So i have a Panel which on Mouse Enter and Mouse Leave i change the visibility of some controls which are docked inside it. Problem is whenever I hover over a control within the panel the Mouse Enter then moves to that indivual control and thus they are made invisible. Is there any way i can make this work without having to code these two events for each control within the panel?

to be so simple turns out to have me scratching my head.I have a program that monitors input inside of Quickbooks. When a customer is entered into a sales order my program checks my database for any special information and if it exists, opens a TopMost window to the lower third of the screen with the information showing that is special to that customer. The problem I have is that when the customer is found and the window opens, focus is taken away from Quickbooks and given to my newly opened form. Is there a way to prevent this so that the users input isn't interrupted?
With frmMessage
.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width
.TopMost = True

I have wrote a program that uses sendmessage to automate clicks. I have also made it where it can minimize to tray, hides form & shows an icon in tray. The problem is that when it's minimized it takes focus from whatever else I'm doing, like if I'm typing in Notepad when the program sends the message it takes the focus from notepad.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a data entry type form and I want the enter key to move focus to the next text box. I've got that working great except that the focus is moving to the label that is, in sequence, between the text boxes.
View 14 RepliesI have a list of textboxs that are binded to a database.
When a user starts to type in one of these textboxs I draw a listbox right under that textbox that shows a list of other items in the field that start with the same keys.
IE, the user types in "Ni" and the list box will have "Nick" and "Nicholas" and so on...
That all works great but when I hit tab I want the next textbox to get focus and the listbox to hide.
If I just wait for the textbox to lose focus you can't do anything with the listbox because DOH the textbox just lost focus and the lsitbox hides.
This has led me in a circle of I'll try this and I'll try that for a while now.
I have listbox.tabstop set to false.
I've tried to manually set focus to the next textbox but the problem is that the listbox gets the focus that instant and all the gotfocus lostfocus code for the textbox is ignored.
I can't out right ignore the listbox getting focus.

This is the code so far I have been testing for my MDI Parent/Child forms, and when I create for example 2 child forms with the File - > New menu option, the Windows menu lists all the forms I have just created ammended to it. Now when I create the 2 forms and then immediately select Rename under the Windows menu option, it changes the text of the last child form ok, but then if I click on the first child form that was create and then hit Rename again it doesnt do anything. I tried different methods of strying to set which forms has focux but nothing works.
In my WPF application I have a notification window that appears at the top right for 3 seconds and closes. Just a normal notification window.But when it appears, it takes the focus away from any window that was active.For example, if I'm typing in Chrome and the window appears, chrome looses focus and my typing is halted.The notification window is set to top most so that it will appear on top of other windows, but how do I go about stopping it from stealing the focus of the user?
View 1 RepliesWe've migrated the application from VB 6.0 to VB.Net If more than one MDI child form is open, a mouse click to an inactive form will not bring it to front unless I click on the Tiltlebar.
View 4 RepliesI have a slight problem With an enumaration of child controls on a form. The following code will not get but about have the controls that are on the form. The controls show that the count is correct but when it goes through the loop it skips over some of the controls. If you run it through the enumeration two or three times it will get all the controls a few at a time. The solution uses two forms, one that has the controls and the other that labels are made and displayed on. The Tx is just a index to add a number to the label.name and rename the label. So each label is identified seperately. This works for all the the controls that are seen in the for each loop.

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 achieved for the most part what the users want, which is to be able to have multiple MDIChild forms open at once for example the Child form displaying the data and the Child form displaying the user's manual. The child forms can be resized to some extent and can be moved around within the Parent form. When the user clicks on the title bar of one of the Child forms or selects a menu item opening a new Child form the newly opened Child form or the Child form on which the user has clicked the title bar gets focus.
I also have one Child form which will not scroll with the mouse wheel even when it has focus. Actually there is very little of the form that is not ocvered with controls. It has about 8 group boxes with several otehr controls within the group boxes. When I click on a list box within one of the group boxes the list box will scroll through the values, but when some other control gets the focus or the forms itself has focus (via clicking on the form's title bar)the form will not scroll with the mouse wheel. The other Child forms do scroll with the mouse wheel.The AutoScroll and AutoSize properties of the Child form are both set to true. I also have VerticalScroll and HorizontalScroll visible and enabled properties sey to true

View 2 RepliesI have set a scrollable control's autoscroll to true. What do you do when you don't want a scroll to occur? For example, suppose you have a RichTextBox and a button side by side as below:
Notice that "button1" has the focus. If you click on the RichTextBox to give it focus, the scroll bars will scroll until the upper left corner of the RichTextBox is in view.
But what if, for whatever reason, you wanted to keep button1 in view? How would you do that?
How do I autoscroll my richtextbox?

How do I make it do this event occasionally? Like maybe every 5 launches, it does the event?
We have a main form which opens an MDI child form. What we want is to set the focus on a particular control in the child form, namely a telerik textbox. When the form is opened for the first time, the focus is set to the textbox control which has a tabIndex = 1 as expected. If the winodw is closed (and disposed) and then reopened via a button on the tool bar that calls the same code that opens the window when the application starts, no control has focus. We have added lines such as Me.rtxtPatientId.Focus() in the Paint event, load event, and activated event handlers but still cannot get the focus to the control. The code is quite extensive so posting it is difficult. However, here is the section that opens the child window:
if PatientSearchForm Is Nothing Then
PatientSearchForm = New frmPatientLookup
End If
PatientSearchForm.MdiParent = Me
PatientSearchForm.Show()
If PatientSearchForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then
PatientSearchForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
End If
PatientSearchForm.Activate()
PatientSearchForm.rtxtPatientID.Focus()

I have a VB.net form which has two webpages embedded. The webpages have a 5 second auto refresh built into the HTML header as the information is constantly changing.
The problem I have is when I pull up a secondary form, I lose focus to the 'Main' form everytime the webpage refreshes.
Is there any way to stop the webpages autorefreshing in the form and I will build in a refresh command into a timer I already have in place and then I can start and stop the refresh at will.
Unfortunatly I cannot amend the source code of the HTML as this is required for a different process elsewhere.
A panel with enabled scrollbars has many buttons. If I push the tabulation key, focus navigates between buttons.When a partially visible button has focus, the panel scrolls itself in order to completely show the button.

View 1 RepliesI am just getting into the learning curve of .net. I have thus many tinyl hitches to get some quick fix.

View 3 RepliesI have a custom control I'm creating. When I click on it, it draws a dotted border and puts some nubs on it for resizing. This all works perfectly. Now I want it so when I click off of it, it deselects. I already have a variable to set up if it's selected or not and subs to draw/clear it. I just have to be able to detect when something else is selected or it gets clicked off of.
What I've Tried
My first and best solution to this was to use the LostFocus event, but, by custom control apparently won't let it fire. After some research, as far as I know, custom controls don't have Focus events because they are custom and could be changed (basically, you have to implement the focus events yourself).
My Question
Does anybody have a solution to either implement the focus events or a way to handle off clicking for custom controls?

Does anyone know if you can remove focus from all controls on a form so a user doesn't inadvertently cause action on a control when it's unintended such as hitting Enter at the same time your app appears causing some action to occur? Do you have to leave focus on at least one control?
View 12 RepliesI have a form with many controls that are binded to a datasource. when some of these values change, they impact aspects of the form itself like the backgroud color or the title. There is a filter applied to it so it only displays certain records (this is important).when I change something and save the data I need to update the filter to show all the previous records plus the current one.All that works great, but the problem is: saving the data or changing the filter makes the controls take a new value based on the new record and go through the subs that each one have to modify the aspect of the form. This happens because if I save the data first, then the current record does not conform to the filter and all the data in the form changes, or if I change the filter first, we go to the first record of the set.
After that I return to the correct record and everything looks fine, but going to all the changes makes the app halt for a moment.Is there a way that I can stop the controls in the form form updating to their binding data while saving or changing the filter in the bindingsource?
