VS 2010 Dynamically Adding A Keypress Event Handler?
Oct 16, 2011
I'm new to VB and trying to add a Key(Down? Press?) Handler to a dynamicly created textbox. The error I get is "'KeyDown' is not an event of 'Object'". How do I fix this?Here are the relevant parts of my
Public Class main
Structure square
Dim box As TextBox
Dim guessedVal As Integer
Dim correctVal As Integer
I have to create controls for inputting info to create people objects in the program, because I don't know how many people they are going to input, I have a button that they can press to add more fields.
I need to add a doubleclick event for these dynamic controls (text boxes), how can I create an event for them if they haven't been created yet. Also, as far as I know you cant make a variable part of an object name while declaring it. I need to do something like
Dim dynamicText & (Append variable counter each time a box is made)As New TextBox dynamicText &variable counter. Name = "TimeTextBox" dynamicText.Text = "SdgsdG" dynamicText.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(100, 100)
[code].....
Also is there a way to like copy and paste a group of controls via code instead of having to code each individual one like if I had to do a text box along with a combo box and a lable all at once, can I throw it into something so I only have to recreate the container?
I am playing around with Drag and Drop, and I am having an issue with AddHandler. I am creating labels and displaying them on a form. Before I add each label to the form, I add 2 event handlers (DragEnter and DragLeave). When I run the code, it hits the first event handler (DragEnter), but doesn't hit the second event handler (DragLeave). Either I have coded something wrong, or the second handler is not being added.
Here is my code (note this is just something Im playing around with for learning):
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
In connection with a windows form's text control the keypress event handler provides a key's identity through the KeyChar property of the event argument. This works fine for all alphanumeric keys and Ctl-a ... Ctl-z, Backspace etc. but does nothing for such keys as Insert, Delete, Home, End, and the navigation keys. I would also want to read Ctl and Alt keys combinations etc. I have done these thing before, too many years ago, but forgotten it all. Tried the reference manual, but have not enough years left to succeed that way.
I have a TableGridLayout (6 x 6) which host 36 buttons created at design time.From the 36 buttons, only a handfull maybe needed at anyone time depending on data retrieved from an SQL database.Everytime I need to 'clear' the grid to populate with new items, I clear the text of each button, make it visable if required and then upadate with the new text.On every pass if a button becomes active, I add an event handler to the button like this.[code]...
I would like to ask a question with DataGridView event handling.The event I am going to handle is the double-clicking of a cell in a DataGridView:If the DataGridView's are statically drawn on the form at design time, then it is easy to assign to each of them an even handler by double clicking the corresponding event in the properties panel.
When I utilize AddHandler in VB to add my own method to the Click event :
AddHandler Button.Click, AddressOf myButton_Click
I see that my code executes last - after other event handlers for the Button_Click event. Is there a way to insert my event handler in front of other events so that it executes first?
I am passing some values from a Gridview Update Click event to a popup ASP.net page that dynamically builds a series of textboxes in a Placeholder based on the number of sentences that are found in a specific cell of the Grid Row selected.The boxes that are built represent each sentence found in the cell of the selected row. Each sentence is presented for translation, where user enters data into a 2nd dynamically generated textbox.This all works great.Now I have a Listbox beside the 2nd textbox, which sometimes has 1 or more variables that need to placed into the translated sentence. I have set up a Hover menu over the listbox so that I can select the variable and insert it at the end of the sentence in the 2nd textbox. My problem is generating the click event on the dynamically created Listbox. Something like....
Protected Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & ListBox1.SelectedValue
i just start programming in asp.net i struggling to add event handler dynamically. here is the scenario when the aspx page is load a link button is add with an event handlerpage load add link button and event handler with link button
Dim products As New LinkButton products.Text = "Products" testPanel.Controls.Add(products)
The event handlers in my parent class are never called though the events are raised in the child class.
The Code:
Public Class childForm Public Event checkboxchangedEvent(ByVal checkbox1 As Boolean, ByVal checkbox2 As Boolean) Private Sub checkboxchanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged, CheckBox2.CheckedChanged
I'm trying to create a WPF application and found out that there is no KeyPress event for Textboxes, so I used PreviewTextInput. Now, I want to have a function that will block the keys that will make the input data invalid. [code]Now, my problem is, when I choose numeric, the textbox still accepts spaces, how can I block the spacebar?
I was asked to create an application that has a custom control that acts as a button. I managed to do almost all the requirements except the one for the KeyPress event. The customer wants to click the "Alt + C (for example)" to trigger the button click event in this case for a Cancel button. I did the code and it works fine ONLY when that custom control has the focus on it. But when it loses it, it doesn't. I don't know how to make the form accepts that KeyPress and sends to the custom control. I tried to set the form's KeyPreview property of the form to Ture but it didn't work too.
By the way, I know that it would work by writing the code in the KeyPress of the form but that's not the requirement because the user control will be used as a standalone component for many projects.
OK, so my project is like this:The user selects a folder from their computer that holds a list of subfolders. The program then dynamically inserts a check boxes per subfolder within a seperate cell of a Table Layout Panel.I want to and a simple Click event to each checkbox control so that when a control is clicked, it counts all of the check boxes on the form that are checked.How do I go about adding the event handler to the checkboxes when they are created. Here is the code that adds the checkboxes:
Dim iCol As Integer = 1 Dim objFolder As Object = Nothing For j = 0 To rCount - 1 '0 to dynamic number of rows
For i as integer 1 to dt.rows.count dim subpan as new panel *Code for creating panel" Next
the problem is i need to be able to add event handlers to each of them including, click, mouseEnter and mouseLeave but i can't figure out how to index each panel so that they can be accessed and identified. i tried using a property but that didn't seem to work or i was doing it wrong.
How can I set my application in VB 2010 to do something when I press a certain key on the keyboard? I heard somethin about the Keypress Event but i'm not sure that will actually work. I want a code so that my application can do the following things: If I press either the left or the right Windows Logo key on the keyboard, I want it to make Label2 visible. I already set the Visible value on false in Mybase.Load.
I've been fiddling with this for ages and can't get it right. If you have this in C#:
videoSource1.NewFrame +=new NewFrameEventHandler(videoSource1_NewFrame); void videoSource1_NewFrame(object sender, NewFrameEventArgs eventArgs) { // stuff to do in here }
How would write it in VB? My head is spinning with AddHandler and AddressOf and I can't seem to get it right.
I'm using FileSystemWatcher in an application.it monitors the files in a folder, then do some processing. I monitor FileCreate, Change, Rename, Delete event.the problem is: when I copy some images to that folder, it fired the create event, but the file is not actually ready, so, when I load the file in the event handler, it failed.how can deal with this correctly?
I have many textbox controls and they are named as txt1.text, txt2.text, txt4.txt etc.I want to raise the event "Leave" when txt1.text leaves or txt2.text leaves.but with a single handler.
I'm working on a program with a fairly complex graphical interface. Due to the volume of information possible in the interface, the tooltip, or something like it, seems likely to be a fairly critical means of obtaining feedback. However, after a bit of testing, there are a few features that I am not really enamored with. First, I am changing the tooltip text dynamically based on the portion of a control that the mouse hovers over. This is done in the Hover event handler. What I am seeing is that once the hover event is raised once for a control, it appears not to be raised for that control again unless the mouse leaves the control and re-enters. Therefore, the tooltip is set based on where the mouse hovers the first time it hovers on the control, then doesn't change until the mouse has left the control.
More disturbingly, the tooltip sometimes doesn't show up at all. It appears that if I am quick enough about moving the mouse over the control, then hovering does nothing and no tooltip shows up at all. The way to get the tooltip to show up is to move the mouse smoothly, and somewhat slowly, over the control, then pause. As long as the motion is slow enough, the tooltip always shows up. However, if the mouse is then moved, the tooltip goes away, and won't return until the mouse has left the control and come back to it. So basically, First, I will look into showing something on MouseMove rather than Hover, as Hover appears to be inconsistent, at best. Yet that doesn't solve the problem that the tooltip is too inconsistent in behavior. Is there an alternative, or timing property settings for the tooltip that improves responsiveness?
to know if a control have any handler. I have a dgv and in the editing control Showing event i add an event handler like this: VB AddHandler e.Control.KeyPress, AddressOf Grid_KeyPress_NumbersOnly This event it's added in some of the columns and for the other ones i remove it... The problem it's when the user, for example selects 3 columns where the event it's added, then if the user selects one where the event it's removed, it doesn't remove all handlers... So i have 2 solutions, when removing i put multiple removes or the other check if the event handler it's added doesn't add again. I prefer this second option, but i don't know how to check if the event it's added?
remove an event handler from within the event handler?
I have a class that gets data from a hand scanner. When the scan is complete and the data is validated, the class fires a custom "ScanComplete" event and returns the data in a custom EventArgs.
In the calling program, I'm creating an instance of the scanning class and adding a handler for the "ScanComplete" event. In the event handler I get the data that was scanned and then remove the handler.
It seems to be working but it feels wrong to remove the handler while I'm running inside the handler. Will this cause a problem?
When I double click on a form control while in the design view in a Web Application project within Visual Studio 2010, say a 'button' or a 'submit' for example, it inserts a javascript function into my .aspx file. When I do this at work it automatically creates an event handler for the control in the code-behind.How do I change this to that setting?I don't want to type those event handler subroutines every time!
The title pretty much precisely asks the question, but I shall repeat;
When I double click on a form control while in the design view in a Web Application project within Visual Studio 2010, say a 'button' or a 'submit' for example, it inserts a javascript function into my .aspx file.

I have used '/resetsettings' already, and other answers to similar questions do not solve my problem. I have reinstalled, gone through every menu I can find (though I may have missed something)I don't want to type those event handler subroutines every time!
I want to create a combobox like winform control in VB.Net that makes suggestions dynamically; exactly as the address bar does in Google Chrome or IE 8/9. Basically on each keypress, get a list of items that match the entered text on a background thread(s) and show these items in the dropdown list as they are (possibly slowly) returned - either from DB queries, web services etc.
I have tried a couple of ideas, changing the AutoComplete list dynamically or binding to a list, which I then update. But I am getting some rather odd and incorrect results even when updating the list directly (on the main thread). I also tried implementing my own textbox control that shows a ListBox control where the dropdown would appear - this seemed a lot more reliable but I cannot get it to draw over the edge of forms etc when shown, as the combobox drop-down does.
I'm trying to complete this airline reservation application, but having a problem in this part of the question:Creat an event handler for the FlightBindingSource's PositionChanged event: select FlightBindingSource in the class Name combobox then select position changed in method name combobox to creat the FlightBindingSource's PositionChanged event handler. Write a code to access the currently displayed flight object and pass its flightNumber to method DisplayPassengers as a decimal.This Is my code so far:

I working on a project that includes to call a certain type of method to each control, i have this code:
Private Sub txtBcNum1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtBcNum1.KeyPress If Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) Or e.KeyChar = Chr(8) Then
[Code]....
I have 15 textboxes( txtBcNum1,txtBcNum2,....,txtBcNum15 ), what's the best way to call this function inside KeyPress method on each textboxes with out manually adding it to KeyPress method?
