VS 2008 - Handle Leave Event For Multiple Textboxes
Aug 23, 2011
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.
I have multiple textboxes which I want them to perform the same thing upon clicking them. By default I can use the handles textbox1.click for 1 single textbox but I am not sure how to do handle multiples of them. Of course I can write a handler for every single textbox but I have about 50.
Sub TextBox1_click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Click If Button9.Text = "Make Changes" Then If TextBox2.Text <> "" Then Frm_Cine1.Show() [Code] .....
add a code to handle the TextChanged event of my Textboxes to clear the Result box.
Private Sub btnCalculate_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCalculate.Click txtResult.Text = txtRate.Text / 100 * txtAmount.Text * txtYears.Text End Sub
I am using VB2010 Express to create a Windows Form.
I have been able to add an event handler to a single textbox to respond to the ".Leave" action.
Now I want to take multiple textboxes and use them as a single control and use the same event handler.
Eg. If TextBox1, TextBox2 and TextBox3 are grouped as a single control nothing would happen in those boxes until focus went to any other control on the form.
I don't have an example code, but recently figured out how to make a single sub handle the keydown event for multiple text boxes.What I would like to know is if it is simple enough to have the object name that is sending the event instead of "microsoft..text: 54654" (sender.ToString in a debug window) type of return. I don't know how to make use of that.
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?
is it allowed to use more than one Sub to handle the same event ? For example , may I have 2 separate subs to handle the Load event of a form ? Will they fight each other ?I have tested it and it seems to work fine , nevertheless I thought I'd ask you . In case you wonder , there is no great deal , I just want to copy the same lines of code in more forms so I am doing it just in favor of the looking aspect .
Say I have a button that creates more buttons with a random .Text property, and placed them on the form in different locations. And since these buttons are being created at runtime, I want to be able to have an event handler for all button controls on the form that makes the form's text the same as the sender's text.
Is it possible to handle a groupbox rightclick-event in VS 2008? I want to display a dropdown menu when my groupbox is rightclicked, but it seems that a groupbox doesn't have a click-event... Is there a way to make this happen?
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.
I have been working in an Migration Application where i find out some weird problem , Leave Event Fires twice causing validation to fire twice , hence i want to intercept the events to be processed by application..Hence require help in hooking the delegates so that i can get a list of the events that are to be processed .If anybody can help me out by giving some info or code as how to implement hooking in a textbox leave event/
I 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?
My coding is:
Private Sub Combobox1_Leave(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Combobox1.Leave If Not Combobox1.Items.Contains(Combobox1.Text) Then
I have a ListView object with the View property set to Details.I also have the CheckBoxes property set to True. Now, how do I get the user's input if they choose to check a box? Right now I am using the ItemCheck event, but that code runs even when I add something to the ListView object.What is the proper way to handle the event of when the user checks/unchecks a checkbox?
I have a UserControl with a Panel (Panel1). The UserControl has a property Items (type ControlCollection) that returns the Controls collection of Panel1.Via a custom CollectionEditor, I tell the designer that it should add my custom controls called Item (inheriting Control). For the sake of example, the Item control is just a control with a random background color:[code]The custom CollectionEditor creates new Item controls using the DesignerHost service (and its CreateComponent method), so that they appear as actual components in Panel1, selectable during design-time just like any other control.It might be a little hard to see (because the colored Items are docked to the top), but I have selected the red item, which can also be seen from the Properties list.
As you can see in the code, I attach a Click event handler to each item as it is added to Panel1. When clicked, a MessageBox shows the color of the item. Obviously this is just for the sake of this example, but the point is that I need to be able to click an item and something then needs to happen.This works fine during run-time. I can click each item, and the MessageBox shows.The problem is that it does not work (quite obviously) during design-time. When I click it during design-time, it is simply selected (as any other control) and of course does not register any Click (nor MouseClick) events.But, I need the Click event to fire even when in design-time! Clicking an item corresponds to selecting it, and when selected (even in design-time), some other panel (not shown in this example) should be brought to the front so it gets visible. Now, I have created lots of things very similar to this (clicking an item during design-time), but there has always been one major difference: those items were not actual controls on the form. Instead, they were drawn manually on to their parent (and they only looked like separate controls). Obviously there was no design-time support for those 'items' (as they weren't controls), but I could handle clicking them quite easily: by handling the MouseClick event of the parent, I can check the location and see if it falls within an item. If so, that item was 'clicked' (artificially).This time, the items are actual controls, and this method does not work (the parent does not receive a MouseClick event either).So, does anyone know of any way to do this? The only way I can think of right now (although I have no idea how to implement it) is to somehow 'listen' to changes in the designer selection.
MSDN brings nothing up, so here was my attempt at a work around.

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 custom contro which inherits directly from Treeview. Is there any way to handle some event related to when the TreeView Scrollbar appears (it does this when the height of the stack of visible nodes exceeds the height of the control) or "disappears"?
I realize if could set up a function which checks the ItemHeight * Nodes.Count, and compares this to the control height. However, this seems clumsy. I have been exploring the object browser (and anylized TreeView with Reflector) and have not found what I am looking for. If there is a way to access the ScrollBar Property at ALL within TreeView, I have not found it.
I have a program with a lot of textboxes.They are all named Textbox[numbers].I have 39 textboxes.I want to take the text of textboxes 1-26, in order, and output their text into the clipboard, with a loop.I do not know how to make it so it only loops through 1 - 26, and make it not include 27 - 39.
I use this code that works well. Option Strict On Public Class Form1 Dim mylist As New List(Of Integer) Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim mystring As String = "12,13,12,12,12,12,13" [Code] .....
Imagine that you have a couple of baskets with different number of apples. Need to be determined (in textbox2) in which the basket is, for example apple number 29. (the number is entered in textbox1). I want to add two textboxes and expand the code to do two jobs at once ( in one button click event): - For example, need to be determined in which the baskets are apples number 17. and 38.?
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?
The 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.
I am creating an application for a friend and have no issue inserting or updating the table, but I am having trouble relaying the information from the query back to the corresponding textbox when searching for an entry.
This is the closest thing I've got to a working model, but I'm still getting and "array out of index error".
