how to get a text of a textbox "blued" if focus = true ... for not clicking twice.... i mean when you click, background of the text become blue and what you write is replaced with the text...(i dont know what that is called)
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to highlight the text when the textbox gets focus, like an address bar of browsers. I'm using this code so far:
[Code]...
And it works fine, but I'd like to do the same thing on the click event. Here's my problem. The same code of enter event in text box, apparently doesn't work on mouse down and mose up.
I'm using the code below to select the text within my textbox during the mousedown event. It works great when the HeaderChanged sub is not called. The problem is, the HeaderChanged sub will always be called on the textbox's focus event.If the user clicks the far right portion of the textbox the whole text value will be selected (like it should), but if the user clicks near the left side of the textbox only a portion of the text will be selected.

I'm working on an application to write reports for the work I do. I have a Grid filled with Textboxes inside a Scrollviewer to input data for the report. I am using the arrow keys to navigate around the grid. The focus moves to the expected Textbox when the arrow keys are pressed but if I press any other key it is immediately followed by a Tab to the next Textbox. Even a Tab is followed by another Tab. Following is the code I use for the navigation.
Private Sub svReportPage_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs) Handles svReportPage.KeyUp
Dim focusDirection As FocusNavigationDirection
If e.Key = Key.Right Then focusDirection = FocusNavigationDirection.Right
If e.Key = Key.Left Then focusDirection = FocusNavigationDirection.Left

I have two forms, one has a textbox on it the other also has textbox on it. Form1's textbox is the source for text found. form2's textbox contains the search criteria.
This the code that I quickly bashed out to do a find functionality of a textbox. The problem is the last line of code. If I use the last line of code the the Source Form.s textbox is highlighted however if the Source Form is Maximised then the Find form will be hehind the Source Form. I don't want that to happen. Secondondly if I dont use the last line of code then the the text isn't seleceted at all.

I'm trying to make a textbox at runtime, Dim t as Control
t = New Textbox
t.Multiline = True
t.Size = New Size(300,120)
Form1.Controls.Add(t)
I found out that you can only size a textbox when Multiline is set true. And that's the problem. When I use t.Mutiline = true I get the error " 'multiline' is not a member of 'system.windows.forms.control' "
I've searched the internet for hours without result.

I want to change the TextBox border color if certain event is true.
For example, in a GroupBox, there is a TextBox and a Button.
If the TextBox is empty, and I click the button, I want the TextBox border color to change to red.
If the TextBox is not empty, I want The border color to remain unchanged.
How do I change the TextBox border color on a certain event?

How can I pull individual lines out of a multiline textbox when wordwrap=true?
For example I have a long string in a textbox and it wordwraps to create 3 seperate lines. How can I get the text of the 2nd line? The control thinks that there is only 1 line since it wordwrapped and there are no CRLFs in the string.
Basically, I have a form with about 15 text boxes. Most are in different tab pages. By default, text boxes allow anybody to copy and paste by using keyboard shortcuts.I added a tool strip up top and make the "Cut", "Copy", and "Paste" buttons. What I want to do is make them work for whichever text box was last focused. So if I click the Cut button on the tool strip, it will cut the text of the
last text box that was focused.
Example:I open the program and type in TextBox1. Then I type in TextBox2. I want to copy the contents of the last text box by using the Copy key at the top, so I click that and it copies TextBox2 as it was the last focused textbox.
Like I said, I'm not fully sure how possible this is as I do have many. The whole reason I have the tool strip is for users that prefer using a mouse for everything rather than keyboard shortcuts.

I am writing a control in WPF that draws a shape on a form and then draws dimensions of this shape. These dimensions are editable so they are shown in a text box. When the user changes a dimension in a text box the shape is updated. I am updating the shape when the textbox showing the dimension loses focus i.e. as soon as the text box loses the focus the shape and all the dimensions are redrawn.
A text box loses focus in one of two ways - either when user presses tab key or when user clicks in another control outside the text box. My problem is that when user presses tab key or clicks somewhere else outside the text box the whole control is redrawn and the focus is not set to the next control where it should be. This is really annoying because tabs stop working altogether and to set a focus using mouse the user has to click twice.
An image of my control is shown below

When a Windows Forms TextBox control first receives the focus the cursor has to be there at first position in the Textbox.
We have tried to resolve the above issue by adding below code in form load event.
TextBox1.SelectionStart = 0
TextBox1.SelectionLength = 0
Now, when a Windows Forms TextBox control first receives the focus, the default insertion (cursor) within the text box is to the left of any existing text. The user can move the insertion point with the keyboard or the mouse. If the text box loses and then regains the focus, the insertion point will be wherever the user last placed it.
But the problem is when some operation is performed in TextBox_Leave event, it will loose the focus. Again when it receives the focus, the whole text is getting selected instead of showing cursor where the user left.
