Unwanted Selection Of All Contents In Textbox
Feb 10, 2011
I'm using VB 2005 and MS Access 2000. I have a process that does some "stuff" with the data, re-queries the database, re-populates the form then displays a messagebox indicating that the process has completed. My issue is that after clicking OK in the messagebox, that whatever textbox the cursor was in prior to starting the process, now has all the text in it highlighted. If I don't show the messagebox then this doesn't happen. And if I don't call the process that repopulates the form controls, this doesn't happen. There's no code in the app that selects the contents of the textbox so is there a property somewhere that controls this?

I am trying to show the square root of the number entered in the textbox. when the user presses Q (Uppercase), the square Root should be shown (in the textbox). I did manage to get the sqaure root, but the problem is that when I press Q the Letter Q is also typed in. For example, if I enter 25 in the textbox and press Q then I get Q5 as the result. Is there any work around to this problem ? Below is the code that I have used.
Private Sub Textbox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = Chr(81) Then '81 for Letter Q
Dim root As Double = Math.Sqrt(Val(TextBox1.Text))

This is one of those "seems obvious" as how to do, but came across interesting side effect in implementing. I'm trying to keep two text boxes syncronized when information is updated. In this example, I will be using txtStartDate and txtEndDate. If the txtStartDate is changed, then the txtEndDate should should be updated. Likewise, if the txtEndDate changes, I want the txtSartDate to be updated. The side effect I'm comming across is that when I set them up under the TextChanged event for both, the events seem to retrigger against each other indefinately (endless loop?). Am I using the wrong event? Is this a task for a delegate?

My program paste lots of stuff to a text box. Is it possible to replace every character that is not a number or a point to nothing? It may get lots of weird character there so is here way to replace them to �� and keeping numbers?
I know how to TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Replace("%", "") But its too many simbols to list, Can it be done easier?

I am new to the forum and to VB, and not great at coding in general.I am learning, and this site as well as others have helped me get farther than I ever imagined. Second, my project is purely for my benefit, so I can learn.There is no corporate or school related goal here, just trying to learn.So the title is a summary of what I want to do. I have a form with a combo box that has five different choices, and below it, a checked list box. What I want is the collection inside the checked list box to change depending on what I select in the combo box above it.For instance, I have room 1 - 5 in the combo box, and the the checked list box below it, I have the furniture associated with that room.The eventual goal is to have this form populate a database, that allows the checked furniture to be recorded in a record.
I assume I need to use a db, such as access, to list the "furniture" in each room, and have a different table for each room, where the combo box selection will populate the checkedlistbox from the appropriate tables contents.I need a step by step on this, because I am a bit of a brick. Most tutorials are also done in VB 6 or VB 2008, and there have been steps missing in association to VB 2010.

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

I recently learned how to send the contents of a vb textbox to a flash textbox which is in an swf embedded on my vb form using a vb button to trigger...
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
AxShockwaveFlash1.LoadMovie(0, "C:sample.swf")
End Sub
[code]....
This workds great, however what i REALLY want to do is the other way around.... I want to click a flash button thats in the embedded swf and have it put text into my VB textbox... The text I want to dislay is:"well done!" SO Far:I have built a simple swf with a dynamic textbox and a button. textbox is named "sampleField" and its var is: "sampleFieldVar"...button instance named "Button1" is an instance of "button".
using as2 I have put the following code onto the button:

Im working on a project that has an explorer like treeview control. The control works great. What I need it to do though is once it gets to the end of the folders and sees a valid text file i want the text file to open into the textbox I have placed next to it while still opening anything that is not a plain text file the way it normally would. The code I have now is below and works to open the application or file with its corresponding program but I cant get the text file to populate the textbox.
[Code]...
A second issue im having trouble with is after the file has been opened in the textbox i want a button to send the text to a webpage form that is in the app. Its an actual webpage that I have embedded into the app. with the webrowser control. Its a simple textbox on the webpage. So basically I need to double click the file on the treeview that opens the file into the textbox(editor) I have made then with a single click of the button select all/copy then paste it into the box on the webpage all within the same application.
I have a file open that I can use to manually open a text file in the textbox that works great. I have tried to manipulate that to the treeview with no success. I have the button to select all and copy. Now if I can just get the text file to open on double click from the treeview and the send to the webpage control and my app is complete. Well almost Im working on a spellcheck feature for it but that's just extra functionality id like to add.

When you use a tab key to select a textbox, all text in it is automatically selected. What's the easiest way to prevent this from happening? (Setting the selection to none in Enter or GotFocus events doesn't work)

I am writing an add-in for VB.NET 2008. I am getting some strange behavior when I run the generated form and was wondering if anyone has any clue as to why this happens. I re-booted and started fresh and get the same results.
I am trying to select the contents of the textbox when the user clicks on it using the Enter event. I tried the following
private sub txtPMAItemPMAStatus_Enter(sender as system.object, byval e as system.eventargs) handles txtPMAItemPMAStatus.enter

After I click OK on the MessageBox the text is selected. Could it be because it is a spawned instance of the IDE?
