ToolStrip - Set Focus On The Button When User Enters Data In Textbox
Apr 22, 2009
i have a textbox and a button on tool strip. i wan to set focus on the button when user enters data in textbox. after enter key is pressed it shoul focus on the button.
so my program takes what the user enters into a textbox and searches through the data i have stored and if it matchs one of the peices of data it displays the apropriate data to the user. This all worked fine till i changed the textboxes to be added dynamicly to the form when it is load and i put all textboxes in a collection. So now when the text is sent to the search sub it sends the data over but always returns that it didnt find a match. But if i go into the search sub and just tell it what to search for automaticly it finds it no problem.
I created a toolstrip with some buttons. I have a form with some objects (like textbox,checkbox,button etc.) and when i get the focus on last item,when i finish to compile i need with tab on keyboard to get focus on save button on the toolstrip.
UI is created in VS 2008. I'm using C# .... I need to let the user move/focus between text fields from top to bottom by clicking tab button. How can i do it?
I have two Toolstrips(tsp). Among the two the second one is hidden. There is a tsptextbox on the second tsp. When the user checks the button on the first tsp, i want the second tsp to be shown and the tsptextbox should be selected. I use the following code but the tsptextbox isnt getting the focus
I was developing my own project in the university so what i am stack is to have save button which firstly validates what the user enters the form. for instance if the user skips the text fields, i wanted to restrict the user to fill all the form and when he completes, the save must be accomplished.
Here's the code i was trying to put but i was having problem saying the windows.forms.etc is unable to convert the save as Boolean and something like that.
Dim success As Boolean Private Sub Save_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Save.Click
how to take the value that a user enters into a textbox and add it to values entered into other forms by the same user. I want the values to all add together onto a new form in a label. Code for textbox:
I really want to make use of the toolstrip and databinding but these two technologies keep conflicting with each other. I think the root cause is something to with the fact that the toolstrip buttons don't recieve focus in the normal way.
I invite you to try the following:-
1. Create a form and put some text boxes a tool strip with a save button on it.
2. Write a query or sproc to get a datatable back and bind your text boxes to the field in the datatable.
3. In the code behind your Save ToolStripButton put some code that makes an arbitrary change to a field on the dataset (it doesn't matter whther this field is bound to a text box or not). eg:- m_DataTable.Rows(0).Item("CommissionRatePerc") = "0.0000"
4. Put a breakpoint in the save and run the form.
5. Make some changes in the text boxes. Do not leave the last text box but rather click save while a text box whose contents you have edited still has focus.
6. When your code hits the breakpoint, query the value of the data table field that is bound to the text box you were editing when you clicked save - it will still contain the unedited value. Unless you do something about it that unedited value is going to get saved back to your DB.
We did get around this problem by explicetely setting the focus to another control on the form before saving. That worked most of the time because it prompts the text box to flush it's value back to the datatable (nb EndEdit does not work, although you'd have expected it to). However, and this is the reason I suggested you add a line of code that changed a value in the underlying datatable in step 3, if you change a value in code in this way before the value from the text box get's flushed back then it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the user's current edit is simply lost. They will still show in the text box, though, leading your user to believe that the change has been committed when it hasn't. Our final solution is that we never ever change a value in the adtaset in the code behind our toolstrip buttons. That's working but it's a pretty big restriction.
I have a login form that I made. The user enters a username in textbox1 and then enters a password in textbox2. The user then hits the submit button (button2) and from there it works beautifully. The problem is, I would also like the user to be able to hit the "enter" key after they fill out the password textbox (textbox2) and have it be like they pressed the submit button. When the user hits enter right now, the form hides.
I started learning visual basic a while back but stopped, now I am trying all over. I created this very basic windows form application. What I am trying to do is add a greeting based on the time of day. Example, the user will enter a name and click the button to get a greeting; example: Good morning Bob.This greeting is based on the time of day; example if time after 12:00pm, good afternoon, if greater then 5pm good evening and so on.Here is what I have written so far:

I'm using ASP.net 4.0 VB,I am using a session variable to add a user entered code into the url of each page. I can get the code to show up at the end of the page's URL that my textbox is on, but what do I add to every page to make sure that the session stays at the end of every URL that person visits during their session? This is the code from the page that the user enters their user code.
Protected Sub IBTextBoxButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles IBTextBoxButton.Click Session("IB") = IBTextBox.Text Dim IB As String = Session("IB") End Sub
[code]....
This is what I have in the page load of one of the other pages. What else do I add to make sure that variable is added to the URL of that page?
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Dim IB As String IB = Session("IB") End Sub

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 ?

I am building an app. that needs some input from the user, the user will have to move a (selected textbox) by clicking a button. The TextBox will have to move 20 points down or up from corent location by clicking a button.
I've been using KeyPress to help limit what the user enters into certain textboxes. e.g. here's my code for a Phone number. It only allows for numbers and dashes: [code]It's all working fine; however, the thing I hate about using it is that when ever have to do debugging of the screen, for each keypress into this textbox, it goes into debug.I'm wondering if it's possible to do something similar when the user clicks the save button. Has anyone done any type of validation like this?
Well, I have a form called customers. Login form and mainform.
So my clients want to have an option that explains this: If a user enters information in the customer form, then that information has to be confirmed by admins panel.
Get me well. When application program loads with a limited user, I set some buttons hidden so that only admin can see it when they log in. so in that case, users are not capable of inserting anything in the customer form.
But this time they want users to insert information then the information goes to administrators to confirm the information...if admins accepts the information, then information is then goes to customers table in database. If they don't confirm it, then that information will be ignored.
I've watch the videos on asp.net and I've looked online and have found nothing.
I have a search box on a site, that searches for recipes. Each recipe has a what you're making image, a title, and type(dessert, lunch, dinner).
All of these items are in a DataService, which I can query against and get a list of the items they are searching for.
Now I'm using VB's ASP.NET MVC3 w/ Razors for the site and I'm trying to get some auto completeness going on when the user enters text.
What should happen is when the user enter text, it will call an ActionResult in the Search Controller. Which queries the DataService and puts all the search results in a model. With that model I return a PartialView, results, with the Model included.[code]...
I have two textboxes on the screen. They are used for startdate and enddate. If the user does not enter anything in the textboxes I pass nothing (VB.NET) to the webservice. When the webservice receive it on the other end it shows the value "#12:00:00 AM" which I think is the default for the datetime field. Anyway, now I do not want to pass this value to Stored procedure since it will not work. How can I check before sending values to sproc that the value is not the default datetime.
codes one that validates that user will enter only uppercase letters in a textbox and no numbers and symbols. The second one should validate user only enters string no symbols and the third should only accept string and symbol
count the number of times when a user enters a character followed by , and I want to count , number of times. So far here is what I have if you also know a little about the split function can you check to see if what I have is right?

Im using Visual Basic 2005."Devise a program to create a multiplication square for any size the user enters, up to a maximum of 10x10. The program should output something like this for a 4x4 square.
1234 2468 36912 481216
You will need to make use of the RichTextBox, along with concatenation to make the output format correctly within the box.When you have created the working program, document it properly by printing out and annotating the code to explain how it works."
i was wondering how i can make a simple program that when for eg a user enters 4 it gives this figure **** and so i want that if the user enters 5 it gives ***** etc.
