How To Auto Tab Text Boxes
Jul 8, 2005
Im new to vb (used to dreamweaver doing all the work Now im in to progging for pc instead of web LOL
right I have 8 text boxes restricted to 4 characters each, have set the tab order but want to curser to move to the next text box automatically after the 4th character has been entered in each box (if that makes sense!)
An example would be on windows xp setup when you type in the product key the curser moves to the next box after the 5 chars for that box have been entered!

With TxtBox
.Name = "T" & reader("area").ToString
.Visible = True

I am building a form in access database.
I have a combo box which is linked to a query which is looking up a unique reference number from a table called Tbl_Submitted_Requests.
What I need the form to do is auto populate the other text boxes when the user selects the unique reference from the combo box. How can I get the text boxes to auto populate with the data that is associated with each unique reference?

I am trying to follow the book 'Sams teach yourself VB 2008'. It was going well until the end of hour 4. For exercise 1 I have created the form with a button and two text boxes, but cannot work out the code I need to move text between the two boxes. The Object Browser does not seem to help - am I reading it wrong?

I'm not 100% sure where to post this, as I'm making the program in VB.net, however It is linked to access and is getting the information / saving it into there.
I have a customers page and a jobsheet page,
the customers page is where the information on the customer is stored e.g. "Company" ,"First name" and "Last name".
When I Go into jobsheet, I have made it in so that company searches for the record from access so there is a list e.g. "Big W" , "Bunnings" etc, and tied up to the company is a name of the person in that company.
My question (after all the babble) is how can I make it so when I choose "Big W" from the list, it auto fills in the "First name" with 'John' and last name with 'Smith' , and if I choose Bunnings it uses the name associated with that and etc for the other companies.

So as the name states; I am a newer coder.
This is the code i have:
Public Sub RandomNumbers()
Dim s(4) As String
Dim RandomNumber As Byte
I don't know if you can tell what I am trying to do here, so I will try to explain. I what to create for random numbers and place them into for different text boxes. I also would like to do this with combo boxes and their selected indexes. So if the combo box has 10 items in it; the new selected index would be the random number generated above.

I'm in the middle of creating an application that will be used to input customer information whilst the customer is speaking to someone over the phone. This involves the customer giving the employee information such as name, address, postcode etc and the employee inputting that information into text boxes and combo boxes that are in the application.
What I would like to be able to do is after the customers information is given over the phone, I need to be able to send that information to a database which will probably most likely be done by button click. In this case, I'm using Microsoft Access. I'm also hoping that I can do this within Visual Basic coding.
The database is set out with multiple tables which include a customer table and a ticket table and both have multiple fields such as first name, surname in the customers table. Both of these tables are in use with the information that the customer gives over the phone.
I've already asked on other forums and people are where replying giving me third party programs that I could use to implement this, something I don't really want to do.

I am writing a program for FEMAP API interface in VB 2008 Express. Some API commands open user dialog boxes which requires yes or OKcancel inputs. So much for automation "Sendkeys" do not work, because code execution stalls at the line which opens the dialog boxes. I need stg that runs in parallel, watches for these dialog boxes, and sends the right keystroke at the right time.

Microsoft's scripting languages (VBScript and JScript) have a POPUP method that allows you to control the time span a message box is displayed on screen before the message box closesI've searched but I do not believe that this functionality (i.e. ability to control the display time) is included in the VB 2008. If I'm wrong can someone point me in the right direction? If I am right and VB2008 only offers a standard message box, can anyone how they have created popup types of messages that only exist for a specified amount of time.
I have a situation where I would like to display an informational message box on screen when an event takes place but I don't want the user to have to acknowledge the event by having to press the OK button as the machine may or may not be attended at the time the message is displayed. If someone is present they can either acknowledge the event by pressing OK or simply waiting for the specified timeframe has elapsed.

I have combo boxes for user choices on the form. One combo box for name, one for phone number and one for email. I first created that to allow user to make select in each combo box. As more "user friendly" interface, I I would like to associate the selection made on cmbBxReqstrName with corresponding phone number and email and cause the phone number and email combo box to "auto fill" in their respective combo boxes based on the selection in the cmbBxReqstrName. It was suggested to me that a two dimesional array might be an option. I read up on arrays but don't quite comprehend the coding part to access the data in the array and fill that to the combo box or I guess use the index from array to index the combo box list.

I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.

i am trying to automatically generate multiple text boxes on a form with the following code
Private Sub CreateTB(ByVal x As Integer)
Dim y As Integer = 1
Do Until y = x
[Code]...
i need it to generate as many text boxes as the variable x states, so i used the do until loop thing. But i am stuck when it comes to naming the text boxes because obviously all the text boxes cannot share the same name. so i would like to know how to programmatically name each textbox uniquely.

I'm trying to read a text file that contains info like this:
ACX-101-011 , J2168
BTXR-130A-013, D6733
AJ4-233-614, T8211
I want to split each line at the comma and write the left side to a textbox and the the right side to another textbox. I'm close, with the code below, but I can only post results from the first line in the file. How do I loop this and append the text results in each of the textboxes.
Dim TempFile As String
TempFile = "temp.txt"
Dim sw As StreamWriter

how to permanently save to text files then re-open all of the information again using SFD and OFD. Now my teacher has come back at me and said that i need to be able to save the information from multiple text boxes and have the text in certain labels to also be saved into the one text file (the labels need to be done because it is a database and these labels are like the fields and the right text box needs to match the right label)

I'm trying to make a small database out of text boxes and text files, something where sql would be overkill, not to mention beyond my experience. I want to be able to write the contents of the text boxes to a file.txt (the easy part) then being able to retrieve them back out into individual text boxes. How would I pull this one off?

I need to to able to save multiple text-boxes and a combo-box to a text file. the thing is, when I go to save, I check out the .txt file manually and its saved all in one line, no spaces. when I go to "read" it with the 2nd part (<-----this is a 2 part Challenge) it even reads all from that one line in the text file. What i'm asking is how can I make my text-boxes saved in the text file on different lines. [Code]

I have a text file containing ten pieces of information (5 prices and 5 descriptions) I want to load the information from the text file in to the text boxes, so that it can be viewed and edited if required.
I've declared the filename, and various variables, but I'm not sure how to get the info from the file to my form?
filename = CurDir() & "/charges.txt"
Could I use something like this:
fileopen(1, filename, openmode.append)
do while not EOF(1)

What i am trying to do is save text from a number of text boxes to a user named file then subsequently be able to reload the data back into the same text boxes at a later date.so far i have this which was provided for elsewhere on the web, this allows me to save comma delineated data to a file which is fine but i can't seem to reload the data. As an experiment i have just tried to reload it back into a rich text box to see if the process would work but nothing as yet.
