Set Focus When Form EnabledChanged?
Jan 18, 2012
The form is the main form, this form is Disabled while the user goes to a different form and then Enabled once returned (this is so some functions are automatically processed when this happens using Handles EnabledChanged) within this I want to set the focus to a certain text box i have tried setting the textbox to the lowest TabIndex but i don't think this will make a difference as this isn't the first time the form is opened and I have also tried textbox.focus() but neither of these have worked.

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 have a form where in it there's a webbrowser control doing some autonomous tasks. I leave it running in the background but, due to the navigation in the webbrower control, the window pops-up in front of all others and this is really annoying when Im doing something else.
Is there a way to disable the form from auto-focus or whats doing? Even if I hide the form using Hide() it still is able to remove the focus from whatever window has it.

i have this form, lets call it form1, i dont want the user to be able to click outside the form or let the form lose focus, kind of like when you are setting an options for a program and you click outside of the options settings and the options dialogue box flashes and refocuses your mouse on it and wont let you click anywhere until after you hit ok. i also dont want the user to do a cntrl + alt+ delete and open that options box thing that takes over your screen

I'm working on a program to wish my girlfriend a happy birthday, my idea is to show a label like a notification, similar to the one used in messenger, but I want it to be on top of whatever she is working on the computer at the time, even games (she's a hardcore gamer). Is this possible??what I'm asking for is a form on top of everything, not stealing focus, and if she presses a key, for example "q", the message activates no matter what she is doing. I'm a beginner, and I know how to do the label, the key press, but I don't know how to do the above mentioned

I want to create a program that gets if the user has pressed a code, for example F8, but without the user having to have focus on the form. I want the program to start hidden, and while the user works normally (say browses the internet (Go Google Chrome)), he just presses F8 and the form shows up. So I ask, is there any way to get key presses outside the form? [code]

I am just getting into the learning curve of .net. I have thus many tinyl hitches to get some quick fix. Thus if my questions are dumb or too down right primitive, please pardon the novice.I have a few text boxes in a form1st QI want to get to a particular 1st_txtbox when the form opens. Hence in the load event i place a line: 1st_txtbox.focus()But on reopening the form the 2nd time, if user has already moved to 2nd_txtbox, the cursor gets to 2nd_txtbox. Where did i go wrong?

Most of my experience in Visual Basic programming is in VBA. I'm currently trying to build a VB.NET Windows application that basically consists of a form that has one button and one label. When the button is clicked, the label should serve as a "counter" that counts from 0 to infinity until the user closes the window with the "x" button. I do this by putting a loop with a sleep statement in the onclick sub. The loop iterates the integer that is displayed in the label and does a "Me.Refresh".The problem is when the window loses focus. When it loses focus (when I click off of it), the counter stops. Even when I click back on it, the counter doesn't resume.

When I run my VB.NET Winforms app I do not want it to steal the focus from the other open apps. FYI, my app is started from the command line but that shouldn't make a difference. I've seen question 577076 but that doesn't seem to work.

I have made a program with a main Form and several auxilary forms. Is it possible to modify the auxilary form in a way like a msgbox. It stays always in focus, and you cannot interact with the main form. What I did find was the Form.enabled (True or False) method, but then the main form completely greys out, but I don't like the way it looks.

I have two mdi children forms open. I would think that clicking on the non active form would change the focus from the active form to the form I just clicked on. It only does this if I click on the title bar. Then the focus changes. But if I click on a control on the non-active form, focus does not transfer.

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 have a form which contains a progressbar and a Listbox which update as the code runs through and performs some sometimes time-consuming calculations.
At one point in the code, it breaks to ask the user to enter a number using :
Usedefault = MsgBox("Do you want to use the default value of " & Default_No & "?", vbYesNo)
If Usedefault = vbNo Then
[Code].....
this works fine but I find that once the data entry is complete, and the code continues to run, the form loses focus and the progressbar and the Listbox updates cannot be seen until the code finished its calculations.

is it possible to have the same effect as a dialogue box, with form focus? eg, when using the open dialogue box, if you try to focus on another form within the app, it doesn't' let you and starts flashing. But when you switch to another app, it doesn't interfere.

I have a borderless form displayed as a progress object. This is displayed via childform.show().
I'm overriding CS_DROPSHADOW to give it the shadow (pictured), when the form loses focus (parent clicked or another formapplication) the shadow is lost.
How can I keep the form focusedselected similar to a modal form? (I cannot use showdialog due this being called from various threads other than UI) Using Me.TopMost = True works, but obviously puts the form above all others rather than just the parent.

I have three forms frmStudent, frmClass and frmMain. I want to add code so that if the user focuses on another form without saving a message box will appear to prompt the user to save. This is necessary because If the user starts entering data on another, related formand assumes that the changes from the first form were saved, then there could be integrity issues.
I have tried formating the deactivate event, but when I hit yes it just deletes the record entered.
Private Sub frmStudent_Deactivate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Deactivate
If GradebookDataSet.HasChanges Then
