Text" I am using Visual Studio 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.

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. What I am trying to do is get data that is from the textbox in the 3rd tab. I have no problem getting the data from the first tab. 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?

TextBox1.Text += ":)"

I have a form where a number of textboxes are programmatically created within a flowLayoutPanel and named by adding together 2 strings.
With the click of another button i hope to have all the values entered into these text boxes stored in a text file. However, i cant seem to find a way to add strings together to allow me to retrieve the values entered within the text boxes created.
Below is the code i have so far: BTW FLP is my flow layout panel and c is my calculated nmber of textboxes that are created.
Private Sub createTB(ByVal c As Integer)
Dim x1 As Integer = 1
Dim y As Integer = 2

View 5 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?
Here is my code:
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
Imports System.Data

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.
The problem is when I search through a textbox and nothing matches the search query, I accidentally click the column header which is the lastname then the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." pops up.

btnEdit.Enabled = False
btnDelete.Enabled = False
Exit Sub
Else
btnEdit.Enabled = True
btnDelete.Enabled = True

How could I link a Listbox to a Textbox? So each Listbox item holds string data, and when I click that Listbox item, it shows it's string data into the multiline Textbox. For example
I have a listbox item names "Numbers". It holds this data:
1

45
84
So I want it to when I select this item in the listbox, it display the number data into the multi line textbox.
I'm relatively new to VB. I want to perform a SELECT statement that uses a variable to return a value, example;
mysql> SELECT room_description FROM room_descriptions WHERE current_room = 'someVariable';
And display the result in a TextBox i.e. TextBox.text = someVariable.
So how do I perform a query from VB that passes a variable? How do I assign the result to a variable?
Here is what I am trying to do: I've added a .SelectAll() method in the MouseDown event of a textbox and it works well.
Now when the user double clicks, I'd like to unselect the text and set the position where the cursor is.
I don't know if I'am making myself clear here so here is an example:
Let's say this is the following text in the textbox: "this is just a test, please do not panic."
User clicks in the textbox, all the text becomes selected.
Let's assume the position of the curosr is just before the "j"
The user double click so the text becomes unselected and the cursor position automatically changes to the j.
I know I have to use the .Select(start, length) method with 0 as length value, but how do I find the start value depending of the mouse position ?
