I'm chasing code that is going to allow me to have multiple text boxes on my form, but when the form is first opened, it will only display one textbox. Once data is entered into said text box, i want it to display the next textbox, and so on. Is there a way to have these hidden?

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 am working in VB 2008 and I have a textbox on a form that is used to enter a parcel number. I can enter the number in a 15 character string such as 12345678...... and it works just fine. The parcel number in real life contains dashes to make it easier to read, decipher, etc. so it looks like 12-3-45-67....... Under the textchanged subroutine for the textbox I have a case statement set up that checks the length of the parcel number as it is entered and inserts the dash accordingly.

Hi, I'm working on a program that reads text entered into a textbox and creates a list of items by separating entries by commas. Everything is working fine, except, because I am using an array to store the items in the list, I have a limited number of entries. This is only a problem because, as it is written currently, each comma counts as an individual entry. Therefore, users can enter ",,," for example, and it would use up 3 places in the array.
I'm looking for a way to check to make sure there is text after the comma before adding an entry. I've attempted to use the .substring command to check the character after, which works until it gets to the last character. Because there is no character after that, it will give an error.
Here is my code for extra clarity:
Public Class frmMain
Dim intCounter As Integer 'Stores the # of commas in the string
Dim Messages(49) As MessageProperties

View 2 RepliesI'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?
