I have setup a page in Excel with several textboxes for data entry. I would like to be able to tab from textbox to textbox so I can enter this data as quickly as possible.
View 3 RepliesBack on my form with a ton of financial data entry textboxes but I want to have the data formatted at runtime, as I enter the data.I have a format declared as Public Const cFmtCurrency = "##,###,###" ' don't need decimal for the local China currency What would be the least compicated way to have these textboxes (19 of them) format the Long Integer values as I enter the data. I think a Lost Focus event would be silly; there must be a better, more efficient way.Also want to use this format when I retreive records from the db (don't see a reason to mask data in db)
View 7 RepliesI want to retrieve a data from my mysql database into my textbox, my problem is how can i show the previous and next data in a column? because it only shows the last data entry.
this what i have done so far
Sub filltextbox()
strsql = "select * from tbl_studinfo"
mysqlcmd.CommandText = strsql
[Code].....
CODE:
That code works to read the entry data and to recognise the correct data, and the incorrect. However, even if entry is correct, the error msgbox will appear (x times of how many records there are in file), despite being navigated to the menu. Anyway that the Else isn't triggered when data is correct. Also for it to appear just one instead of (x times of how many records there are in file.)
Is it possible to have a Textbox on a form that when the user inputs data, ( during Runtime )that data remains in the Textbox for good and the Textbox then becomes read only ? Is it also possible to make it so that the CD with the programme on, is in the PC when the programme is being used. Perhaps writing the Textbox data back onto the CD ?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a application where the user can add a treenode to a treeview, and then after that they can add items to a listbox, making those items bound to that treenode?

I've got a program and what I need is for a Timer (running in a different thread) to constantly be checking a TextBox for an entry that is similar to:Quote"(PlayerName)" has joined the server.Where (PlayerName) would be replaced with the players name in the TextBox. What I would need the TextBox to do after it has found this entry is to add (PlayerName) to a listbox. If someone can help me out this far then I can use the same code to get it to remove the player when they leave.Below is a picture of what it should look like inside the program.
View 3 RepliesOkay, that snippet made the file I was trying to open in the %USERNAME%AppDataLocal folder worked perfectly, again, many thanks - But now I'm 3/4 of the way through my program, and I've hit a wall - I have the exact same program I made in VB6, and it works to perfection, but I am TRYING to switch over to .NET, and am finding a lot of difficulties in getting certain things to work - My biggest headache right now [ Which is basically the finishing of my program ] is a bit hard to explain, so this may be a rather long post: One of my programs that I use to keep track of my Music hard drive outputs to an XML file, in which there is one line I would like to be able to 'Replace' through the program I am making now to a different user-defined string, and close [ Applying string change/save ] the XML file. I have my Main Form, a TextBox1 [ I can't get the XML to open in a ListBox like I wanted ], TextBox2, a 'Locate String' Button, a 'Modify' Button, and an Exit Button. I open the XML file with this in my Form1_Load event into my TextBox1:[code]
The <DateValue> is the line I want to be able to modify [ Which the entire string looks like this: <DateValue>2010-04-10T10:00:03.5009756-04:00 </DateValue>, and I want to be able to change the date and time to whatever the user specifies ], which once the XML is loaded into TextBox1, when the 'Modify' Button is clicked, that string is then loaded into TextBox2... This is where I am lost - How can I apply the modified string to the TextBox1.Text [ Entire XML file ], and save it upon program end, without the rest of the XML lines being disturbed? I realized I needed another Button - The 'Modify' Button now loads the selected string into TextBox2, and I have a 3rd Button to 'Apply Modification', which I want to update the <DateValue> string in the TextBox1 [ Full XML file ] from the modified string in TextBox2, then save on exit - Hope this helped clarify things.So here's the routine:
1. Form loads, opening the XML file, and loading it into TextBox1.
2. User clicks 'Modify' Button to load searched string into TextBox2.
3. User modifies TextBox2 entry.
4. User clicks 'Apply Modification' Button, which changes the searched string in TextBox1 to the modified user-defined string.
5. User clicks 'Exit', which saves the XML changes from TextBox1 [ Without messing up the XML file format ], and the program ends.

I have a single form in Visual Studio 2010...in that form...
TextBox = txtSearch
Button = cmdSearch
DataGridView = GridView1
GridView1 is bound to a View, tblAccounts.
tblAccounts includes multiple columns, including a text field for 'AccountName'...this name can be in one of two columns.I'm trying have a user enter any part of an AccountName in txtSearch, click cmdSearch, and return all matches in tblAccounts to GridView1.
I have a form with a Tab Control that has 18 pages. When I click on a tab it opens the page and select a textbox on that page (txtTextbox1. Select() ). This works for the first 8 pages but not for the remaining 10 pages. Although on these pages I can mouse click on the textbox, enter info, save then click my Add button that clears the textboxes and has the code (txtTextbox1. Select() ). The textbox is selected just fine. The code for all my pages is the same except for the tab name and the control names. The tab key will move the selection to the next textbox in order on all pages and the Enter key is coded to do the same. The first 8 pages have a total of 256 labels, buttons, list boxes, textboxes and checkboxes on them.

View 1 RepliesHow do you get a textbox being using for password entry to display the black circle that you often see in web forms, on the iphone etc etc?
I can change the PasswordChar property to an asterisk no problem and even copying and pasting symbols inserted into Word seemed to work - just couldn't find a symbol that looked like a bullet point!
Can this actually be achieved for a standalone exe, or is it something unique to web forms? Surely copying and pasting symbols from Word isn't actually the answer?
I have a listview and on save or update of the database it saves the TicketID to the listview. It also shows all the prior tickets created in the listview as well. I would like to pass the very last entry ie in this case TicketID to a textbox so that it prints out a ticket with the ticketID for the user.
Don't really want to loop through all the other tickets in the listview since it could end up running into the tens of thousands of numbers.
