I'd like to detect a textbox change but only take an action after it is completed.
The problem is the number which is four digits is changes one number at a time so a normal text changed event will be forever logging a change. Ideally it would detect the change and only display a popup 5 seconds after the change is completed (ie no further changes detected!)
I have a form with over 100 textboxes that are set in multiple groupboxes and that number grows as I continue working. I am trying to get an event to fire if there is a keydown on any one of the textboxes. other than individually adding all 100 textboxes to the handler, is there a way for me to create a single event that handles all textbox.keydown events on the form?
I want to run something like the code below every time a textbox on my form changes. The code rules out text boxes within groupboxes that I don't want to fire.
If TypeName(SplitContainer1.ActiveControl) = "TextBox" and InStr(ctrl.Parent.Name, "GroupP1Payoffs") = 0 _
and InStr(ctrl.Parent.Name, "GroupP2Payoffs") = 0 and InStr(ctrl.Parent.Name, "GroupP1LoanDetails") = 0 Then
[Code].....
how can I detect if press Enter in the Textbox Change event and not in Textbox Keypress?
View 3 RepliesI have created a form to update an access DB table. My issue is that when the text in the text boxes is changed and the form is submitted, the .text values stay the same as they were when the datareader loaded them on the page load event. How can I submit the values that the user updates, not what is already there from page load.[code]...
View 1 RepliesI got a Sub which processes a code, and then it does whatever the code said. Example.
Code = "Black" -> Turns screen black.
Code = "OFF" -> Turns off the PC.
And so on.
If I call that Sub from Immediate console, It works perfectly. But if that Sub is called from an event, It does nothing, and usually throws an Exception. I read somewhere that I can fix this by using Threads, but I don't understand how that can help and make it work.
I want to change the TextBox border color if certain event is true.
For example, in a GroupBox, there is a TextBox and a Button.
If the TextBox is empty, and I click the button, I want the TextBox border color to change to red.
If the TextBox is not empty, I want The border color to remain unchanged.
How do I change the TextBox border color on a certain event?
I am finding it strange that the lostfocus event is always executed once when I launched my application. in my lostfocus event, I have some code that queries the db based on the textbox value. It is supposed to be 13 characters. So when i launched my app and presses the first character in the textbox, it is givin an error. When i debug the application, I found out that the lostfocus event is getting called once when i start the application.

As you can see, when I enable/disable my checkbox it enables/disables my textbox.
The thing is, I have more than one textbox, how can i add more textboxes to be enabled/disabled?
I tried using If TextBox2.Enabled = True AND TextBox1.Enabled = True Then
TextBox2.Enabled = False And TextBox1.Enabled = False. (of course fails)
I am writing a simulator program that gets its I/O from external sources with results displayed on a form. I heve composed a form, with graphics that look great, but when I call a loop to actually start the simulation, all my labels on the form go transparent and the 'stop' button I have created does not function.I have tried placing this continuous loop in the form code box and in a separate module but to no avail. Even just putting a clock on the form does not work - it prints to screen initially, but only refreshes when I run the cursor over the stop button.This leads me to believe (remember I am a VB novice)that a form is full of Subs that only run once on form load.So where is the main body of code placed that will run continuously; from where I can check the button status and update the form?

View 4 RepliesIn VB6 we had a code inside textBox_MouseUp to call textBox_KeyUp(-1, 0) and the signature of KeyUp was
Private Sub textBox_KeyUp(ByRef KeyCode As Short, ByRef Shift As Short) Handles textBox.KeyUp
Now when I migrate to .NET I changed the KeyUp event to Private Sub textBox_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles textBox.KeyUp
How can I do this call textBox_KeyUp(-1,0) now from textBox_MouseUp event?

Ok, so I know I have to change the labeledit to true but that doesn't change the selected node to be able to edit, so how does that work?
Along with renaming I have it set to that a user can add a node. So once the node has ben added how do I let them rename it as it is being added and without being a prompt or inputbox? So lets say I cam clicked on a parent and they click add node, it adds it to parent but I have it so it is default "New" but I want them to edit it as it is added. I think it will be along the same lines as clicking on one and rename but I have to start some place.

I have a dgv with several DataGridViewComboBoxColumns and when the user selects an item from one of these (product dropdown), i need it to repopulate another combobox (color dropdown) in the dgv for that same row - based on the value i get from the product dropdown. I've tried using the EditingControlShowing event; however, it only fires when I first select the dropdown .....?
Is this the right event I should be using? My other issue is that I don't know how to have the color dropdown re-populate for just the column and row I've selected. Here's my code so far for this event:
Private Sub DataGridView1_EditingControlShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.EditingControlShowing
Dim myRowIndex As Integer = 0

I can't figure out how to make it so that when a variable reaches a certain value, an event is triggered. For example if I wanted a user's level to change to 2 when he gets 1000 exp.

*****What do I put here?*****(when exp reaches 1000)
level = 2
I am trying to calculate the 'Profit' field based on the current record's 'ProjectTotalBillingEstimate' field and the 'ProjectActualCost' field. I want the 'Profit' text field to be calculated every time a record is changed, either via the navigation toolbar or the Project ID drop down box. I tried performing the calculation everytime the 'Product ID' changed but then the values in the fields of the previous record were used. I was wondering if there was an event that I could use the would occur only after the entire contents of a record were loaded.Essentially what I need to happen is when one moves to another project record the profit field needs to be calculated only after all the fields update to the current record.
