In reading various answers regarding "masked TextBox Control, am I to assume that the masked textBox control uses a mask to determine what characters the user can enter into the control?
View 1 RepliesI've written a piece of code that takes 3 fields from a database and writes out the 3 added together, but with the middle field cropped down, so that the total number of characters is always 28, what I thought was the width of my listbox. I realised when I debugged though, that the listbox was docked and grew or shrank depending on the size of the screen.
Is there a way to determine how many fixed width characters will fit in a control, at run time?

View 12 RepliesI've found various C# examples here, but I can't seem to get a VB version working.I want to be able to pass a simple variable into a User Control to determine whether it shows a certain section of data.It's basically a Customer Data form, and in some circumstances I need to show a line with the customers account number and sort code, and in some I don't, so my user control:
<controls:customerForm ID='customerForm' showBankDetails="no" runat='server' />
But I can't work out what to do with the showBankDetails variable in Code Behind to stop it from rendering that section, or simply hide it with a CSS snippet.How do I access that variable in the code behind using VB.NET?
I have numberic updown control in my app. There may be times when I want to programatically change the vlaue (in which case I don't want to ValueChanged event handler code to run). There will certainly be times when the user makes a change (in which case, I would want the event handler code to run).

I am modifying some code I found here to test to see if a user has scrolled to the end of the control. In this case the control is a Crystal Viewer but I posted here because I think the issue is based on the vertical scrollbar not the Crystal Viewer itself.
The code flags an error at
Me.CRViewer.Controls.OfType
Indicating 'OfType' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlCollection'.
I understand the concept that I can't reference something that it is not but I don't know how to fix it. The original code was for a DataGridView.
The ultimate goal (not finished) is to find out when the user has used the mouse or possibly the scroll bar itself and if it hits the bottom of the page of the viewer, then trigger a new page so it looks like they can just keep using the mouse to scroll.
Public Sub New()
Me.InitializeComponent()
Dim vscroll As VScrollBar = Me.CRViewer.Controls.OfType(Of VScrollBar)
