How To Check All The Text Boxes Inside The GroupBox Control
Sep 8, 2011
Im working on a lay-away form application, this particular part is part of the even where the user adds a new customer, and has come to the section for adding personal references to the customers account. What Im trying to do is to check all the text boxes inside the GroupBox control, and then add all the tags of the text boxes that are empty to the list. If the list holds any records it will be put into a message box to let the user know he missed this value. But I want them to list in one text box. Here is what I've tried:[code...]
I get a conversion error, Cannot convert Prompt to String.
I have a Custom Groupbox that overrides the OnPaint event to do some custom drawing, backgrounds, etc. The problem I have is that when I use it in an application and want to draw text on the control, it gets drawn first, then immediately afterwards the OnPaint from the control gets called and draws on top of the text. Is there any way to get the text drawn after the control's OnPaint?
My scenario is this; I'm doing a project on a vet and I have a form for the vaccinations that can be given. Each vaccine is assigned to a checkbox. What I want to do is, when a checkbox is checked, the required vaccine is added to the listbox. Also when numerous checkboxes are checked, I want all of the values to appear in the list box (the list box then gets saved to a database).
The only thing i've managed to do is; when the checkbox is checked it gets added to the list box. But when another one is checked the 2nd value replaces the first, in the list box.
I have a groupbox called "GradeGroupBox" that contains 4 radio buttons for each high school grade. I also have a clear button which, when pressed, should deselect any values in that box. how can this be completed? I know how to do each one individually, but is there a way to do it as a group?
I have an insert statement which works fine but before the record is saved I want to validate the text boxes. So I just need to know how to check for empty text boxes before the save button is clicked on. I have seen a couple of examples like:
Dim ctr As TextBox If ctr.Text = vbNullString Then MsgBox("empty box")
I created a groupbox and then populate it with buttons during runtime. I also created a button, say Button1 to loop through the groupbox and delete those buttons.[code]...
Is it possible to get all of the text boxes from a Tab control ? I just want to perform an action for all of them (i.e. change their back color).I am using this following code , but it doesn't work.[code]I have also tried to catch the name of their parent control ,but to my surprise the value is Nothing ! It is like they are not placed on a parent control.I have also tried placing the text boxes on a Panel control and then the code works fine (replacing the Tab control's name with the Panel's name) . However I need to use a tab control because I need more than one tab in order to place my controls.Just in case , let me specify that the Tab control is already place on a Panel control .
I used this code to created 2 combo boxes General and Specific...and Only show Specific (Combo when Combo A is chosen.....What i need now is to know how to assign specific values to the items in combo b (Specific).??? If i chose a sode, Fanta, i want the total price to be $10.00 (this price will show up in the finial price box..
I updated a VS2008 vb.net application to VS2010 targeting the .Net 3.5 framework. This application has a windows form that contains a tab control. This tab control contains 6 tab pages. The tab control's tab pages contain group boxes. The group boxes have their anchor property set to Top, Bottom, Left and Right. The tab control's anchor property is also set to Top, Bottom, Left and Right.
When I open this form in VS2010 and resize the form, the tab control is automatically resized. The group boxes inside each tab page appear to automatically resize. If I close the form and immediately reopen it and click through each tab page; the first tab page's group box is resized, but each of the other tab pages's group box has not been resized.
I reported this issue through Microsoft Connect - [URL]. This worked in VS2003, VS2005, VS2008 but was broken in VS2010. I really want the behavior that existed in the previous versions of visual studio. Right now, I have to manually resize each individual group box every time I bring up the form in the designer.
I have a load of information on my label in a groupbox on the form there is too much information to be seen in one go so i want to use a vertical scrollbar to move the label up and down inside the groupbox so it can be read.
The issue i'm having is:
1: The label covers the bottom edge of the groupbox (looks a little naff) i need it to fall inside the groupbox if possible.
2: Any movement on the vertical scrollbar seems to send the label in one direction only - so how do i work it so that up moves it up and down moves it down?
Should i use a multiline textbox rather than a label and move the carat?
I've been struggling with something I imagined would be simple. My aim is to create a TextBox or Label with in a GroupBox using VB.net, yes I could use the Toolbox/Common Controls to do this easily, but it's a pain when planning on making more than just one or two of them
Here's my current coding to create the actual text box.

All that works perfectly, but how would I allow it to show up within a GroupBox?
I have code which saves DGV contents including check box columns as a comma separated text file. I also have correct code which will take the text file and re-insert it into the DGV at a later time. This all works.When I'm working on the DGV, I have this
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellValueChanged If DataGridView1.Columns(e.ColumnIndex).Name = "Column12" Then[code]....
So that when the check box is true, columns 1 and 3 turn different colours, and when false, go to a yellow colour.However, when I "re-insert" my DGV info from my text file, the check boxes come back correctly - as true and false on the right rows - but columns 1 and 3 don't change colour. I've tried a "DataGridView1.Refresh" option but not getting it to work.The DGV is unbound. I need it to recognise which check boxes are true and update automatically when the information is opened from a text file.
I am facing an important problem with the LineShape control (installed with the Visual Basic Power Pack) . The problem is that in design time once I have "Sent to back" some controls (other controls, like text boxes), I can no longer select them! The controls get stuck on the form and I can't select them anymore! Even if I select those controls from the Properties window, I still can't do anything with them (like move them over the form etc). Right now I am using VS 2008. However maybe this problems doesn't appear on VS 2010?
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?
how to do something similar to what was a control array in VB6 in .NET? I would like to be able to fill the contents of several text boxes using a FOR NEXT loop or something similar..... corresponding the contents of an array with the texts of an equal number of text boxes.
I'm trying to lern VS 2010 from VB 6 and one of the things i'm hawing a problem whid is control array.In vb 6 if you create a text box it's named "Text1" and if you yust copy it and paste it it renames to "Text1(0)" and the new one's name is "Text1(0)" and the code would lock like this
[code]...
then it would print for each loop the random result in one of the text boxes corresponding to i.
I use check boxes and place them on my user interface (See attachment)I have coded the code for "select all" button :
Code: Private Sub checkedall_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As_ System.EventArgs) Handles checkedall.Click Dim chkboxes, outs As New Collection()
[code]....
I could not seems to check all the boxes. Is there something wrong with it? I am not sure how to assign array to check boxes.
I have a form in which their is a GroupBox control. I set the Font's Bold property to TRUE. I know that by default any other control put inside a gorupbox will inherit the Font's property settings. I have textboxes and labels in which I manually reset the Font Bold property to FALSE, however, I have a DataGridView that I did the same thing with but whenever I run the app in test mode, it reverts back to the Fonts' Bold property as TRUE rather than FALSE.
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.
