Why Cant See The MaskedTextBox Autosize Property Anywhere
Jun 3, 2011
I have been looking through the MSDN library at the maskedtextbox documentation. It says that the maskedtextbox has a autosize property which i cant see in the properties window in VS2010, and nor can i see it in the intellisense window that pops up when I try to write MaskedTextBox1.AutoSize. I really need to be able to change the size of the maskedtextbox.
I am trying to find a way to adjust the height of a MaskedTextBox. The height seems to depend only on the font size. I tried to create my own class and use SetStyle to allow me change the height but it didn't seem to have any effect. I set the parameter to True and False, both with the same result. The height changed according to the font size and I could not change it. The code is shown below.
What is the purpose of the FixedHeight style? Is there a way to control the height of the MaskedTextBox?
Public Class Form1 Dim WithEvents MTB As MyTextBox Public Class MyTextBox
Is it possible to autosize a webbrowser control? I mean I want it to be just big enough to show whatever HTML content I load into it (without scrolling), and no talller.
Or, alternatively, how do I find the height of a given HTML document? Once I do that, setting the height of the Web Browser is easy.
I am having trouble with a custom label control I am working on. I want to add the autosize and the center alignment properties. In order to do that, I need to get the string length in twips, or points
I have datagridview with some columns that the user can hide or show using a contextmenu. Below that I have some textboxes inside a tablelayoutpanel which the user can write into to filter the data in the datagridview.
But if the user hides a column in the datagridview, I want the textbox below to disappear as well and the other textboxes automatically take up the empty space.
I made some screenshots so you will be able to understand it better:
When the user hides the column:
The column named "Totaal prijs" has now gone and so has the corresponding textbox below. But the columns in the datagridview now stretch nicely to take up the free space. How can I do the same with the textboxes?
When I drag a label control from toolbox to form, default autosize is true. I need to change to false every time. (I do not like true). How to make default value as false as default value?
I am using Visual Studio 2008 and VB.NET. I've got a listview control on my form and I've added columns using the windows forms designer. As you know, if you double-click on the sizer or divider or whatever you want to call it between two columns, the column on the left will autosize (unless you disable that). How can I catch this specific event? The ColumnWidthChanged event and the DoubleClick event are likely candidates, but in the ColumnWidthChanged event, there's no way I can see to determine if it was an autosize. Similarly, there's no simple way to catch what was clicked exactly with the DoubleClick event. how I can catch this specific event type?
I have a Parent form and a child form. I have set the child form as sizable, autosize to true, autosizemode to Grow and Shrink and windowsstate at max. The child properly maximizes on when loaded but does not resize with the parent. Here is the initial code to load the child...
What exactly is a MaskedTextProvider? What is it used for?? and How do i use it?I mostly understand the MaskedTextBox control, but I'm not sure what the connection is between to two is?how to go about using the two... Does anyone know of any??? I found plenty of the MaskedtextBox, but none with a decent explaination of the use of the MaskedTextProvider.
How do I get just the value that is typed into a MaskedTextBox?For instance, if I have a MaskedTextBox with the mask of (999) 000-0000 x000000, and the user typed in a phone number, like (905) 555-1234 x6869.How do I get back the raw number value, without the mask? (ie: 90555512346869)
After experimenting around with DevExpress controls and adding them to my form, Custom mask do not seem to work on the MaskedTextBox. If I place a custom mask and debug, I get a null reference exception.
It seems to be the maskedTextBox's mask property that is doing this. I have tried setting the mask through design and by code. However, neither way works.
My question is, is it possible to use a TextBox as a maskedTextbox? To be able to format it? I need the user to enter in hours, minutes, seconds like hh:mm:ss or 00:00:00.
Here's the error I get:
"NullReferenceException was unhandled. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I am creating a WinForms application using VS.NET 2005, VB.NET, and SQL Server 2000. My problem is the MaskedTextBox control. I can successfully insert the value in an SQL Server table column as smalldate such as 3/17/2009, but it displays as 31/72/009.
I tried the following with no success:mskLastPayment.Text = Format(rdr!LastPayment).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")mskLastPayment.Text = rdr!LastPayment.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")mskLastPayment.Text = CType(rdr!LastPayment.ToString(), DateTime).ToShortDateString
I am trying to find a way to validate my MaskedTextBox control called mskDate which is a short date property. I need to determine whether the user entered a date in the MaskedTextBox control. I cannot use the Not IsDate function because what happens if the user does not make an entry, then the Not IsDate would not work because the user is not required to enter a date. What happens if the user only enters 03/? This would not be considered a date, but a valid date is required. I tried using the substring to see if an entry has been made but it does not work because of the / / format.
Is it possible to disable a maskedtextbox and not have it greyed out? I have several on my form, some of them I allow input and some I don't. I'd like to have the enabled boxes one color and the disabled another color.
Does anyone know how to set the maskedtextbox to a currency format that actually works? I have set the mask to $999,999.00 but the user input looks like this 120,0 instead of this 12.00. It seems like the maskedtextbox would be able to handle this type of input without using the keypress events to alter the text.
I am going to make a form which will have 10 MaskedTextBoxes. I want to validate input of all these MaskedTextBoxes then Sum the input of validated one into another MaskedTextBox. If there is any value in any MaskedTextBox it mast be validate by the format of "9990.000" or if it is empty return zero. I do not want to write the same code for every MaskedTextBox, I want to use function & sub. The problem with "e" type TypeValidationEventArgs. When I call the SumBurBoxes sub in txtBur_1_TypeValidationCompleted & give the "e" as second parameter, then if the txtBur_1 be invalid type and any other txtBur Boxes have value it will get error on all boxes if the txtBur_1 be valid type even the the other boxes be invalid type it does not get error on them.
Here is my Code.
Public Class Entrance Private Function RetrnTxtBur(ByVal index As Integer) Dim txt(0 To 9) As MaskedTextBox txt(0) = Me.txtBur_1
I set up my code to allow the user to enter either 5 numbers since most people like me don't know the last four of their zip codes.
The plan here is to allow the user to either enter 5 numbers or 9 numbers. The numbers cannot be less then 5 or more then 9.
If the user does not enter the numbers they cannot leave the field.
This is just a practice project.
This is the code I have written.
I have chaged this code multiple times for about an hour and cannot figure out what I am doing wwrong.
take a look:
Private Sub masTxtCusZipCodeField_Leave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles masTxtCusZipCodeField.Leave If masTxtCusZipCodeField.Text.Length = 4 Or masTxtCusZipCodeField.Text.Length = 8 Then
Maybe it's a simple quiestion but i realy don't know how to solve it... i've searched on google bu i did not find any clue how can i check the MaskedTextBox..I have put the mask "##/##/####" (to serve as a date input) and i dont know how can i check this do not be empty... i have tried "__/__/____" and also " / / " and "##/##/####" but nothings working.
I have used a maskedtextbox with the following input Mask##?-##.##' >?The first 6 characters are numbers and the last character has to be a uppercase letter. But when i use this al letters are good. But i want to use only certain letters. For example the N and S letters. How can i set this?
I need to know this because I am in a situation that I cannot find a alternative. I am using MaskedTextBox and has a Mask of "__/__/____". Obviously, It's a date format. Now, I cannot get if the MaskedTextBox is string.empty because it is not an empty. I cannot use "If MaskedTexBox.Text = "__/__/____" then " condition also because It never captured. If I used MaskTextBox.MaskFull = false, It gives an error on creating form. So I came up with an idea that would subtitute to TextChanged Event.
