Me.txtClimit.Text = FormatNumber(Me.txtClimit.Text, 2, , , TriState.True)
End Sub

View 3 RepliesI'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.

I have searched on google and asked friends, but have not figured out a way to add dashes while a user is typing either a phone number or a social security number or something of the like. I am using Visual Studio 2008, VB Windows Form. This is not for homework but I enjoy adding things to certain projects and thought this would be neat to incorporate into one of mine. I am also curious about allowing the user to enter the first three numbers for their area code and then send the focus to the next text box so that the user can type the rest of their number. I was thinking I could do something with the text box text entered event procedure where I would send the focus after three characters entered. Not 100% on the entire idea or if there is an easier way.
View 1 Repliesi have a texbox TextChange event which every time when a user hind a character in it , am querying data to my database and display that data under a datagridview control.but my data now have been grow up and still going, every time am enetering a character to the textbox is taking time to query that data and if the user type a quickly word then a lag occures to the textbox.
i have seen a lot of programs and microsoft programs that when a user is typing is not seacrhing anything unless the user stop typing .with out having any other event of focus lost or anything.can i do that also in my application with an easy way and avoid using timers or any complex way?
i've got my basic AutoTyper ready (well and one with autoupdating etc in it) but it's only a singular line. [Code] What I want to do it to type multiple lines, I know I'll have to enable multiline on the TextBox. I want it to type one line per time interval using 1 timer. I don't know how but I know it would have to count the lines but from then on I'm stuck. I will need to make it type line 1, then on the next loop line 2 and go on until it's reached the amount of lines from the count then repeat from line 1. [Code]

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?

I am using VS 2005 pro and VB.NET. How do you format the DataGridView.DefaultCellStyle.format property for zip codes and phone numbers. I have a zip code and phone number column(s) that I want to be formatted. I have tried a lot of different things:
Zip code: "99999-0000" or "Phone Number: "(999)000-0000" or "(000)000-0000" and the like So far nothing has worked. I can get my date columns formatted correctly, but not these. Can any one give me some examples that work?
Is there a built in way to know when a user is done typing into a textbox? (Before hitting tab, Or moving the mouse) I have a database query that occurs on the textchanged event and everything works perfectly. However, I noticed that there is a bit of lag of course because if a user is quickly typing into the textbox the program is busy doing a query for each character. So what I was hoping for was a way to see if the user has finished typing. So if they type "a" and stop then an event fires. However, if they type "all the way" the event fires after the y keyup. Like measuring the time since the last textchange event and if it was > than a certain value then it would proceed to run the rest of my procedures.

I need to work with multiline textboxes. I am currently developing a web application that was started by someone else. The only problem I have is the text in my multiline textboxes is going to the next line before it needs to. I have played around with settings, removed the textboxes and added them back, and I am still having the same problem. When typing in the textboxes, the text moves to the next line after pressing the space bar.
View 6 RepliesI have a form that allows users to enter information into a few textboxes. When users click save, the information will be transferred into the datagridview.
My problem now is, for instance, there is a textbox called "Price" with the datatype "money" which users are only allowed to enter numbers. If users enter alphabets, errors will occur. I don't wanna use try catch, I would like to try different methods such stopping users from entering anything into the textbox when the datatype isn't correct - nothing will appear in the textbox when users hit all the keys in the keyboard except for numbers.
Is there a way to make the textbox stop typing when a user types numbers? I don't want an error message, I'd just like the user to be able to insert 10 numbers and then it shouldn't add any newly typed numbers.[code]....

Is there a way to find out if the "TextChanged" event is fired because the user is typing into a textbox or the programmer called myTextBox.Text = "something"? I don't want to react when the user is typing each letter into the textbox so I am using the "Validated" event to catch when the user is done so I can react. The problem is I don't have a way to catch when the programmer does "myTextbox.Text = "something". The only way I know to catch changes there is to use TextChanged but then I don't want to be reacting when the user is typing each letter into the textbox.
