Set A "soft" Focus On A Text Field?
Apr 23, 2012
With two of my forms, which present empty text boxes, I execute a statement of the form frmAdd.txtBox.Focus(). This places a blinking insert bar at the begining of an upper left text box, which is what I want. For a third form, in which the text boxes are filled in, the statement frmChange.txtBox.Focus() not only sets the insert bar, but also blocks the entire text; any inadvertent keystroke could delete the whole text, which is NOT what I want.How can I place the focus on the text box without pre-selecting the whole field?

I'm working on this project, and when the form loads it should automatically put the Focus on the username field if it is empty, however if there is a username - put the focus on where you write your message.Below is the code, and it simply doesn't seem to work for whatever reason. I have tried several methods of it, and even commented out every other line of code in the application to make sure there was no interference, and there was none. is there anything that could possibly overwrite the ability to do this? Some setting I need to change? etc etc?
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtUser.Text) Then
txtUser.Focus()
Else

I am working on a carputer app, and it will be relatively basic with common tools. I am going to make an onscreen keyboard that fits the style of my app, but I want to make it a seperate application from the main app. All I want it to do is is have my keyboard become visible whenever I enter a text field of any application, whether it be programmed by me or a third-party app. Think about this in the way of a smart phone... Whenever you enter a textfield the system keyboard is displayed.

I'm trying to draw some text using GDI (i.e. using a graphics object). It is done using the basic method of creating a path, adding a string to it and using a brush to fill it.
The only tricky part is that I need to apply a soft edge wipe to it. To describe what I'm trying to do better, I've uploaded an example done in photoshop: [URL]
What is the best way of achieving this? I need to be able to control the mask that is creating the soft edge - i.e. the position of the gradient, the width of the gradient etc.
Ideally I'd like to do it using the graphics object and not dipping into .dlls - but at the end of the day I'll do whatever it takes!!

I am new to Visual Basic. I have Visual Basic 2010 Express. I am planning to make a program that can download files from a website to put on an SD Card to Soft Mod, or hack it. I want it so that the user clicks on a radio button based on what System Menu their Wii is running on. There is currently, System Menu 4.0 or less, System Menu 4.2, and System Menu 4.3.
They also have to choose a region from a List Box. The current options are:
Region U (Americas)
Region K (Korean)
Region J (Japanesse)
Region E (European)
I also want it so that the user can choose where to download the installation files for the Wii soft Mod.
I want to have a button that when the user clicks on it, a pop up asks them where they want to download the files to appear, once they choose a location, i want it to download a file based on what they chose and i also want it so that it tells them what to do with the files and where to put them.

In MS Access you can set the background to a specific colour when the field has the focus. This is done through "conditional formatting", using the "Field has Focus" feature. How is that done in VB.NET?

When i call TextBoxNameHere.Focus() it sets focus BUT it highlights the contents of the text box
I need it to set the cursor to be at the last character so if someone presses a key after that it doesn't erase the content, I have searched through a great deal of questions, but most of them are just asking how to set focus which i already know =|

I have a few instances of a user control that has just a TextBox to search for items. The cursor is in one uc TextBox but the text I type appears in another uc TextBox. How can this be possible. Notice the cursor in model number, but the text is in upc.
Code:
Private Sub TxtScan_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyEventArgs) Handles TxtScan.KeyDown
'When typing in the model number uc I see that the sender
'is the txtbox is the one in the UPC user control.
End Sub

On my Form_Load event, I simply have a code which is simply Text1.Focus and Text1.SelectAll. Neither of these actually works. I've also tried this on the Visible_Changed event and checked if the form is visible.
I can create a button with this code in and it works fine. Is this something to do with the text box not actually being visible at the time when the code is executed? It's driving me mad!

I'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 am working on a form that allows the user to open a plaintext file into a rich text box.The user can search for a word using a textbox and a find button. The word is then highlighted. I cannot figure out how to keep the word highlighted or selected when I type in my replace box or click anywhere else on the form, the word is no longer selected. have a replace button, which will replace any single instance of a word. But my replace all button is supposed to replace all of the words, and count the number of replacements it makes and display that number in a message box

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 just want to ask if it is possible to take a focus by a camera then generate it into text because I am planning to propose a thesis topic which is Subdivision Entry Pass wherein the security camera in the gate will focus the camera on the plate number of the car then it has to track the record in the database if it is registered by the resident. Is it possible?

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

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".

Here is what I've done:1) Created an Excel COM add-in for Excel 20032) Added a NotifyIcon to the Windows taskbar notification area (aka system tray) during ThisAddIn_Startup3) Added a ContextMenuStrip with a ToolStripButton to the NotifyIconWhy is it when I right click on the NotifyIcon, Excel gains focus? If after clicking on the NotifyIcon to display the ContextMenuStrip I choose not select an option on the ContextMenuStrip and instead click back on the Excel window, I get a weird flashing cell in Excel.I've created a video of the problem to help you see what I [url] anyone know how to prevent this? Ideally, I'd like to be able to click back on Excel and only have the ContextMenuStrip close and Excel regain focus.

I have two forms in an application. One is he background and then I show another keypad form called with the show() method (not showDialog) because I need to perform some validations on btn click.
The kepad has 10 buttons and an Enter Button. The problem is that the form keeps loosing focus (I checked this with a messagebox which keeps poping up once for focus=true and again for focus=false, it continuously keeps losing and gaining focus) so it does not process any keypress events untill i click somewhere on the form. I tried using me.focus() in form load event but to no avail. The forms TopMost property is also set to true.
