Show Button If Cursor Is Between Two Strings In A Textbox?
Dec 27, 2009
Basically I have a series of lines in a textbox like this:
### = 1232, 1234, 1236, 1238, 123A, 123C ; comment here I want to show a button when the caret (cursor pipe thing) in the textbox goes is in a number so like:
... , 12|31, .... or
... , 123|1, .... etc
(the pipe being the caret)
I have written code to check if it is in a number and to get the number when the button is clicked, but it doesn't work correctly if I put the code in the selection changed event.
oh and the numbers can be upto 8 digits long and hex.
if I click on the SearchSearch Textbox, I want the highlight to be on the Search Button and not on save without using AcceptButton or any TabIndexing so if whenever i press ENTER and the 'I' cursor is on the SearchSearch Textbox, the search button will be triggered.
Javascript: function getFocus(textboxName,e) { document.getElementByIdSearchSearch(textboxName).focus(); }
[Code]....
before i made the Search button on focus whenrver i click on the Search textbox. so what happens is everytime i click on the textbox it instantly focuses on the Search button making me unable to type anything. I tried also making a Panel for the Search textbox and button having a DefaultButton but it doesnt highlights the Search Button
I'm trying to make it so that that user can enter predefined text by a button event (which will save them time typing). For example, they're writing a note in a textbox and then they click a 'Name" button which enters the name of the person into the text box at the place of the cursor, which will cut down on errors caused by typos.
So I need something like:
Button_click event() textbox.AddAtCursor(person.name) end sub
I'm brand new to VB and I'm still trying to learn even the basic elements. One of the things that I'm having the hardest time with is. I'd like to have 1 button that I'm able to click to display information in a nearby text box.
I need to click a button but after doing so a label will show the first digit in a text box and another label will show the second digit. I know the button control but I don't get how to get the label to say what the first and second digit is.
Im working on a project containing a couple of forms. On the main form I want to labels in the status bar that show the X,Y location of the cursor when it moves over the form. I thought this code would do it but it doesnt work
Private Sub MainForm_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove lblCursorX.Text = "X: " & e.X lblCursorY.Text = "Y: " & e.Y[code].......
I don't know what's wrong but in my code I can't show the cursor. .Hide() will succesfully hide the cursor but then .Show() does nothing.
If moveTimer.Enabled Then Windows.Forms.Cursor.Hide() Else Windows.Forms.Cursor.Show() : MsgBox("wdf")
Basically while the game is running, I need the cursor hidden. That part works, but when the game pauses, I need the cursor back and .Show() isn't working. I have a msgbox to check and make sure that the Else side actually executes when the game is paused, and it does so I know .Show() is executing.
you know how you can set the windows taskbar to appear and disappear when the position of the mouse is all the way at the bottom? i want to do the same thing with my form when the mouse is in the top left corner of screen.or perhaps you can suggest to me a different way to do this. the user will probably just need to set those trackbars just several times during their usage.
I have a test app driven by bluetooth serial events In my form load code I hide the cursor so it doesn't get in the way of pictures (fullscreen) When one event is called by bluetooth, it brings up a msgbox and the user has to click OK. I tried Windows.Forms.Cursor.Show() but it doesn't work.
I'm guessing it's something to do with delegates and events and the form, but the debugger doesn't complain at any point. It just refuses to show the cursor. How can I get my serialport event to show the cursor? And then hide it after?
I am doing this assignment on a Math tutor program and I am stuck at one point.First off the listbox needs to show the equations for the number entered between 0 and 12 example:
1+1=2 1+2=3 1+3=4 1+4=51+5=6[code].....
I don't understand how to get that information into a list box.I am also stuck in an infinite loop somehow i think because nothing shows up at all in the listbox and the number the user enters should at least be there. I am assuming the code should be more like
lstbox.items.add(decNumEntered("+1 =") Option Strict On Option Explicit On[code]............
I'm getting an Out of Range argument, it claims the length of the indexed substring is less than zero. I know the Substring and trim methods can work because I got an answer (not what I wanted) before I started trying to hone it in to the correct chapter and verse
Can anyone help me to make a program which include a Button shows the current Month and the year and when clicking the button it shows a DialogBox ith a MonthCalender (this one I have done - the Monthcalender shown on a Dialogbox).Further I want to change the month shown as a Text of the Button when I click other Buttons to make the calender to go backwards or forwards,
Another thing I want to know is how to make the TreeView which expand / reveal another line or something on clicking the "Plus".I am learning only VB 2005 / VB 2008, please give the codes etc for VB 2005 only.
BTW, Can you tell me how to paste a picture in this writing place? I tried to paste the picture to shoow what exactly I want to do, but I couldn't do it.
how to keep the cursor out of a Textbox? The Textbox is read only and no tabstop. Still when i run the app, if you click on the Textbox the cursor is there and i dont want it.
I have a string that will be of varying lengths. I want to display this string in a textbox so scroll bars will appear if the string is larger than the size of the text box. This info is read only - I don't want to give the user any input with it.I still see a cursor and my string highlighted even with the ReadOnly set to true.Is there any way to disable the cursor altogether in a textbox so nothing is highlighted?Maybe I'm not using the best control for this, but I don't want to use a label.I generate this textbox at run time, if that matters at all.
I have a form which uses many TextBox's. TextBox1 through TextBox3 are already working the way I need them to. The other 123 I am having a small issue with. Basically, I need to detect which TextBox (4-85) the cursor is in, since a change in that box will modify some or many of the other boxes.
If I use something like TextBox4.Text.Changed, I will get caught in a massive loop, since a change in TextBox4 will alter the contents of TextBox36 and TextBox44. A Change in TextBox36 will alter TextBox4,5,6,7 and 44, and a change in TextBox44 will alter TextBox4-43.
The second set of TextBox's (45-85) act the same way. The last group of TextBoxes (86-126) are calculations based on the other 2 sets and are not user adjustable.
Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?
I am new to Visual Basic and i am using VS 2008. I have a form with multiple (7) text boxes. What i would like to accomplish is basically, when i click on textbox 1 a predefined message would load to label1 and when i click on textbox2 label1 would now displays a different pre-defined message and etc... I've tried using the "focus" parameter of the textbox but it doesn't work. So i am thinking of using the cursor as a way to solve my problem but i don't know how to work with it. I found a very similar thread titled " Detect when the cursor is in a textbox/typing in webbrowser?" on this forum but i don't think it applies to my situation.
How can I set the Curor to be inside a TextBox as soon as it is created or relocated?
I dont want the user to have to click the TextBox to get the Cursor inside, the Cursor must allready be inside the TextBox ready to reseve text from the user.[url]...
In my application which is written on vb.net,i search for a word by typing the same in textbox here i have doubt to focus the cursor in the text box.. if i press first letter, say 'a', in textbox that will automatically search what are the words start with 'a'but after searching, cursor is not focussed in the textbox and to type another letter, say 'b', i need to bring my mouse pointer over the textbox and click so that i can type another letter.how can i keep my cursor focussed in the textbox unless i click somewhere else.
I am having some bizarre issues with getting focus on the child objects of some user controls that I am developing.The base control, DatePanel, consist of three radio buttons, a textbox, a combobox, and a datetimepicker.Depending on which radio button is selected depends on which of the other controls are visible.The default state of the control has the textbox and combobox visible.When I test the control in the VS test container, I click in the textbox, the cursor appears but I cannot type, if I click in the textbox again then I can type.I have tested enough to figure out that if I click on any other control and then click on the textbox I can type.I have tried adding a gotfocus event for the user control to both Focus and Select the textbox and neither does anything.This user control is on several other user controls that are in development because I didn't catch the behave at the beginning.To make things a little stranger in one of the other controls, I found that if I set the tabindex of DatePanel A to 0 then I was able to type in the textbox after selecting it the first time, however if instead I click in the textbox of DatePanel B the cursor appears in that textbox but when I type the text appears in the textbox in DatePanel.
In terms of code on the DatePanel there are 6 properties and 3 events.The 6 properties return values of the fields on the DatePanel and the three events are for watching the state of the radio buttons.Other than that I did try adding the GotFocus event to no avail.I can provide any code that is needed but between myself and my colleagues we couldn't see anything that would have any influence over the control focus.
I am checking if one of the function keys is pressed in the KeyDown event of a TextBox using the following If e.KeyCode >= Keys.F1 And e.KeyCode <= Keys.F12 Then 'do something here End If This works fine, except when I press F10 the cursor in the textbox freezes (ie. stops blinking) & doesn't free up until another key is pressed. Does Windows use this key for some other functionality that causes this behavior?
I am trying to insert a character at the end of a textbox string. The character gets inserted ok but the cursor moves to the beginning at the text. Is there someting I am doing to cause this.
