I have a textbox, a standard button and a toolstrip containing a couple of buttons. In the validating event of the textbox i coded to check whether it is blank. If yes then it shows a message 'Enter Value'. When the standard button is clicked while the textbox is empty, it's validating properly and showing the message but when the toolstripbutton is clicked it's not not validating the textbox and no message is being shown. It seems that I gotto write the validation code explicitly in the toolstripbutton_click event which is too troublesome when there are multiple textboxes and toolstripbuttons on a single form. What I want to know is whether the textbox_validating can be fired while the toolstripbutton is clicked? Handling toolstrips is really a headache. I'm badly in need of it.

I'm writing a part of an application for a movie ticket program.
Basically, I have to write an If statement verifying the age put in a textbox, based on a radiobox that is checked.
So, if the radiobox "PG" is checked, the age in the textbox has to be equal to or greater than 12. If "Restricted" is checked, then the textbox has to be equal to or great than 17.
I have a page where a user can either select a vendor via dropdown or enter a vendor number via textbox. One or the other must have a value. I can do this in javascript easily but how can I do this using a custom validator provided by ajax all on the client side?
Edited:
Protected Sub ImageButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles ImageButton1.Click If Page.IsValid Then //save stuff End If
I have a MDIParent form and 2 child forms. One of them,form1, has a textbox for which certain validations are present in the validating event. The other one has a button on it. When I try to navigate from form1 to form2, the validating event is firing twice for the first time. Is there a way to make it fire only once. And also, this event fires whenever I try to close the mdi parent form Attached is a sample project.
I am trying to validate a string that has been inputted into a text box to make sure there is nothing but alphabetical charecters in the textbox. The following code only checks the first character in the textbox...
If Char.IsLetter(textbox1.Text) = False Then MsgBox("Error! Invalid charecters present") Exit Sub End If
I was wondering if there was any way that i could turn this into some sort of loop so that it checks all of the charecters present within the textbox?
I'm a beginner using VS2010 Express. Using a windows form, I'd like to be able to validate a textbox against a column of data in an existing SQL table when the user selects a submit button. To my surprise, a google search revealed very little-- a few instructions using C#, but I'd really like to continue learning VB (only background is with VBA).
I have a textbox control to take some input and a button to execute something. I want the button's click event will not work as long the validation to the textbox is successful.
Private Sub txtSuffix_validate(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles txtSuffix.Validating If Not txtSuffix.Text = "" Then
[code] how can I also allow a decimal point, and also it will not let me Exit the program unless there is something in the textbox, I have looked around and have seen a few different codes but they seemed kind of complicated.
I would like to know if there is a simple way to validate an e-mail address? I have seen many ways that appear to use functions but I would like to use something simple because currently my error control is done like this:
If txtEmail.Text = "" Then ErrorProvider1.SetError(txtEmail, "You must enter your e-mail address.") Else ErrorProvider1.SetError(txtEmail, "")
Is there a way to use the same type of syntax but instead of checking if the textbox is empty, check if it a valid e-mail address? I know the regular expressions can be used, but how in this circumstance?
In WinForms I could handle the Validated event to do something after the user changed text in a TextBox. Unlike TextChanged, Validated didn't fire for every character change; it only fired when the user was done.Is there anything in WPF I can use to get the same result, an event raised only after the user is done changing the text?
I have an ASP.Net 2.0 textbox which I need to be validated as having some content, but where whitespace alone is valid input. A required field validator seems to reject a pure whitespace input as invalid. A regular expression validator won't fire at all on empty content. Is there a simpler way round this than using a custom validator control?
All I want to accomplish is require an extry on a textbox, and raise an error.When I run, it forces me to put something in the textbox. Not sure why, because this code never gets executed in the program when I go in debug. This is on my top 10 worst days of work in my life. Trying to learn VB.NET, like 27,000,000 other people out there.[code]
how to validate and save the results of a textbox when I change to another tab on a tabcontrol?I have found the SelectedIndexChanged and LostFocus but they do not tell what was the tab that has been previously selected, so I then can do that validation and save. is there an event that triggers before the SelectedIndexChanged?
I'm trying to validate the correct format for a phone number in a text box: (000) 000-0000 For a test, i made it so that a messagebox shows up saying "correct" if the format is correct. This test works well WHEN the format is correct. BUT when the format IS NOT correct, I keep getting an error saying that the index was out of the array.
I have form with ComboBox and TextBox. ComboBox has values A, B. And I would like to validate TextBox. If user select A so TextBox need to check for numeric and amount of numbers can't exceed 10 characters. If will entered not numeric characters error will indicated. If user select B so TextBox will check for string and user can enter any characters. Only if box is empty error will indicated.
I frequently use TextBoxes that expect date values. I do a tedious job every time to handle the Validating event. The Validation event ensures that the value is a valid date value according to the current thread's Calendar, and if so, formats the date to "dd-MM-yyyy".
I want a TextBox (e.g. DateTextBox) that automatically runs validation and formats its Text property. All I have to do is dropping it to the form.
I know I should use inheritance; but I do not know where to put the auto-validation code; and I do not know how to save the inherited class as a control in the ToolBox.
I have a custom text box component (inherits from system.windows.forms.textbox) that I created in vb.net (2005) that handles the input of numeric data. It works well.
I would like to suppress the validating and validated events from firing if the number hasn't changed. If a user is tabbing through the form and tabs from the text box, the validating/validated events are fired.
I was thinking that the text box could cache the value and compare it to what is listed in the text property. If they are different, then I would want the validating/validate events to fire. If they are the same, nothing is fired.
I can't seem to figure out how to suppress the event. I have tried overriding the OnValidating event. That didn't work.
Update:
Here is the custom text box class. The idea is that I want to cache the value of the text box on the validate event. Once the value is cached, the next time the user tabs through the box, the validating event will check to see if the _Cache is different from the .Text. If so that is when I would like to raise the validating event to the parent form (as well as the validated event). If the _cache is the same, then I don't want to raise the event to the form. Essentially the text box will work the same as a regular text box except that the validating and validated method are only raised to the form when the text has changed.
Public Class CustomTextBox #Region "Class Level Variables" Private _FirstClickCompleted As Boolean = False 'used to indicate that all of the text should be highlighted when the user box is clicked - only when the control has had focus shifted to it
I am writing below code for validating compulsary field account no. in form.User's requirement is set focus back on field when error comes :
If txtAccountNo = "" Then MessageBox.Show("Account no filed can't be left empty") txtAccountNo.SetFocus Exit Sub End If
It's working properly. But suppose user don't want to fill form and exiting from application.Message box keep on appearing till user enters account no.
I have a toolstrip in my main form, at the bottom. The main form has menus that lead to other forms. I am trying to get a button to appear on the toolstrip each time a form opens. My button creation code works. Here is what I have so far:
Public Sub buttons() 'Each form has a Me.FormClosing and MyBase.Load event that links to this sub. ToolStrip1.Items.Clear() ToolStrip1.Items.Add(ToolStripDropDownButton1) For Each frm As Form In My.Application.OpenForms
[Code]...
I have tried using the Tag property to choose the form, but it hasn't worked.I have also tried using the My.Application.OpenForms property to open the form, but this also hasn't worked.I really don't fancy using loads of If Then Else statements to hide and show buttons that have already been created, as this seems rather messy.
If I set a image from Resources, then I am able to see it in the design mode, but it is disappeared after I run it. It shows me just empty! What is the best way to set a image for ToolStripButton?
My ToolStripButtons look flat. They are highlighted when pressed, but they don't look like buttons do. I want them to look like they're not pressed in and then press in when click with the mouse. How can I get this effect?
I am trying to draw a black border around a ToolStripButton. This is the code I am using and it only draws the border on 2 sides. Dim clrMenuBorder As Color = Color.Black Dim borderPen As New Pen(clrMenuBorder)
Dim rect1 As New Rectangle(0, 0, e.ToolStrip.Width, e.ToolStrip.Height)
I want to display a ContextMenu when a user clicks a ToolStripButton. I'm using the following code to do so, and it works great, but I want to prevent re-displaying the ContextMenu when the user clicks the ToolStripButton when the ContextMenu is already visible.
If Me.ToolFilter.Checked = False Then Me.ToolFilter.Checked = True Me.ContextFilter.Show(Me.ToolStandard, New Point(Me.ToolFilter.Bounds.X, Me.ToolFilter.Bounds.Bottom)) Me.ToolFilter.Checked = False End If
Private Sub ToolStripButton3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton3.Click Dim activeChild As Form = Me.ActiveMdiChild activeChild.Close() Try
[code].....
But condition activeChild Is Nothing is not working properly. And Status ToolStripButton stay in True value. How can I setting change status ToolStripButton after all MDI child is closed?
Is there any way to set an ToolStripButton as an CancelButton for the form.One way i know is of capturing the Esc Key and performing button click, is there an direct wasy to link the button as the CancelButton
I'm making an MDI child window switcher (to set focus on selected child) sort of in a windows-style taskbar at the bottom of the program. I've got things set up so that when a child window is opened, a toolstripbutton is created and added onto the toolstrip and contains the window number and window type (what the window does). All that runs very well, but when I want to close a child form, I need to dispose the button that corresponded to it. I tried something like this:
For Each C As Control In frmClient.Controls If TypeOf C Is ToolStrip Then For Each tButton As ToolStripButton In C.Controls
[Code]....
But nothing happens at all. Is there a practical method to do this or am I missing something?
I have an editable datagridview that's been databound with dataadapter and datatable, and a normal button on a form. When i edit the dgv's cells and click the save button it fires the datagridview_cellvalidating event and if the cell validation is correct it updates and saves the current record to the datasource. Also, before save it commits change in any cell under editing. But when I use a toolstripbutton to do the same work, though it saves the dgv records but doesn't update the current change i.e. it saves the old records that are being fetched when the dgv was populated first during form load. Also, clicking the toolstripbutton doesn't fire datagridview_cellvalidating, datagridview_rowvalidating etc events. What it seems to be is it's not committing the change in any cell under editing. [Code]
Why isn't it happening and how can I make it work? how can I fire datagridview_ cellvalidating, datagridview_rowvalidating and other events; and commit cell value change by clicking toolstripbutton.
