I've been scouring the Net, but I can't find anything really useful on how to set a default button in a user control (everythings for ASP). I can imagine the brute force method of handling the keypress for each control within the control and checking to see if the Enter key was pressed, and if so, calling a PerformClick on my desired button... But I just have difficulty imagining that this will be the best method, especially on Search Controls that have 30-40 subControls on them. I've tried just handling the KeyPress event at the control level but it never gets called when a sub control has focus.
Another problem with the brute force method is that some of the controls within my UserControls are themselves UserControls containing several controls, so I would have to handle each sub control within the sub-user-controls and create EnterKeyPressed events that were raised when one of the sub-sub-controls received an Enter KeyPress. This could go on for several levels. Then I would need to handle all these events. This seems like an unnecessary layer of complexity.
Is there some way to create a routine that perhaps automates the above? Or just a simple workaround? I know I can set the Accept and Cancel Buttons of a form, but I have a form with a TabControl that has a UserControl on each tab. Each one of these tabs needs its own Default Button.
Is there any simple way to hide all the design time properties of a User Control.
When my UC is on a form there's a lot of properties in the properties explorer. All those default ones that every UC has. AccessibleName, AccessibleRole, Anchor etc etc etc (dozens of the them)
Any way to hide most/all those and just expose my own ?
I suppose I want my User Control to be more like a 'Component' like the Timer and other components that don't have a UI. Short of rewriting my UC as a Component is there any quick way to hide all those form properties ?
limit the default events, properties and methods exposed from a UserControl so it only displays to the developer the new events etc that I code myself.What i mean is I have created a UserControl with a panel and 5 buttons, written 1 Public Eventonly at this stage, I have placed an instance of the control on a form in a new project, but in the drop down menu that comes up after say (myUserControl1.), there is a massive list of options, I don't want those to appear.
I have created a button in a UserControl. I have added that button to a WindowsForm in another app and added a buttonclick event to the code. When running (debugging) the app and clicking on the button; nothing happens. It doesn't act like a button at all.
The code for the button click event in my test app is as follows:
Private Sub Element1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Element1.Click MsgBox("The button has been clicked") End Sub

What control should i use if i want a button with default text on it and when i press on it, it give a drop down menu that i can select different commands. I tried a combobox which seems to be very close to what i want. i set the dropdownstyle to dropdownlist so it looks like a button. but i cant seem to set a default text on the box and i dont want this text to be in the item list. also when i set the dropdownwidth to a value larger than the combobox width, it will align left.
I must have done something really, really dumb somewhere, but I don't know if I did a really, really dumb VB.Net thing or a really, really dumb Framework thing.I have a dirt simple UserControl - it consists of one Button. Nothing more.
the title says it all. haha.i'm using Visual Basic 2008 - Office 2007 - addin for pptbasically i want to make it so that when i press a button, the userControl will popup from no where lol. what code do i have to type for this?
I have a UserControl, we'll call it myUC, that is one among several UserControls in the main window(myWindow) of my WPF application. myUC contains a number of standard controls, one of them being a button, we'll call it myButton.
When I click myButton, I would like to execute myMethod, which exists in the code-behind of myWindow.
The problem being that myUC doesn't have any idea that myWindow even exists, much less that myMethod exists.
How can I send the message: 'Hey, myWindow, wake up. myButton on myUc was just clicked; run myMethod'?
I am working on a form that save contents of a TextBox as a txt file, but I want to make my own file type, with the extension .rcp. How do I get my save Button to save as .rcp by default? [code]
I have a 'DataGrid' usercontrol on my simple little form and I press a button that opens a text file and populates the DataGrid like so,
A B C 1 2 3 3 4 4 3 1 3
Where A, B, and C are my column headers.
I also have a 'ListBox' on the form. What I would like to do is, allow the user to select one, two, or three rows (or all) in the datagrid, and press a button that will move the data from selected rows into my listbox (each row its own string in the list box).
I can populate the datagrib easy enough, but don't know how to access the cell data individually?
I have MainLayout.master that has UC_Menu.ascx on it. I have a page named Customer.aspx that uses MainLayout.master. Customer.aspx also contains a UserControl named UC_Details.ascx.How can I have UC_Menu.ascx call a function that is in UC_Details.ascx with this scenario?
Sorry about asking all of these questions, but I am making an app and I have had a request for when the user types into the text box he can automatically hit Enter and it will navigate to the specified destination. However I have tried EVERYTHING and I cannot get it to stay default when the user clicks the text box. So it's like this. The user clicks the text box.
I have a Windows Form frmMain() holding seven more-or-less unrelated UserControls, ucFlopsy", "ucMopsy", "ucCottontail", etc...I say "more-or-less" because each of the seven UC has three similar public read/write properties:
IsLocked (a boolean indicating if the following two properties are "Locked") IsLockedID (if IsLocked=True then IsLockedID is an integer) IsLockedName (if IsLocked=True then IsLockedName is a string)
I have a form with a button which is disabled by default, and a CheckedListBox with 68 items in it. What is the simplest way of enabling the button, when an item in the CheckedListBox is selected or unselected? I'm looking for something like If CheckedListBox1...any of the items state changes...Then Button1.Enabled = True End If
I want to find a way to make a specific button, the form's default button,I.e. the button that is highlighted when the form opens for the first time. I tried the AcceptButton property but when I run the program, that does not work.
I'm working on some project for Windows Mobile (Pocket PC 2003).And, i can't find AcceptButton property for Form object.how can I set default button property for Form in VB.NET project for Windows Mobile.And also CancelButton.
I have created a form to similate the use of a messagebox. The main reason for creating it is so I can specify an "action"button on it. I.e., instead of just offering Yes or No to the question "Are you sure you want to remove the record?", I can have an "action" button which says "Remove Record" and a No button.
The problem I am having is that I cannot get the No button to be the default button when I do form.showdialog. Instead the action button is the default button. At design time I set the No button as the AcceptButton. I also set it in the code, which I realize I should not have to do. Then I set Focus on the No button. I do the doevents just to be sure the code has finished manipulating the buttons.
I'm using gridview with templates to show and edit some information from a sql database.
When I edit and change the data in that row and then click enter it automatically presses the highest on page button which uses submit to server set to true which means it'll try to delete instead of update.
I've have tried setting a panel round the gridview and setting the panel's default button to the "updatebutton" but it won't allow that because it can't 'see' the buttons.
In design mode - how do I change the default back color of buttons? I am using a white font and can not see the writing with the back color. The backcolor is transparent so in runtime it is fine (back color goes to blue and white shows).
I come from using REAL Studio (formerly REALbasic)on the Mac + Windows.I just got MS Visual Studio and I am using the "Basic" language part of VS. in REAL Studio there is a property pane where you can select a button and make it the default button.I looked at the property pane in Visual Studio and couldn't figure out how to make one of my buttons the default button.
i've designed mac buttons in vb.net but each project i change the design,propeties and events is there a way to make this design,properties and events the default for any new project.
Hey guys i've finished designing my UserControl (Button) for my project. However i seem to have an issue when i try to add it to a form, I get an error saying CovButton.CovButton is not defined.
Also if you have the time could you have a look over the source and just give your opinion on it? I think my drawing methods are pretty b-grade as it seems to freeze up a bit when you add an image to the usercontrol.
