Forms :: Changing The Backcolor Of A Control When It Has Focus And Lost Focus?

Feb 16, 2011

Is there a more efficient/easier way changing the backcolor of a control when it has focus and lost focus? Let's say I've got 10 text boxes. Right now I would have 20 different events...10 for Enter event and 10 for Leave event. Of course, entering would change the back color to "green" and leaving would change it back to "white".

Lost Focus Event, What Control Is Getting Focus?

Mar 21, 2012

I have a textbox on a form that when it loses focus it updates other text boxes on the form. But before it updates the other textboxes I check the input value in the textbox lostfocus event if it is undesired I return focus to the the textbox and alert the the user with a msgbox. However where my problem is, is that when the cancel button is clicked I don't care what the input in the textbox is because the changes are being canceled but if the value is undesired the it keeps returning focus to the textbox instead of canceling the changes. Is there a way to see what control was clicked on before or in the lost focus event? Can't seem to figure it out tried enter and leave events but no luck!

So for example something like this...

Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus
If Control that was clicked <> btnCancel then

Control Focus / Control Select

Jun 1, 2010

I have read this many times. Focus is a low-level method intended primarily for custom control authors. Instead, application programmers should use the Select method or the ActiveControl property for child controls, or the Activate method for forms. What exactly is the difference?

Jan 15, 2009

i have a window form which has text boxs, buttons and radio buttons.when the form is loaded i want to put the cursor focus to TextboxA. But what i got is it didn't go to textboxA although I call TextboxA.Focus() at Form_Load event.In my Form_Load event() i have:

1) assign a value to a global variable.
2) hide a panel
3) set this TextBoxA.focus.

What i found is if i didn't checked the radio control to True in Form design time, the focus is go to that place, textbox.If i set the radio checked = True in form design time, focus is go to this radio button although i set TextBoxA.focus in form load line end.In my radio_checkedchanged() event, I have:

1) clear all textbox and set the focus to textbox. ( i even tried remove the set textbox focus line in this radio event but it didn't work)

vb.net
Private Sub rdoNew_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rdoNew.CheckedChanged

VS 2010 Set Focus To A Specific Control?

Jan 30, 2012

I have a form with 3 controls that have TabIndex values set:Combo box (cboPostpone) - TabIndex = 0 Postpone Button - TabIndex = 1 Install Now button - TabIndex = 2

The code below is part of the Timer1.Tick event The code below seems to change the focus but then when trying to tab through the controls, it stays on the combo box.

[Code]...

Lastly, I removed cboPostpone.Focus() command from the Timer1.Tick event and move it to the Postpone button Click event. I run the focus command right after the me.hide command. I delayed it the first time and it came back with the Postpone button in focus again instead of the combo box.

.net - Remove Border On Focus From Button Control?

May 14, 2010

I am setting my Winforms Button control properties to appear as a hyperlink would on a web page. I've formatted everything fine, except the border in the FlatAppearance object. I have code to act as pseudo-CSS (FormBackColor is a string constant.):

b.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat
b.BackColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml(FormBackColor)
b.ForeColor = Color.Blue

[code]....

The code removes the border from the flat Button control except on MouseOver, where I add a 1 pixel border. On MouseLeave, I remove the border. This is to show some visual feedback. This works fine when the button does not have the focus. However, if I click on the button, giving the button focus, mousing out and over again now shows a greater than 1 pixel border around the button. I'm imagining it's combining my button's explicit 1 pixel border with the traditional "Winform Button has the focus, so add a border" border around the Button.How can I disable/remove the "Winform Button has the focus, so add a border" border? Or, should I just do a check in ButtonMouseOver to check if the control has the focus, being a condition of adding the border, and just be done with it?

Control - Prevent Another Application From Losing Focus

Nov 23, 2011

I'm creating some software to keep my students on task. I've set it up so that I can control certain aspects of their computer from my computer. Problem is, I'm not sure how to control other applications from my application. I mostly just want to prevent it from being minimized. Some students like to switch screens quickly when I walk by. I would just like to make sure that it is always on top until I specify otherwise. I'm using VB.net, I'm using the 3.5 .net framework for compatibility reasons.

I am doing something similar to the calulator in windows. My form has a key_up event that allows the user to type numbers. There is also number buttons they can click. Once a number button is clicked, it gains focus and the key_up no longer works.

I looked at windows caluclator and when you click a button there it does not gain focus and the keyboard keys continue to work. How can I get this behaviour?

NET - Which Control Has Focus - Visual Studio 2008

Nov 16, 2010

I am currently translating a windows form application, written in VB6, to a webpage written in Visual Studio 2010. In VB6 it is easy to find out which control has focus on the form using '.getFocus()'. I have come to the conclusion it is not that easy, if at all possible, in vb2008.

Set Focus On Particular Control When Opening Child Form

May 12, 2011

We have a main form which opens an MDI child form. What we want is to set the focus on a particular control in the child form, namely a telerik textbox. When the form is opened for the first time, the focus is set to the textbox control which has a tabIndex = 1 as expected. If the winodw is closed (and disposed) and then reopened via a button on the tool bar that calls the same code that opens the window when the application starts, no control has focus. We have added lines such as Me.rtxtPatientId.Focus() in the Paint event, load event, and activated event handlers but still cannot get the focus to the control. The code is quite extensive so posting it is difficult. However, here is the section that opens the child window:

if PatientSearchForm Is Nothing Then
PatientSearchForm = New frmPatientLookup
End If
PatientSearchForm.MdiParent = Me
PatientSearchForm.Show()
If PatientSearchForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then
PatientSearchForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
End If
PatientSearchForm.Activate()
PatientSearchForm.rtxtPatientID.Focus()

Alternative Than SendKeys To Change The Focus In The WebBrowser Control?

Mar 4, 2011

At the moment I have this to change focus of an element:

SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")

Instead of using that I was wondering if I could do something like this:

WebBrowser1.Document.All("id").InvokeMember("click")

But to get focus to the next element in line, like the next one from the current focused item.
