I'm designing a Windows Forms Application, and there is a dialog that should NOT exit when the enter key is pressed, instead it has to validate data first, in case enter was pressed after changing the text of a ComboBox. I've tried by telling it what to do on KeyPress event of the ComboBox if e is the Enter key:
[Code]...
But no success so far. When the Enter key is pressed, even with the ComboBox on focus, the whole dialog is closed, returning to the previous form. The validation is NOT done at all, and it has to be done before exiting. In fact, I don't even want to exit on the form's enter KeyPress, the only purpose of the enter key on the whole dialog is to validate the ComboBox (but only when in focus, for the sake of an intuitive UI). I've also tried appending the validation to the KeyPress event of the whole dialog's form, if the key is Enter. NO SUCCESS! It's like my code wasn't there at all.
I know the answer to this is out there somewhere, but my Google isn't being much help on this one. I am trying to make my combobox run an event when the enter key is pressed. Here is my code.
Private Sub CmbQuery_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles CmbQuery.KeyPress If e.KeyChar = Chr(13) Then SearchEvent() End If End Sub
I'm creating a request form for a company. Having problems in adding new row when a user press enter. Is it possible to add row when a user pressed enter using TableLayoutPanel. I also used text box in each cell to get input, and display output.
The image below shows a part of my Login form . The program works fine and I am able to login when I press the Enter Button. But I want to Login when I press My Enter Button (Return Button) on my Keyboard. How can I do this ?
I implemented a DateTimePicker in my program which has the basic function of renewing data when a date is selected and "Enter" is pressed. Apparently every time Enter is pressed a "beep" sound is played.
Is there a possibility to disable this sound? (Pressing Enter while the DTP is focused is important hence I use it to start the function.)
I'm creating a web browser and I was wondering how I could make a button click cause the enter key to be pressed after without having to do it yourself on the keyboard.
Private Sub Button6_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button6.Click End Sub
Visual studio nicely provides built-in auto-complete functionality for text boxes and combo boxes. I am using the suggest method of auto complete that provides the user with a list of choices filteres by what they have type. The problem I am having is that when the user makes a selection (via the mouse) VS places the selected text into the textbox and also simulates the enter key being pressed on the textbox.In my program the enter keyup event is used to send the text entered in the text box to the a COM port. In order for this to work as desired the user must be able to select an auto-complete option and then add to it so that they can change settings.Is it possible to stop it from triggering that event or to intercept it? I am unsure if it is possible or how to determine the origin of a keypress.
Here is the code for the KeyUp even as well as for the KeyPress Event:
Private Sub txtInput_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtInput.KeyPress If e.KeyChar = Chr(13) Then e.Handled = True End If
[code]....
The auto-complete functionality was accomplished through the properties of the control, the only code for that was to generate the auto-complete list.
I'm building a Dialog in Winforms. It's got the two OK and Cancel buttons that are there when you create it, which is what I want. In this dialog I also have a TextBox and a Sub (coding in VB.NET) that handles its KeyPress event. I need stuff to happen when the 'Enter' key is pressed. Now, I've done such KeyPress handling times and times again. This situation, however, is different, because as soon as 'Enter' key is pressed, the dialog automatically assumes you're pressing the 'OK' button, returns a result and closes.
In both the Designer and the actual form when running the application, the OK button is highlight, which means is has some kind of a focus (for the lack of a better term) at all times. How can I disable this feature of a dialog? When I debug my code, pressing enter does not even get to the sub handling the KeyPress event. It simply closes the dialog and returns the result, therefore I can't really step through the code and see what happens behind the scenes. To restate the question, how can I disable this functionality?
I've built a dialogbox with a RichTextBox and I'd like to have the following behaviour:
I've got the focus (cursor) in the RichTextBox. When the ENTER key is pressed, then there should be a new line in the rich edit control created. The ENTER should NOT close the dialog box [as it does now :-( ].
I have a datagridview filled with some values (not from database). If i change value in cell and press key "Enter" i need to get row index of edited cell. Is it possible to do it? CellValueChanged is not suitable in my case.
I am using VB Express 2010.I need instructions on how to create a ComboBox dialog.I have been given bits and pieces one a time.I am seeking a website/book/manual or anthing I can read that will give me instruction on how to create a ComboBox from stratch.One instruction I receive was drag from toolbox tghe combobox on the form, then click propertybox on the left.I see not propertybox on the left of anything.Even if I found a propertybox on the left, THEN WHAT.Then instruction on do same with label.What is a Label?Is there anyone reading this email understand what I am requesting. A manual/Website or any thing that will give me exact instruction on what I am suppose to do to accomplished this task.Please do not send me a site that will tell me to CLICK on Combobox in the toolbox.After that how do I insert the information that I wish the combobox to have.Anyone out there that understand what I am seeking. A Book/Website that will give me complete instructions (from scratch) for a beginner not a one liner instruction.Is there a book on VB Express 2010 that I can purchase.
I have to create a Dialog box to get the user's selection. I can use the InputBox to get text but if it is able to show a Dialog Box with a Combobox, user can easily select items.
I'm trying to get the 'Enter' key to behave like the tab key in a combobox control. I've placed the following code in the keypress event: If e.KeyChar = ToChar(Keys.Enter) Then NextTextBox.Focus()End If When ran, nothing happens. I've placed a break point at the 'private sub' line, and the code is not breaking. What am I doing wrong?
1. I type the first letter of the username i want in the combobox text area, the combobox drops down and shows me all the usernames starting with that letter. I scroll down to the name i want (as i scroll down, the text area holds each name but the SelectedIndexChanged event does not fire each time), then hit the Tab key, the SIC event fires and i get the result i want.
2. I do the same as above, but instead of hitting Tab key, i hit the Enter key. The same thing happens and i get the result i want.
3. This time, i first click on the dropdown arrow of the combobox such that it shows all usernames starting from the first name. I then type the first letter of the name i want. I saw that another drop down appeared in front of the first one and it was a smaller subset of names starting with the typed letter. I scroll down this smaller dropdown to the name i want (here also, as i scroll down, the text area holds each name, and the SIC event doesnt fire each time), then hit the Tab key, the SIC event fires and i get the result i want.
4. I do the same as #3, but this time i hit the Enter key instead of Tab key. But this time, the combobox text blanks out and the SIC event is not fired (although the name showed up just before i hit the Enter key). So i do not get any results back.
I have some subs that I use that I could make more universal if I could have a ComboBox variable so to speak. Me.ComboBoxCMFrac.SelectionStart = Me.ComboBoxCMFrac.Text.Length
For the above code is there a way to enter a variable that could be set to whatever ComboBox you wanted. I tried Dim ObjectComboBox As Object ObjectComboBox = ComboBoxCMFrac ObjectComboBox.SelectionStart = ObjectComboBox.text.length
It doesn't accept that in the editor but I'm showing you what I would like to do. If there's no way to do it fine but if there is a way I'd like to know how.
How can I set a button, so that when it is pressed, it stays in the pressed down graphic state. Then when pressed again it returns to the normal not-pressed visual.Make a button stay like this until pressed again: url....
I have a TextBox and set the MiltiLine property to true and AcceptsTab property to false.When the TextBox has focus and i press Tab it works fine and the next control get the focus, but when i press Ctrl+Tab it works as if AcceptsTab property is set to true and makes a tab character into the TextBox.The reason i press Ctrl+Tab.. when switching between forms in my MDI application.Now how to make a Ctrl+Tab when pressed works like Tab when pressed in a MultiLine TextBox?
I have a combobox on an Excel worksheet that I can tab into, then pick my data (located on another worksheet) after activating the "arrow". But the tab or enter key does not allow me to navigate away from the cell after it is populated. The only action that allows the user to move to another cell is by mouse/click to another cell. I am trying to make navigation through though worksheet as user friendly as possible.I can't seem to find any sample code that will take the focus away from that cell using Tab or Enter.
I have no problem with ListBoxes created using the Data Validation method but I have to create a ComboBox control on the active worksheet in order to return the data chosen (in this case a code that corresponds to a description). If this was a Form I wouldn't have any problem as the properties would allow me to set that up, but this is essentially a spreadsheet I've inherited and the current users do not want to go to a Data Entry Form.
I didn't think this would be a problem, but it appears that others also search for this solution. There is an annoying DING! when hitting the Enter key in a ComboBox in VB.Net so I sought solutions. Here is the solution I am working with. I created a new seperate Class within my Project...
Public Class ClasscboBox Inherits ComboBox
[CODE]...
Looks good, but I am having a problem calling it from the main project. Here is what I have tried using...
Dim objcboBox As New ClasscboBox objcboBox.OnKeyPress(KeyPressEventArgs)
However, it says thatKeyPressEventArgs is a Type and cannot be used as an Expression. I tried 'e' but no go. I am a little ahead of my classes (no pun intended) so I am likely missing something about what I am doing wrong.
I have three comboboxes so I though this would best suit my needs in the interests of writting decent code and not populating each call with repeating code.
I am Working VB.NET 08 Windows Appl.I Have Combobox and DataGridView in the Form.In the Combobx Having Names list Called "SurName".In The DataGridView on of the Column is "SurName".So when change the data on the Combobx list the dataGridView is Filtering and displaying the values correctly.For this i wrote a code in Select IndexChanged or SelectionCommitedChange Event.
But now my task is when i Type the text in the Combobox the related data should be filter in the DataGridView.If i type any letter in the Combbox the datagridview rows starts filter.
For Ex: Names are like 'Mali', 'Malu','Maal','Mouli'.
If i type 'M' letter in the Combobox then 4 rows Filter in the DataGridView. If i Type 'Ma' then 3 rows , If i type 'Mal' then 2 rows, If i type 'Mali' then 1 row.
I want to allow my user to add urls to a database, much as a user might add file names. I have a form with a label, a textbox, and a browse button. I would like the browse button to load the user's default browser and then have the final url appear in the textbox when the browser closes. I have not been able to do that, but I have come close. I have not found a way to capture the url from an arbitray browser, so I instead load ie.exe and then capture the url with an OnQuit handler. That works (even verified by the debugger) but I am unable to get the url to appear in the textbox without actually clicking in the textbox once ie closes. I would like a suggestion as to how to avoid making my user click in the textbox and, if possible, to load the user's default browser and still capture the url. Here is my code for the Browse button (IE is defined at the class level as Dim WithEvents IE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer):
i have 2 forms.in form1: i have 1 combobox in form2: i have 1 textbox and 1 button...I want to make in form2 when i enter some text in the textbox and press the button the text to be added in form1 combobox
I have GridView in Application where I have my CPUserID. There can be thousands records in GridView with different CPUserIDs.
Now I have a button "Allocate Token". But before allocating the token I want to check in my Token Table that if that CPUserID has already exists in table it should not allow user to allocate token and will return some message for that user.
For Each curRow As GridViewRow In GridView1.Rows Dim cpuserid As Label = CType(curRow.Cells(1).FindControl("lblCPUserID"), Label) Next
I have been using the 'findby' method for sometime, but now it suddenly is failing me on a new data source I have added to the project. I have the data source bound to a form and I am trying to find values based upon a primary key. This evades me, I am able to look up rows using 'findby' with other tables, but not this one.
Dim AnsiX12Row As ansisupplementDataSet.ANSIX12Row = Me.AnsisupplementDataSet.ANSIX12.FindBySegmentElement(CurColName) If AnsiX12Row IsNot Nothing Then
[Code].....
I have checked and re-checked, the CurColName is for a value in the table, but cant seem to find it... I always have AnsiX12Row = nothingBradford W Brown
I have just converting my VB6 project to VB.NET 2008. I have set up start with Model. It start with Main() sub, in Main sub I have declare as below:
Dim frm as new Formpwd frm.show()
In formpwd I have UserId, PWD as test box and Two command buttons. The system executes form_load code and then PWD and UserId_Gotfoucus handler and then closes the system. Why is not waiting to accept UserId and PWD?
I've made an application in Visual Basics, But I Want A msgbox to appear when the form is closed would this work?
Private Sub Form1_OnExit(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.OnExit MsgBox("Have You Saved, If Not Your Work WILL Be Discarded!", MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "Have You Saved?") End Sub
