For some reason i can't select text with the mouse in my application.Also my clients experience the same behaviour.I know it was possible to select a part of the textbox and it stayd selected. Now the selection dissappears and the cursor moves to the front.Only a doubleclick functions properly but selects a single word only.
View 13 RepliesAs I'm sure many of you know, when you double click in a textbox, it selects part of the text, how could I make it where when you triple click on a textbox it selects all the text like a web browser address bar?

View 7 RepliesI have a textbox with the following:"Hello this is a text message box".When I put my mouse over/click each word, ex: "message" I would like the word to be highlighted..How would I go about doing this?I already spent a lot of time searching on google, but its hard to search for the right questions cause its a vague question.
View 4 RepliesHere is what I am trying to do: I've added a .SelectAll() method in the MouseDown event of a textbox and it works well.
Now when the user double clicks, I'd like to unselect the text and set the position where the cursor is.
I don't know if I'am making myself clear here so here is an example:
Let's say this is the following text in the textbox: "this is just a test, please do not panic."
User clicks in the textbox, all the text becomes selected.
Let's assume the position of the curosr is just before the "j"
The user double click so the text becomes unselected and the cursor position automatically changes to the j.
I know I have to use the .Select(start, length) method with 0 as length value, but how do I find the start value depending of the mouse position ?

View 1 RepliesI'm building a dynamic query in my ASP.NET MVC project by the following: [code]Where basically the strWhere is a string that I build up a dynamic filter depending on what the user selects to search on.This works great until I need to add a date comparison to the date clause.[code]Which will end up as:"SELECT VALUE userInfos FROM MyDBEntities.UserInformations AS userInfos Where userInfos.BirthDate <= 10/09/1992"..But when i try to execute the query with the ToList whenever a date is in the where string i get the following error:The argument types 'Edm.DateTime' and 'Edm.Int32' are incompatible for this operation. Near WHERE predicate, line 1, column 103.
View 2 RepliesI'm using the code below to select the text within my textbox during the mousedown event. It works great when the HeaderChanged sub is not called. The problem is, the HeaderChanged sub will always be called on the textbox's focus event.If the user clicks the far right portion of the textbox the whole text value will be selected (like it should), but if the user clicks near the left side of the textbox only a portion of the text will be selected.

I have a main form "Parent" and another "child" form. When I am filling a textbox in the child form the mouse pointer disappears. Then I hit the tab key to jump to a combobox. At this time when I move the mouse, the pointer doesn't come up until I click the mouse button. This is annoying and the user of my program doesn't like it. How can I keep the mouse pointer always on top. NOte: although the main form has the parent property as true, the other child form are not defined as child forms.

View 3 RepliesI'm adding a method to find and select text in my text editor. Everything worked fine, including the ability to find all instances of the text. My problem came when I tried to make it more user-friendly (doesn't it always?). Originally I had only a menu item with a shortcut( Ctrl + F) which invoked an input box.
Then I added a textbox and a button (similar to that seen in a web browser's Find() method) that calls the method in the same manner as the Find/Replace menu option and displays the desired text in the textbox. Everything works fine except that the text is not selected. I have MessageBoxes displaying the values of required variables in 3 places (marked ***FOR DEBUG ONLY***) to make sure that no values are being changed, but all variables are the same. The method still locates the text, but it is not highlighted.
I think it could have something to do with which object has focus. (When I click the button, the selected text loses focus?). But if I click everything with the menu items, it still works...

View 10 RepliesI insert a text box into form1. I move the mouse pointer on top of the text box. I press down on the left mouse button and begin to drag the text box. The problem is when I let go of the mouse button the text box is not dropped. it remain floating around. My only way out of this is to press the escape key which places the text bnox bak to its original location. Thinking that it might be my mouse I tested it in Power point and everything works correctly.

I'm using something call ultragrid in my program.The program works as a mini-record keeping area (Like any datagrid, really). Well, I am adding a history to it and it allows the user to see the last 50 records searched. They get a grid showing the records. This, thus far, works perfectly What I want to do is this: I want to select a record (A cell) in the column 'Dog and have the text of that cell appear in a textbox.

View 11 RepliesI am facing an important problem with the LineShape control (installed with the Visual Basic Power Pack) . The problem is that in design time once I have "Sent to back" some controls (other controls, like text boxes), I can no longer select them! The controls get stuck on the form and I can't select them anymore! Even if I select those controls from the Properties window, I still can't do anything with them (like move them over the form etc). Right now I am using VS 2008. However maybe this problems doesn't appear on VS 2010?
