I am having some bizarre issues with getting focus on the child objects of some user controls that I am developing.The base control, DatePanel, consist of three radio buttons, a textbox, a combobox, and a datetimepicker.Depending on which radio button is selected depends on which of the other controls are visible.The default state of the control has the textbox and combobox visible.When I test the control in the VS test container, I click in the textbox, the cursor appears but I cannot type, if I click in the textbox again then I can type.I have tested enough to figure out that if I click on any other control and then click on the textbox I can type.I have tried adding a gotfocus event for the user control to both Focus and Select the textbox and neither does anything.This user control is on several other user controls that are in development because I didn't catch the behave at the beginning.To make things a little stranger in one of the other controls, I found that if I set the tabindex of DatePanel A to 0 then I was able to type in the textbox after selecting it the first time, however if instead I click in the textbox of DatePanel B the cursor appears in that textbox but when I type the text appears in the textbox in DatePanel.
In terms of code on the DatePanel there are 6 properties and 3 events.The 6 properties return values of the fields on the DatePanel and the three events are for watching the state of the radio buttons.Other than that I did try adding the GotFocus event to no avail.I can provide any code that is needed but between myself and my colleagues we couldn't see anything that would have any influence over the control focus.
I am using Nplot at the moment, all is fine and well but I am trying to capture the co ordinates of where the user clicks on the graph.I can see the co ordinates when i float over the graph, but i cant seem to find the class which shows the co ordinate in a little tooltip by the mouse cursor.
I have one user that is having a problem with my application, the error report shows an event type of clr203r and an index out of range exception. From what I've read this seems to have "something" to do with arrays or lists. (What that something is, so far, is beyond me or anything I've researched). I do have one array in my program -- myarray(13) as byte and I do have the syntax right as far as noting 20 elements in it. in my other bits of code.
I'm reading those bytes in the serial port, deciphering them and performing some actions. (to be vague). But just with what I've said, can anyone point me to a possible problem? Is the index out of range exception ALWAYS concerned with just arrays or lists? Or could it be something else?
I have a DataGridView1 where I have 6 columns and 0 rows (they are added additionaly in the application) and also have a TextBox1. How can I calculate all data from the second column to the TextBox1? For example, I'll run the application and add rows, where the text in the second column will be: (4, 8, 9, 1)... it means 4 rows...
So how can I make the value of those numbers (22) show in the TextBox1, so that it will calculate the numbers and show the sum in the TextBox1?
There are 3 textboxes->textbox1,textbox2,textbox3 and 1 button.In textbox1 bname will be stored and in textbox2 aname is stored.Bname and aname are columns of databasetable.This are not unique.There are same bnames and anames records.What I am trying to do is:when the user clicks on button then the code should match textbox1 and textbox2 with the databasetable and get the count of rows that match this data. And print the count in the textbox3.If there is no similar bname and aname in the table then the count should show 0.I tried doing this but am pretty sure that its not right as its not working.

how to keep the cursor out of a Textbox? The Textbox is read only and no tabstop. Still when i run the app, if you click on the Textbox the cursor is there and i dont want it.
I have a string that will be of varying lengths. I want to display this string in a textbox so scroll bars will appear if the string is larger than the size of the text box. This info is read only - I don't want to give the user any input with it.I still see a cursor and my string highlighted even with the ReadOnly set to true.Is there any way to disable the cursor altogether in a textbox so nothing is highlighted?Maybe I'm not using the best control for this, but I don't want to use a label.I generate this textbox at run time, if that matters at all.
I have a form which uses many TextBox's. TextBox1 through TextBox3 are already working the way I need them to. The other 123 I am having a small issue with. Basically, I need to detect which TextBox (4-85) the cursor is in, since a change in that box will modify some or many of the other boxes.
If I use something like TextBox4.Text.Changed, I will get caught in a massive loop, since a change in TextBox4 will alter the contents of TextBox36 and TextBox44. A Change in TextBox36 will alter TextBox4,5,6,7 and 44, and a change in TextBox44 will alter TextBox4-43.
The second set of TextBox's (45-85) act the same way. The last group of TextBoxes (86-126) are calculations based on the other 2 sets and are not user adjustable.
I am new to Visual Basic and i am using VS 2008. I have a form with multiple (7) text boxes. What i would like to accomplish is basically, when i click on textbox 1 a predefined message would load to label1 and when i click on textbox2 label1 would now displays a different pre-defined message and etc... I've tried using the "focus" parameter of the textbox but it doesn't work. So i am thinking of using the cursor as a way to solve my problem but i don't know how to work with it. I found a very similar thread titled " Detect when the cursor is in a textbox/typing in webbrowser?" on this forum but i don't think it applies to my situation.
How can I set the Curor to be inside a TextBox as soon as it is created or relocated?
I dont want the user to have to click the TextBox to get the Cursor inside, the Cursor must allready be inside the TextBox ready to reseve text from the user.[url]...

I am checking if one of the function keys is pressed in the KeyDown event of a TextBox using the following If e.KeyCode >= Keys.F1 And e.KeyCode <= Keys.F12 Then 'do something here End If This works fine, except when I press F10 the cursor in the textbox freezes (ie. stops blinking) & doesn't free up until another key is pressed. Does Windows use this key for some other functionality that causes this behavior?
I am trying to insert a character at the end of a textbox string. The character gets inserted ok but the cursor moves to the beginning at the text. Is there someting I am doing to cause this.
if I click on the SearchSearch Textbox, I want the highlight to be on the Search Button and not on save without using AcceptButton or any TabIndexing so if whenever i press ENTER and the 'I' cursor is on the SearchSearch Textbox, the search button will be triggered.
Javascript: function getFocus(textboxName,e) { document.getElementByIdSearchSearch(textboxName).focus(); }
[Code]....
before i made the Search button on focus whenrver i click on the Search textbox. so what happens is everytime i click on the textbox it instantly focuses on the Search button making me unable to type anything. I tried also making a Panel for the Search textbox and button having a DefaultButton but it doesnt highlights the Search Button
I need the cursor to appear in my text box when the program is started so you don't have to click on the box to start the input. I have been trying tons of different things, including the .focus() command and "selstart" and no matter where I put them, they don't put the cursor there when the program is started. So I guess my question is what code do I use and where do I put it so that the cursor starts in the textbox for input.
i am here with another problem also relating with tab .now i had 15 textboxes in my form ,when i press tab on form it simply jumps from 1st textbox to 9th textbox .
i hv a "clear" btn on my form. so as soon as i click-->clear, data in all the texboxes(30 in no.) should be cleared + THE CURSOR SHOULD BE IN THE FIRST TEXTBOX. iam done with clearing the texboxes but UNABLE TO PUT THE CURSOR IN THE FIRST TEXTBOX. how can i put the cursor in the first textbox after clearing all the texboxes?
I Would like to position the cursor in a text box using X,Y coordinates with X being the line number and Y being the column number. Is there any way to determine the line and column numbers of a textbox that is full of text. Using the .selectionstart paramenter only lets you position the cursor a certain distance from the beginning of text but there is no line information that I know of. By the way, I not an expert at VB so bear with me if these questions seem kind of basic.
