I have 22 text boxes that have to be checked to see if the value has changed. I am using the TextChanged Event handler to do this thus:
Private Sub TextStringChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
DataChanged = True
RemoveHandler ........
[code]....
The Handler would be added after the data had been loaded. The question is:Is there another way of checking for text changes without having to add and remove 22 handlers.
I have an unbound Datagridview which gets its data from an array from an Excel sheet. I give the user the chance to amend this data in a Datagridview. I then need to know if the user has changed this data before processing it further. I have in vain, tried to use IsCurrentRowDirty, IsCurrentCellDirty, looping through DGV matrix etc. It seems that because the DGV is not bound to a dataset then the normal properties like HasChanged and the 2 above don't seem to work. Here is my attempted code which is not working:
Dim DGRow As DataGridViewRow Dim DGCell As DataGridViewCell For Each DGRow In DGV_ReviewDetails.Rows
I'm basically putting some validation logic around an undo button on my form and i'd like to check whether any fields on the form have had their values changed so i can ask the question "abandon changes?". This seems like something pretty standard to me but I can not see how to check whether a value has had its contents changed (without recording a before value and comparing it to the after value which for large forms would be quite horrendous to code).
In the language i used to use we used to walk the object tree (so we dont have to specify each object individually like text box, combo box etc) and check any object that have value-changed = yes to indicate the validation was required.
I changed my Username on my computer from i.e. "xxxxxx x xxxxx" to "Dennis"
VB 2008 during a compile gave me the following error: Error reading icon 'C:Usersxxxxxx x xxxxxAppDataRoamingMicrosoftVBExpress9.0VSProjectApplication.ico' -- The system cannot find the path specified.
The file "VSProjectApplication.ico" is in 'C:UsersDennisAppDataRoamingMicrosoftVBExpress9.0'
Somewhere in the VB2008 "configuration" files I believe that I need to manually change the old path to the new path.
I found the old path in the ".suo" file. The ".suo" file is not a text file. How can I edit the .suo file, save it so that it will work?
Can I set this function so that if the local settings.txt exists, it will NOT be overwritten unless the mapped file is newer?
If IO.File.Exists("C: empsettings.txt") = False Then IO.File.Copy("K: empsettings.txt", "C: empsettings.txt") ElseIf IO.File.Exists("C: empsettings.txt") = True Then
[Code]...
Currently modifying a program that is being used by several staff. Each time they restart it, it starts the latest build.
I have a settings.txt file that is needed for the latest build(not on all pc's yet, original version has the settings written in the code) and updated as needed.
If local PC doesn't have settings.txt, it is copied, if it does have settings.txt it gets overwritten by the mapped copy on each run.
Wanting to let users keep their 'personalized' local settings.txt, unless I add a new feature to the program that requires a change to the mapped settings.txt file.
I'm Making a Simple syntax highlighter and I'm Doing the highlighting in the text Changed event of a RTB and for obvious reasons I can't re highlight the whole document each time someone presses a key so i highlight one line each time the text changes. But this creates a Problem. If someone pastes code into the RichTextBox It only highlights the last Line. So is there a way to get if the user typed the text in with his keyboard or pasted it from the clipboard in the text Changed event?
on my Form I have a DataViewGrid and some textboxes with a save button (they are filled with additional data of the selected row).Save is disabled first, when I change something in the textboxes the save button is enabled.When the user changes a gow in the grid, I want to ask before changing the grid row, if he wants to save (if the button is enabled).I am using RowEnter but this is too late, then the selected row already changed (and my textboxes already got new data)...What event can I use to ask if I should save stuff before the user changes a row?Something like BeforeRowChanging with a chance to cancel changing the row?
I have a data entry form with many text boxes/combo boxes/controls. I want to change their bgcolor everytime the user makes a change so they are aware of what changes they have made before commiting.
My plan is to store the original value in the tag and comapre in the validated event.
I don't won't to write the same code everytime I need a control to behave that way. I've never written a customcontrol before.
how to achieve this by probably subclassing the control and reuse the code regardless of the type of control it is?
Is there a way to check if the user has changed the value of a textbox?I try to acces a variable in one of my methods to compare against the value but I can not seem to be able to access it?
I made an account manager where i can store all my accounts and I want it more protected, how can I changed the displayed text in my "colPassword" in datagridview? Just like in textbox the PasswordChar, please give me sample code :)
I have an number of text boxes and comboboxes on different forms. I have textchanged events which trigger a msgbox if the user enters invalid data(i.e. the number they enter is to big or to small). Is their a simple way to make the program not call the textchanged event when the form is loaded and the boxes get their initial value? Second is their a way to make the textchanged only be triggered when the user enters data not when the program clears the boxes?
how to trigger a textchanged event. I want to enter data in one text box and have the rest of the data show up after i fill it in. For example I enter someones name and then 3 other text boxes fill in with his height weight and ect after i entered his name.
Really weird issue, perhaps someone can shed some light. I have a windows form with a combobox. When you make a selection it's supposed to update another control, so I have
Private Sub LoadAssociatedLocations() Handles combobox_categories.SelectionChangeCommitted
Dim test As String = combobox_categories.Text I've done this in other winforms projects without issue, though for some reason in this case, when the combobox is changed, combobox.Text has the value of the previous selection. The SelectedIndex value is the connect index, but Tex is always the text of the previously selected index. I can just use selected index of course, but I'd like to know what's causing this strange behavior.
im trying to add a text changed method to my listview item. all the items are dynamicly created so i would think id have to use an addhandler listviewitem1.textChanged addressof listviewitems_click where listviewitems_click is the generic sub to handle the click. but the listviewitem control doesnt have a text changed event, but you can rename the text in the control anyway.
I'm in an upper level industrial engineering class in which we're learning some entry level VB programming. We're working on building a program to solve the travelling salesmen problem (finding the shortest path through a collection of cities while visiting each only once) and I'm trying to add some 'fancy' to it so I can learn some more skills. The basic program is designed to load a bitmap file of a map into a picture box and a text file with the xy coordinates of any city positions. From there, the user can plot the cities with red squares, draw a random tour through the cities, or tour the cities by always visiting the nearest neighbor not yet visited. The modification I'm working on is a method of pointing out a specific city with a black square by entering the city's number (determined from the coordinate file) into a text box.
Private Sub TxtFindCity_textchanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TxtFindCity.TextChanged Dim ObjFindCity As Graphics = picShowMap.CreateGraphics Dim City As Integer
[Code]...
So far, the program works, but I want the black squares (but none of the other graphics) that are created to go away once the text box is cleared. As of now they just hang around on the screen until I refresh the entire image with a 'clear map' sub. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
I am using the following code to populate text boxes based on a drop down list index change event
Private Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs) Handles DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged
[Code]....
The code works until it gets to the last item if there is only one item in the dropdown box it does not populate the text boxes, if I loop through the code it is going to the droplist index change but it goes from dr.Read() and just jumps to dr.close() without populating the text boxes?
I have some textboxes bound to a bindingsource and bindingnavigator.
I want to detect when the values have changed and prompt the users to confrim if they want to update.
When the form is first initalised and when then binding navigator moves to the next record the text_changed event fires on textbox where I have a boolean to determine if things have changed.
Is there a way to set my boolean only when valid data changes have occured or a better way to detect if things have changed
I am having issues understanding why it is that a text box that has been bound to a dataset correctly updates that dataset when the text in the box is manually changed i.e. by changing it using the keyboard but the dataset does not recognise the change when I change it in code.Am I missing something obvious? The text is changed in code when the user clicks on a command button that copies the text from another textbox on the form to this textbox.
[Code]...
As i mentioned, manually it works fine but when I use the comman button to change the text it does not recognise that any changes have occured.
I am trying to figure out if I have a textbox and user entered and another user wrote How can I have an IF statement to check if there's a bk= SOMEWHERE in the text and if there is then DO something.It has to search for bk= because everybody wont enter hello my name is bk= john, it will be diferent combinations like
with this all previously defined earlier, book is another class with a public sub new and all is working perfectly well.However. Within the book class I've a bit of code which sets the author "invalid" if it is wrong (i.e. the name has numbers).How would I then check within myBook for an instance of invalid?i.e. assuming a string that can only be invalid or not if myBook= "invalid" then correctstuff=false
I have a search textbox.I need the code-behind to check the value of the textbox and act upon it accordingly. I need to differentiate between the different search criteria.[code]I have the number searches working properly (street number, parcel number and routing number). If I search for a street address, it sees the whole string as a string instead or it containing a number as well.I need it to differentiate it between a street address and the owner last name/street name.[code]
The error it has is that when one of the text boxes is changed the code changes all of them triggering every single function to activate. Is there a simpler solution other then recoding it from the start? also each different Private Sub is identical basically.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub K_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles K.TextChanged Dim T As Double[code]...
I know the code is very brute forced & sloppy but its the only way i really know how to do it.
I have this code to check if an item from a textbox is in a listbox and its giving me the error at the bottom.I copied it from another part of my project and it was working for that part so I cant see whats wrong.
If LocationsSearchTextBox.Text <> "" And LocationListBox.Items.Count > 0 Then tempInt = 0 While (tempInt < ClientListBox.Items.Count)[code]......
How I could go about checking a typed value in a combo to the values in the combo box. I am making a system to select lockerID and Supplier ID I want the user to be able to enter the value in the combo box as well as select the value form the list in the combo box. Here is the code I have been trying.
If cboStockID.Text = "" And cboStockID.Text <> cboStockID.Items.ToString Then MsgBox("Please enter Stock ID") Exit Sub ElseIf cboSupplierID.Text = "" Then MsgBox("Please Enter Supplier ID") Exit Sub End If
Well, its not text, but a number. I've currently got about 10 labels and right now I'm checking each one of them separately using if statements, but I've been told that there is an easier way using a For statement (I've never really got used to it...) to check all of them without having so many if statements... Currently I'm trying something like this (which, ofcourse, doesn't work and is completely wrong :X)
Dim i(10) As Integer i(1) = label1.Text i(2) = label2.Text
