Added A Gotfocus And Lostfocus Handler For All Of My Textboxes?
Sep 22, 2008
I just added a gotfocus and lostfocus handler for all of my textboxes. Below is my routines to call on gotfocus/lostfocus.
[Code]...
Now, my issue is that this works great if you use the mouse and click around in the textboxes. However, if you hit the TAB key to move around on the screen, the LostFocus event doesn't seem to work. All of my textboxes backcolor remains lightblue. What did I do wrong? What do I need to do to fix this problem?
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?
How do I add an event Handler to a control, for example a textbox, to handle any keypress event?cause I want this textbox(which is added in program runtime) to only accept any convert any small letter to Upper case.
i am wanting to add handler for controls i add at Page_load at page load i added several image buttons and applied the image urls using -i used the borderwidth propertiy for padding as was having trouble getting a cssclass to work. [code] what i want these Image button to do is when clicked a larger image in another panel will appear so i will need to assign the clicked buttons image url to the large image controls, image url
I am using VB2010 Express to create a Windows Form.
I have been able to add an event handler to a single textbox to respond to the ".Leave" action.
Now I want to take multiple textboxes and use them as a single control and use the same event handler.
Eg. If TextBox1, TextBox2 and TextBox3 are grouped as a single control nothing would happen in those boxes until focus went to any other control on the form.
I've a problem with accessing to values of added TextBoxes. I'm adding TextBoxes in my application using NumericUpDown control (event of NumericUpDown1_ValueChanged). It' s value is 1 to 10 and by each step it adds 2 new TextBoxes (named TBC11i and TBC12i, i=1-10). I've created a second event (ButtonClick) where I want to use their values in a For Loop named like this:
I am trying to do an application where several textboxes and buttons will be added to a groupbox.
for example..
code:
I might have anywhere between 1 and 20 rows of these textboxes and buttons. I can add buttons on from.. but how would i add the textboxes or buttons to the say Procedure for MyButton_Click... Handles MyButton_1.click, MyButton_2.click
I use to be a VB6 developer before migrating to .NET.
I am looking for a way to do something (as in, call a procedure) whenever a textbox gets focus in ASP.NET but I couldn't find my way out. I am using VB.NET.
I am looking for a way to tell when a tab has taken focus. I tried the gotfocus call but it doesn't seem to get called when I click on the tab. Did a quick search on google but can't seem to find the answer.
I have a mdi and 3 child windows.The program start with an empty mdi.With a menu you can open each child window once.When i open for example 2 windows. And close the one on top. The one left(the window under the one i closed) should get focus. How can i manage this?
why i need this?each childwindow has a event gotFocus. Depending on the focus my menu should change.
Private Sub frmMain_gotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.GotFocus
I can't seem to get the Form.GotFocus event to fire.I have two forms - a main window and a debug window.The debug window will always be shown with the main window. But, I don't want the debug window to appear in the task bar - it's unnecessary.While my program is running, when I select another program, my main window and the debug window are placed behind the program that I selected. From the task bar, I can bring my program back to the front by clicking on it in the task bar. The problem is, that now my debug window is behind the other program.I have code that will "DebugWindow.BringToFront", and it works. But I need some way to run do this when the main form gets the focus.I do not wish to make any of my forms Modal. At least not permanently. If the solution is to change the modal property of the form temporarily, then that wouldn't be a problem.
I tried Me.Enter, Me.Activated, Me.Click and a few other events. Me.Click only works when I click within the Form window, not the form's title bar. Me.Activated caused problems - The code ran, but it would always end with the focus on the Debug window. When I tried to click on the main form, the Activated event would fire again, sending the focus back to the debug window.[code]
In vb.net I would like to set all numericUpDown (NUD) controls to select their value when they receive focus, like a text box does. Do I need to write a GotFocus handler for each NUD? I know I can use widthBox.Select(0, widthBox.ToString().Length) to do the selection I just need to be able to apply this to all NUD GotFocus events.
I know that with the Command Button, you can utilize the PerformClick option. I would like to know how you would go about doing something similar for a Combobox.What I am looking to do is open the Combobox within the GotFocus method.
I have two web browser controls on my form. I also have several buttons like bold, underline, etc. My probem is the gotfocus of the web control is not working correctly. If I click on the web browser control to add text the gotfocus is not fired. If I click on a text box first and then click in the browser control it is fired. I need to know which has focused so the bold etc know which control to work on.
The problem is that the method is getting called multiple times when the text box control gains focus. I am looking for it to just run once since the method is filling the text box control with data. Is there a common reason this happens? Its not looping cause it is happening on everyone of my controls that use the GotFocus method.
I want to assign a string value to a variable in the DataGridView LostFocus event. I found that I can't just do variable = "string value, it will give me the "Unable to cast object of type 'system.eventargs' to type 'system.windows.forms.datagridviewcelleventargs'" error.
The function created by double-clicking on the datagridview is:
Private Sub DataGridViewInvoice_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridViewInvoice.LostFocus
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?
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?
I have a program that adds controls on the fly to an auto-scroll panel. When the panel is scrolled (viewing the bottom of the panel for example) and a control is added, it looks like it is added assuming the top left corner of the panel is still at 0,0 when in fact it may be 0,500. To see what I am talking about, create an empty "Windows Forms Application" project and insert the below code into it.
Friend WithEvents Panel1 As System.Windows.Forms.Panel Friend WithEvents btnAdd As System.Windows.Forms.Button Dim ButtonCount As Integer
the 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).
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
[code]....
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?
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.
Background: I have a winForm app that registers a user in the database based on the information provided, auto-generates a random password and username, and e-mails the user a link to take an application based on the marketing company selected.
Problem:
When the user selects the lbCarrier(s), the Bundles don't show up in the listbox b/c the lostfocus feature doesn't work for asp.net. What code can I use to auto-populate the Bundles listbox based on what is selected in lbCarrier listbox for ASP.NET.
Code from default.aspx.vb:
Private Sub lbCarriers_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lbCarriers.LostFocus Dim splt() As String
i have multiple forms in a project and all have statusbar. there is no way to add textbox on status bar but in my previous thread i got the help to add the text box. i created a function in module so that i call that function from all the forms on load and add the textbox on status bar and also add the event on textchange. the function to be called on event change is in individual form (at present)[code]
