I have to create a form that I enter the price of gas each month over a year. I enter the price in a text box and click the enter button to send the price to a list box immediatley and use an array. I have the following code but I don't think it's working with the array correctly as it will let me enter the information but doesn't stop letting me enter after the 12 prices. I am really having a hard time trying to figure out how to set up this input for an array and make it all work.

I want to let my users use the Enter key to proceed from one text box to the next text box. I have used the KeyDown event to capture the Enter key press, then used the SelectNextControl(DirectCast(sender, TextBox)) to move to the next TextBox control. The problem, there is a Beep when the Enter key is pressed. How can I keep that beep from happening?

View 3 Replies1. I type the first letter of the username i want in the combobox text area, the combobox drops down and shows me all the usernames starting with that letter. I scroll down to the name i want (as i scroll down, the text area holds each name but the SelectedIndexChanged event does not fire each time), then hit the Tab key, the SIC event fires and i get the result i want.
2. I do the same as above, but instead of hitting Tab key, i hit the Enter key. The same thing happens and i get the result i want.
3. This time, i first click on the dropdown arrow of the combobox such that it shows all usernames starting from the first name. I then type the first letter of the name i want. I saw that another drop down appeared in front of the first one and it was a smaller subset of names starting with the typed letter. I scroll down this smaller dropdown to the name i want (here also, as i scroll down, the text area holds each name, and the SIC event doesnt fire each time), then hit the Tab key, the SIC event fires and i get the result i want.
4. I do the same as #3, but this time i hit the Enter key instead of Tab key. But this time, the combobox text blanks out and the SIC event is not fired (although the name showed up just before i hit the Enter key). So i do not get any results back.
I'm looking for what will allow the user to be able to use the Enter key to exit a TextBox control.
View 5 RepliesI am having nearly 20-25 textboxes on the form. I had already given tab index to those textboxes. So when i press enter, the textbox tab index must be navigated instead of tab. After entering text in TextBox1, when i press enter, it must goes to the TextBox2.How to do this?
View 3 RepliesI have a datagrid with a list of items. Each item has an url for a picture. For each item I have to download the picture from the url, and then show it in the grid. This takes quite a long time, and freezes my application while running.
Is it possible to do this in the background, while allowing the user to take other actions? For example, scrolling down the list to see the items that have been loaded. Or clicking on an item in the list, which calls another function. Maybe doing something on a different form. And doing this while the list continues to load in the background.
A piece of code that will allow the user of my application, to enter the text "unemployed" into a text box and also allow them to enter numbers for how many years the person had been employed for.

View 10 RepliesI've been wanting to create a look like the attached jpeg Ive been looking around for a few hours for a solution to make text boxes transparent or have a background image. I've found a few projects on this form and elsewhere which include transparent text boxes, but every time I try to use it the way I need to--with the text box over a picture box--there are always various rendering errors. Most of the time, the text box is transparent if its just placed on the form (not over any other controls). But when I place them over other controls (like picture boxes), the 'transparent background' always take on the color of the form background.
This is one that I was trying to use. I found a few others around, but they all had the same render errors more or less.[URL]...I figured transparency or background images would have been supported natively. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I missed something in my searches. I didn't really see anything which adds background images in text boxes (rich or otherwise). At this point, I'd just like anything that works, so it doesn't really need to have transparency--just a simple background image would be great.
there is 1 problem that i keep trying to sort out but cant quite do it, this is in a form is there a way to make the background to it transparent? thus see all the pictureboxes, buttons, labels,etc. inside the form but not the form itself? the only things i can think of is opacity and visible however those just don't show anything in the form at all. if I try change the backcolor to transparent it ends up with an error as to what i can understand(correct me if i'm wrong) only controls and childs can have transparent backgrounds.

I've been trying to figure out what is going on with this code, but it looks like I need some help. The issues I'm having is when I click a button that executes my background worker, it freezes and the UI comes back once the listview control is populated.My guess is that some part of my code under the backgroundworker_dowork function is trying to update something on the UI thread causing it to freeze. I just can't figure out what is trying to call the UI.
The user is supposed to click a add server button and enter the server name. The server name will be added to the ListView control. When they click refresh, the background worker is executed which attempts to get the DNS name, IP Addresses, and online/offline status.
Obviously, I'd like to run this code without freezing the UI. Does anyone have any idea on why this might be happening? My guess is because the ListViewItems are passed to the background worker and still have a reference to the control running on the UI thread. Am I right with this statement? If so, how do I change my code to get rid of that reference?
