Can An App Detect Cursor Giving Focus To Another App's Text Field
Jun 25, 2011
I am working on a carputer app, and it will be relatively basic with common tools. I am going to make an onscreen keyboard that fits the style of my app, but I want to make it a seperate application from the main app. All I want it to do is is have my keyboard become visible whenever I enter a text field of any application, whether it be programmed by me or a third-party app. Think about this in the way of a smart phone... Whenever you enter a textfield the system keyboard is displayed.

I'm working on this project, and when the form loads it should automatically put the Focus on the username field if it is empty, however if there is a username - put the focus on where you write your message.Below is the code, and it simply doesn't seem to work for whatever reason. I have tried several methods of it, and even commented out every other line of code in the application to make sure there was no interference, and there was none. is there anything that could possibly overwrite the ability to do this? Some setting I need to change? etc etc?
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtUser.Text) Then
txtUser.Focus()
Else
[code].....

I am entering a values into another textbox and I want it to surrender Focus to another textbox if the value I have entered is the same as the one in the database.However what is happening is that if the value is the same as in the database the cursor just disappears and it does not give focus to the control that I want it to give focus to. Any ideas on how I can correct this.
Private Sub txtProducedAt_TextChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtProducedAt.TextChanged
Dim iSql As String = "SELECT ID,SiteName FROM Sites WHERE SiteName = '" & txtProducedAt.Text & "' "
Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(iSql, LoginForm1.Conn)
Dim dTable As DataTable = New DataTable
da.Fill(dTable)
If dTable.Rows.Count = 0 Then
Exit Sub
ElseIf dTable.Rows.Count > 0 Then
txtProducedAt.Text = dTable.Rows(0)("SiteName").ToString
txtAccountNumber.Select()
End If
End Sub
I've tried putting code into the tabindex changed event but its not doing what i want and also in the lostfocus event
Private Sub txtProducedAt_TabIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtProducedAt.TabIndexChanged
Dim iSql As String = "SELECT ID,SiteName FROM Sites WHERE SiteName = '" & txtProducedAt.Text & "' "
Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(iSql, LoginForm1.Conn)
Dim dTable As DataTable = New DataTable
da.Fill(dTable)
If dTable.Rows.Count = 0 Then
Exit Sub
ElseIf dTable.Rows.Count > 0 Then
txtAccountNumber.Focus()
End If
End Sub

I have a text box where i am entering numbers of double datatype andon the Keytdown event of the textbox some checks take pace and in certain circumstances I want to be able to stop the user from entering other information until they enter the right information in the textbox (where it says right here) . now when I say exit sub the textbox somehow loses focus . but this is not how I want it to be I want the textbox to remain with the focus so the user can change the information . How can i go about this.
And the other thing is why is my txtDestPayRate1.Focus() just befor the exit sub not working? because I am giving focus to it so whats happening or rather why is it not happening Is there a way other than exit sub to tell it to stop executing on that line and do other stuff
Private Sub txtDestPayRate1_KeyDown1(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtDestPayRate1.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then

With two of my forms, which present empty text boxes, I execute a statement of the form frmAdd.txtBox.Focus(). This places a blinking insert bar at the begining of an upper left text box, which is what I want. For a third form, in which the text boxes are filled in, the statement frmChange.txtBox.Focus() not only sets the insert bar, but also blocks the entire text; any inadvertent keystroke could delete the whole text, which is NOT what I want.How can I place the focus on the text box without pre-selecting the whole field?

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 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.

currently I have a Customer Master screen. Inside the screen, I have a button which call the Customer sub window.
When I call the sub window, I want the set the cursor at Textbox1.
The problem is, when I call the window for 1st time, the cursor stops at Textbox1. When I call the window for 2nd or 3rd time, the cursor stops at other textbox or buttons inside the sub window.
Seems like Textbox1.focus is not working.
'***************Calling sub window from main screen**********

I have a couple of TextBoxes on a Form and also a RichTextBox control which is associated with a ContextMenu1. Now, while my MouseCursor still blinks friendly in one of my TextBox controls, I right-click the RichTextBox and get surely my ContextMenu1. However, this ContextMenu won't do me any good unless I first left-click my RichTextBox in order to set my cursor in there and then right-click again to open the ContextMenu. I've tried to work with RichTextBox.Focus() and also with something like ... If
e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then ...
But nothing seems to do the trick.

I'm using a custom webbrowser to display a special intranet for my company.I need to be able to display a custom keyboard whenever the user can type in the webbrowser. So if they click on a textbox within the page to type, this custom keyboard appears.when the user is in 'typing mode'. I thought maybe checking when the cursor changes to 'ibeam' which is the typing cursor? How might I do that, or is there an easier way?

My application has a form which contains several Textboxes where user is required to fill up data. Once data is filled up user can click on "Save" button to save the data. I have added lost focus events to all textboxes so as to validate user input. When I click on cancel button, i want to detect cancel button click, but textbox lost focus is fired first so I get error message for textbox before my code moves to cancel button click handler. Is there any way to detect button click before lost focus event?

I am relatively new to VB but have written a few VBA applications.I want to write a context menu item for Firefox that allows the user to right mouse on a field that is being displayed and take some action.Is it possible to identify the field the cursor is on and pass the entire value to the vb program? If so which namespace should I be searching for methods? Can this be done without selecting the field's contents or does the user have to select the field?

I have a question about event handling. Is it possible to detect field level data change in vb.net? i don't want my codes to be dependent on the the bound control's event to detect the change on the field value. I'm thinking there must be a better way (coming from a Delphi background). For example: a change on the Qty field will automatically trigger the event to compute the invoice detail Amount - (pseudo-case sample: Amount = Qty * UnitPrice).
In Delphi, every field is treated as an object with its own properties and events. So it's very easy to associate an event with it.
Example:
procedure TfrmInvoice.qryInvDetQtyChange(Sender: TField);
begin
inherited;
qryInvDetAmount.value := qryInvDetQty.AsInteger * qryInvDetUnitPrice.AsCurrency;
end;
How can I achieve the same using vb.net?

If
strOperand = "/" Then
intLast = intFirst / Val(
Me.TextBox1.Text)
I'm not getting a remainder like I would have hoped. I'm new and I'm sorry for the lack of intelligence on the subject. To my understanding the Val( function will convert the string to a number, but when I divide it gives me a single number instead of an integer.

im working on a little app for my self, to make my life a little more convenient. I have some media keys on my laptop, and I would like to use them with itunes while it is minimized. I found a app that did it for me a long time ago, but cant seem to find it now. But I would like to try my hand at my own, and I've managed to do so, but, my app has to be in focus for it to work. is there any way to still detect when these media keys are pressed while my app is out of focus?

I've been doing some more experiments and have summarized the query as below: I've created the simplest application. A project with a plain form, which writes text file within its application directory. Simple as that.Supposing this was my application which I want to distribute on the world web. I've created a basic installer for this using NSIS installer. The Installer installs my application in a folder created inside Program Files. The OS is Windows7 and UAC is enabled.Now I know many people have been facing difficulties in accessing files inside the Program Files folder. My app is simply creating a plain text file, nothing more, and within its own application directory. It is giving Access Denied error. But if I right-click on the EXE and run it as Administrator, then it works ok.The only solution thats available is not to write in the application folder, and write text file in some other folder which is not protected. My question is that other programs that are installed on my system are also doing it. I have a temperature monitoring software called SpeedFan on my system, it creates log files within its app directory. All other softwares create log files within their app directories, why cant I?I just have to make a small log file for my application and Win7+UAC is not letting me do it. I don't want to write the small file in any other folder. How are the other softwares accomplishing this ?
