View 3 RepliesMuch like you'd do a formname.show. I'd like to make a tabpage come to view. I've tried the tabpage#.show and it didnt bring it to focus.

I am using System.Windows.Forms.TabPage to store an entire TabPage for later use in My.Settings. Here is a brief description of the application.
I have a TabControl that has 3 tabs. One for user input, another tab for equipment settings, and then a final tab for Oven settings. On the user input tab, if the user de-selects the checkbox for Oven, the oven tab is saved to My.Settings and hidden.
I can then run the application without oven control. After running, lets say the user would like to re-run, this time with the oven. They go back to the input tab and re-select the Oven checkbox. However, the Oven tab doesn't re-appear. When stepping through the code, the is nothing stored in My.Settings for the oven tab page. Why not?
Also, I can open the application, and check, then uncheck the oven checkbox and the tab is hidden, then returns. I can do this all day. However, after running the tab will not return.
I Try so many times to change TabPage Size and Form Size when I shif from One TabPAge to another, This because every TabPAge consist of defrent volume of control which need to enlarge and reduce the size. But I couldn't make it.

This works fine. But when the grid is dropped on a TabControl tabpage, the ctrl-tab looks very different to the sub above. e.keycode is seen as controlkey {17} I realize that by default cntrl-Tab moves between tabpages. I need to override this behavior. My thought is I probably need a subclass of the tabControl which will pass the keycombo through just as the form does but I confess to being clueless as to how to accomplish that. I tried to override the onkeydown of a tabcontrol subclass and just issuing a return and not and base call to onkeydown if the ctrl-tab combo was pressed but it seemed to see the e.keycode as controlkey as well.

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.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
recommend a book that focuses on the .NET framework in general and isn't too language specific.
View 3 RepliesI 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

After I did a sendkeys to another program from my form, i wanted to return focus to the form. i tried me.focus = true but that doesn't work.
View 1 RepliesI am having problem setting focus on specific cell in my Datagridview1 . On Form1 when clicking on cell 3 in any row, I am callig a Dialog1. However, when done working with it, and closing the Dialog1, the focus returns to cell 3 in my Datagridview1 . I like to set the focus on the next cell(4) making it the current cell.
I have tryed :
DataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.CellSelect
DataGridView1.CurrentCell = DataGridView1.Item(4, e.RowIndex)
DataGridView1.CurrentCell = DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells(4)
And few other things, I am always getting this exception: Operation is not valid because it results in a reentrant call to the SetCurrentCellAddressCore function.

View 6 RepliesIs It possible to have a "new tab" button on a tabpage, like in IE how theres the little square you click to add a new tab. So normally I use a separate button (like on a toolstrip) to create a new tab, but I want to have a button that floats next to the last tabpage in a tabcontrol that adds tabs. It would be great to have a little button at the end of each tab that you can click to close the tab, like in google chrome (I have an attachment, something as close as possible to that. like this is a normal "tabpage button"(the button where you click to show whatever is in the tab) [Tab Text.... ] and I want something like [Tab Text....

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to add a tabPage to an existing TabControl named TabControl4 I went all over it with the Debugger and everything is fine, but it won't show the TabPage in the TabControl. That's the code, Notice all the information being added to the TabPage is retrieved from a database so don't pay any attention to it, plus the software is in Hebrew so just ignore the Hebrew Strings.

I have a tab control on first page of which there is a flexgrid. some functions are called which throughout make chages to this flexgrid. now during runtime I create more tabpages with exactly the same Flexgrid (as in I have named it the same as the first one so that I should be able to call the same functions and the same modifications should happen with this flexgrid as well. How should I call the function so that the flexgrid used is the one on my new tabpage. if I just call the function with the code Call functionname(), it modifies the same flexgrid control in the first tabpage and does nothing to the new ones on the newly created tabpages

View 5 Repliesi am using a tabcontrol with close button.i have 4 tabpage and i call each tabpage through menustrip.
MainTab.TabPages.Add(TerminalPage)"for tabpage1"
MainTab.TabPages.Add(Attendance)"for tabpage2"
MainTab.TabPages.Add(Multimedia Projector)"for tabpage3"
MainTab.TabPages.Add(Conversation)"for tabpage4"
i can open and close it without any problem. my problem is that how can i determine if the tabpage is already open? bcoz for example if the tabpage1 is already open, clicking MainTab.TabPages.Add(TerminalPage)"for tabpage1" this will add another tabpage named terminal page.
I tried this:
If TabControl1.SelectedTab = TabPage2
But it didn't work.
