View 1 RepliesI used textbox.leave so that when user leave the textbox, it will fire a function.
Under some cases, I would like to disable this textbox.leave event.
I have a Visual Basic Program that, when I enter data into a textbox, uses LEAVE events to update it. However, it will not update until I go to another textbox or press a button or other similar control.This also happens when using the LOST FOCUS event.How can I make the textbox update (be it doing a financial recalculation or some other custom function) happen when the user clicks/tabs out of the textbox and NOT having to click on a button or into another textbox?Do you recommend having a separate button for performing the custom functions?
View 6 RepliesCan i Know how to catch between these 2 event, Leave and Click?
I have one checking in a textbox Leave event. I will go check whether this ID is already exist in DB or not. If exist, I will prompt MSG box to user.
When I click on Close button while focus is on textbox, this textbox Leave Event will trigger first before Button Click event.
So, the form remains open without trigger Button Click event.
how to prevent this textbox leave event or how can i catch/control this situation?
I have a TextBox in a Windows Forms application in VB 2008 (.NET 3.5) where a user can key an estimate amount. I am allowing them to key dollars and cents, and I want to round to the nearest dollar. The original code had the rounding down when the data was written back to a table, and that worked fine - I have this code in a "Save" routine that fires when the user moves to a different screen or record:
Dim est As Decimal : Decimal.TryParse(txtEstimateAmount.Text.Trim, est)
Dim estimatedAmount As Integer = Math.Round(est)
I decided that it might be nice to actually do the rounding as soon as they leave the field instead, so they're not surprised when they reload the screen and find that 1822.60 is now 1823. So I took the exact same code and added it to the TextBox.Leave event handler. And the weirdest thing happened: instead of the variable est being populated with 1822.60 after the parse, it gets set to -1! What the...?
Debugging the handler shows that the value goes into the parser correctly, and if I do the parsing manually via the Immediate window, it parses correctly, but when I let the code do it, it invariably gets set to -1. What's even weirder is that any number gets parsed as -1, not just decimals, and any non-number gets parsed as 0 (which is correct).
Has anybody else ever run into this before? I tried moving the code to the TextBox.LostFocus event instead, but with the same results. I have no idea what in the heck is going on, and obviously there are workarounds galore for this, but it just makes no sense whatsoever.
EDIT: Here's the full event handler (current behavior for which is to put -1 in the TextBox):
Private Sub txtEstimateAmount_Leave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtEstimateAmount.Leave
' Take any dollars-and-cents amount and round to the nearest dollar
Dim est As Decimal

I'm programming something and I have it set to where if you leave the text box blank then a message box comes up and tells you to enter a value to move on to the next text box [code]Now whats currently happening is if I click the exit button and leave the name text box blank the error i programmed will come up and tell me to enter a name. I want to be able to click the exit button while no text is entered in the name text box bypassing the error message.
View 5 RepliesI am working on a new assignment. Our instructor wants us to code a shared leave event for three textboxes (txtBox1, txtBox2, txtBox3).I understand how to code the shared event and how to make a generic tbox for it:
Private Sub txtDescription_Leave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtBox1.Leave, txtBox2.Leave, txtBox3.Leave
'generic textbox
Dim txtText As TextBox
txtText = CType(sender, TextBox)
We are told that if the generic textbox contains data and the data has been modified (against the database record), we need to : Determine the name (name property) of the textbox that casued the evend and Determine the value (text property) of that textbox.I know to check to see if anything is in the generic box by the length property, and if it is modified by the modified method, but how do you determine the name and value? Is it a case statement?
I have some validation set on my combobox and it works as it should, but the problem I have is that the user is unable to click on the exit button, or click on the X to close the form until they have entered a valid field - would it be possible to exclude these controls from the validation? So the user can click on exit, or click on the X?

i have a datagridview with records, when i select a row in datagrid i need to display the values in a textbox. please help me with sample code
View 3 RepliesMSDN brings nothing up, so here was my attempt at a work around.
[code]...
Because event leave calls another sub i need the last active control. I have the textbox name txtTime{0} but obviously string is not a control.
So Two questions:
1) can a string value be attached to an existing control if i know it's name? Dim attControl as Control = newTime
2) All this could be avoided in event leave if i could get the left controls name. I have tried sender. tostring etc but nothing returns the textboxs name
There are 2 non-modal windows displayed- 1]Form1 contains a Listbox with a list of forms 2]Form2 is the form which is selected in that list Form2 consists of a Maskedtextbox T1. In the Leave event of T1, the validation of text is done. If the data is invalid, a suitable Messagebox is displayed and Focus is set back to that Maskedtextbox (T1.Focus()).Now, if I enter any invalid data and click on the Listbox in Form1, the following things happen:
1]T1 Leave event is entered, focus being on the Listbox
2]Invalid data message box is displayed
3]Focus is set to T1(T1.Focus()) of Form2
4]After End of event, T1 Leave event is again entered. And now, Focus has changed back again to the Listbox.
5]Again Messagebox is displayed and T1.Focus() is done
The issue is, after step 3(focus set to T1), the focus is reset to the Listbox in Form1. Hence Leave event is entered twice and messagebox is displayed twice.
I have a TextBox control being used to capture an IPAddress from the user.I want to be able to allow them to change that IPAddres at which point the new value will be utilized by the appropriate .NET socket class to ping that new address.What other event is used with TextChanged to indicate that the user is done making changes to the TextBox. The Leave Event?
View 3 RepliesThe leave event fires twice in this example. Tab order for the form controls is set to combobox1, button1, button3 Private Sub ComboBox1_Leave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.Leave
[Code]...
if I enter 'A' in the combobox1 then combobox1 leave event will fire twice any other entry is Ok since the next control to get focus is button2 (in the normal tab order).It seems that if I try to skip the next control (based on the tab order set for the form), the leave event fires twice.
Is there another way to handle the leave event of multiple textboxes other then coding in each event handler? I may not be using correct terms instead of doing this: (Existing)
Private Sub leveladjstvaltxt_Leave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles leveladjstvaltxt.Leave
If Me.leveladjstvaltxt.Text <> "" Then
Dim levels As Integer = CInt(Me.leveladjstvaltxt.Text)
Me.leveladjstvaltxt.Text = Format(levels, "#,###")
I have 30 TextBoxes all need same formatting , so I was trying to come up with something like this: (trying)
For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls
If TypeOf ctrl Is TextBox And ctrl.Text <> "" Then
Dim val As Double = CDbl(ctrl.Text)
CType(ctrl, TextBox).Text = Format(val, "#,###")
End If
I am stuck though and don't know where I would place that code if this is something that is even possible. Only thing I can currently think of is in the leave event which defeats the purpose, I wanted to avoid having to place the code in 30 different textoxes leave event.
Is it possible to detect a mouse leave to the left. For example: I have a label and when I hover over it the text changes to "Hovering", and when I leave the label from the left I want the text to change to "Exit left" or if I leave the label from the right that text changes to "Exit right".
View 1 RepliesAnyone know why the Mouse_Leave event fires when you don't leave the control with the mouse pointer?Put a large button on a Form so your mouse pointer does not leave it easily.Then try this codeWhen you do, leave the mouse pointer in the middle of the button and then click the button.By the way, if you uncomment the 1st line of code in the Button Click event and comment out the MessageBox, this does not happen.Can someone please explain this behaviour?

I've got a (hopefully) quick question. I've got textboxes attached to a binding source on one of my forms, and when I add, then clear, the data for the next entry to be added a small problem arises. If the user has previously entered something into, for example, Textbox3 and the user does not have the data for Textbox3 the user cannot move to the next field unless something is entered into the box.

In VB6 we had a code inside textBox_MouseUp to call textBox_KeyUp(-1, 0) and the signature of KeyUp was
Private Sub textBox_KeyUp(ByRef KeyCode As Short, ByRef Shift As Short) Handles textBox.KeyUp
Now when I migrate to .NET I changed the KeyUp event to Private Sub textBox_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles textBox.KeyUp
How can I do this call textBox_KeyUp(-1,0) now from textBox_MouseUp event?
how can I detect if press Enter in the Textbox Change event and not in Textbox Keypress?
