With a listbox visible, I have clicked on the windows form hoping to use the listbox.lostfocus event to let me hide the listbox - but the event does not occur. I suppose I can use the form.click event to hide the listbox, but how would I get the form to accept focus?

Say you've got a form, Form1, and you're in the Paint event. Is there a way to test to see if, say, the Resize event is occurring from within the Paint event?
View 9 RepliesI have two radio button on my asp.net page, with AutoPostBack = True When I click on either of those, they each set a flag SaveData=False However, when I click on them, the page_load event occurs first, so the page_load event saves the data, then the radiobutton_OnCheckedChanged event is triggered. How can I trigger the OnCheckedChanged before the page_load event?
View 5 Repliesthe scenario is the following: I have a textbox ,next to it a button. The user types a value in the textbox, he presses tab, I search this value in the database in the LostFocus event, if there is no match, a browse form shows and the user can select the desired value. After closing the browse form, the focus goes to the next textbox control (and exactly this I want to prevent). The user can click the button next to textbox to choose a value (the browser form appears), but in this case, after closing the form, the focus remains on the textbox control, because before clicking the button, the focus was on it.
So, my question: how can I disable the LostFocus event? Ok, I figured it out: I must use the validating event. It works. But in this case, if I close the form, the event fires up. How can I disable this?
I have a class library in which i have created a simple new application with a form and added AX webbrowser control on it. In order to apply events on popup of webapplication shown in webbrowser (or to detect whether a pop-up has opend), i am using LostFocus event on webbrowser control, it was working fine till now.But after i reset my IE settings (Internet options->Advance->Reset) the event stopped working. I am using IE9 and the class library is developed in VB.NET (VS 2010).

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.

I have a database with a simple flyweight table referenced by another table. Let's call them, respectively, Category and Product.The Product table has several columns, one of which is a foreign key column (complete with constraint) to the CategoryID to a row of the Category table. It's simple, and I have many of them in this particular database.
I am using Linq in Visual Studio 2008 to represent this data in my application. Both tables appear as normal, and neither have anything special in their properties that would indicate the behaviour I'll describe.In the database itself, there are several Product rows which have CategoryID=1. There are two or three that have CategoryID=2. However, when the data is loaded into my application through Linq, iterating through context.Products shows that the first three have CategoryID=1, CategoryID=2 and CategoryID=3, and all the rest of the rows have CategoryID=NULL. This is not how it appears in the database. There are no other anomalies in this database.
I just got Windows 7, so I re-installed VB 2008 Express and have been met with some weird issues. One of which is when my program is running it used to break on a line where an error was occurring and tell what it was and let me fix it and continue. So I can see the error in the Immediate window but why is it not breaking on the line? It just continues loading the program. Is there a setting I'm missing?

I have two richtextboxes, richtextbox1 and richtextbox2 on top of richtextbox1 with richtextbox2.visible = false on form load. Whatever is input in richtextbox1 is placed in an array when rictextbox1 loses focus. Now I have a checkbox that when enabled, hides richtextbox1 and shows richtextbox2. On the first time richtextbox2 is shown, i want it to display the contents of richtextbox1. This is achieved by setting a boolean flag (firsttime=true) on form load, then in the checkbox code if firsttime = true, it displays content of richtextbox1 and sets firsttime to false.

Have a project which, in one place, has a form with a number of textboxes on it to receive user input. My intention is that, when user tabs out of one box into the next in the sequence, a checking subroutine is called via the textbox.lostfocus event. When I run the app, which this procedure is called by tabbing out of, say, txtTitle without entering any data, I get the Msgbox message, but it refers to the next textbox (txtFName).
It would appear that the focus moves into the next textbox before the lostfocus event is dealt with. Consequently, when the Msgbox opens, it takes the focus away from the next textbox and fires its lostfocus even, which is processed. OK-ing the warning here causes the initial lostfocus event to be processed and the Msgbox shows again. Exiting the sub for the second time leaves the focus in the second textbox. If I then use the mouse to move the focus back to the first box, I fire yet another lostfocus event for the second textbox, etc, etc
How can I trap the lostfocus event and deal with it BEFORE the focus moves into a subsequent control?

I have some richtextboxes which display contents of a jagged array. When the RTB loses focus, contents of the RTB are placed in the array (so new entries in rtb are updated in the array). This works OK with moderate numbers (for example jagged array of type (200)(){}) but in a situation where the array is (1500)(){} the rtb takes approx 3-4 seconds to reload when it loses focus. I was thinking of eliminating some lostfocus of triggering with this logic
On RTB LostFocus
If 'nothing was changed in the RTB' Then
Return

Nothing was changed in the RTB means that the user Focused in the RTB, scrolled around, but did not change the content in any way. How would I achieve that codewise? In addition, is there a better way to keep the RTB updated with it's corresponding jagged array from LostFocus?
So I have a LostFocus handler for my TextBox, and it gets called whenever I press "m", "o", or "-". Why is that? [Code] Is all that's there. I thought that I might have access keys or something interfering, but I would have to be pressing Alt, "-" wouldn't work, and there's also the fact that I have no access keys on the form. What's happening?

View 2 RepliesI have a TextBox in a Windows Forms application in VB 2008 (.NET 3.5) where a user can key an estimate amount. I am allowing them to key dollars and cents, and I want to round to the nearest dollar. The original code had the rounding down when the data was written back to a table, and that worked fine - I have this code in a "Save" routine that fires when the user moves to a different screen or record:
Dim est As Decimal : Decimal.TryParse(txtEstimateAmount.Text.Trim, est)
Dim estimatedAmount As Integer = Math.Round(est)
I decided that it might be nice to actually do the rounding as soon as they leave the field instead, so they're not surprised when they reload the screen and find that 1822.60 is now 1823. So I took the exact same code and added it to the TextBox.Leave event handler. And the weirdest thing happened: instead of the variable est being populated with 1822.60 after the parse, it gets set to -1! What the...?
Debugging the handler shows that the value goes into the parser correctly, and if I do the parsing manually via the Immediate window, it parses correctly, but when I let the code do it, it invariably gets set to -1. What's even weirder is that any number gets parsed as -1, not just decimals, and any non-number gets parsed as 0 (which is correct).
Has anybody else ever run into this before? I tried moving the code to the TextBox.LostFocus event instead, but with the same results. I have no idea what in the heck is going on, and obviously there are workarounds galore for this, but it just makes no sense whatsoever.
EDIT: Here's the full event handler (current behavior for which is to put -1 in the TextBox):
Private Sub txtEstimateAmount_Leave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtEstimateAmount.Leave
' Take any dollars-and-cents amount and round to the nearest dollar
Dim est As Decimal

I've read you should use the "Leave" event instead of "Lostfocus" for your code. But if you put something like this inthe leave event,Me.TextBox2.Select()The Leave event fires twiceBut if you put that code in the LostFocus event it only fire once. Is it ok to use the LostFocus or should I add additional code to handle the Leave event firing twice?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to validate a few things in a form I'm building. It has a datagrid with clients info (taken from an access database) and a few textboxes where the user can type some search criteria. The thing is that those same textboxes are used to add new clients to the database and to modify a client's information if one from the datagrid is selected, so I made it that the buttons to insert and modify clients are disabled on load and thenevery time the text on a textbox changes ("TextChanged" event) they become enabled. So far so good. But then I wanted to make it so when a client from the datagrid is selected both buttons become disabled again until the text on a textbox changes (to make sure they're adding a different client and not the same one that was
selected).
I tried using the CellClick event from the datagrid to disable the buttons, but since every time a client is selected from the datagrid the info is shown on the textboxes, this triggers the TextChanged event too, and the buttons become available.So, is there a way I can tell the TextChanged event not to be triggered when the CellClick event occurs?

Eg. ""vb.net" timer event trigger on purpose". This application is meant to run at all times to download a web page every minute. To avoid freezing the UI, I read that the best solution is to move the code from a While/Sleep loop to a Timer that will be triggered every minute. The problem I have, is that the user must wait for a minute before the event is triggered:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Timer1.Interval = 60000
Timer1.Enabled = True

Is it possible to force this event to occur instead of waiting for it?
