I have an application that has more than 20 text boxes used as inputs(numeric) ( in a form with multiple tabs), and from these numeric inputs I calculate many parameters and display them in other text boxes.The question is how can I trigger an event that will run the calculation procedures each time any of the text boxes numeric values change?( with out having to make procedure for each text box validated eventIs there some thing like a common validation event for any entry in any text box?
I am having a problem with validating multiple text boxes in using VB.net. I have all boxes validated to display errors if the calculate button is click and the boxes are blank and I have each individual text box to display an error message if the appropriate requirements (values) are not entered. The issue I am having, I don't want these errors to pop up when a user clicks the clear button to re-enter new values,in which this occurs on each box. Below is the code I have for validating each textbox. If a user clicks the clear button (in which clears all text boxes) I still have my errors displayed to them in which I don't want
Private Sub txtLoanAmount_TextChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtLoanAmount.TextChanged If IsNumeric(Me.txtLoanAmount.Text) Then
I am writing below code for validating compulsary field account no. in form.User's requirement is set focus back on field when error comes :
If txtAccountNo = "" Then MessageBox.Show("Account no filed can't be left empty") txtAccountNo.SetFocus Exit Sub End If
It's working properly. But suppose user don't want to fill form and exiting from application.Message box keep on appearing till user enters account no.
I have a problem in that I have five text boxes pertaining to a customer/client, where there is a txtbox for each: Name; Address; City: State; Zipcode. Of course all the txtboxes are "" at initialization. I also have 2 combo boxes and a 2D array for prices which I have finally been able to understand the array logic. I have also been able to do my necessary calculations for.
My problem. The customer information is first to be validated as all being strings and not empty. The combo boxes I was able to get to tie to my 2 dimentional array and get good output and calculations for a finished product. I am just having problems with the error messages. Also I don't want summary totals unless the data is valid. In other words, the user must enter a complete address and make decisions about the two combo boxes, both of which are needed to use the price array. I will change the comboBoxes to represent dress sizes,"S" "M" "L" and "XL" and the other combobox to describe colorRedSatin or colorBlackBroadcloth with a two dollar difference in price between them. 'That would be similar enough to the problem I need to solve.
Basically I do not want any numbers to appear for price of the dress or addons to the dress unless all validation is complete. I do understand how the radio objects work for discounts and check boxes for accumulating accessories. The program should not give any totals untill the user has input all customer information and made decisions about input from combo boxes and selected calculate from menu. Right now it calculates and puts zeros in when choices are not made from the combo boxes by the user. It will include correct amounts for radio buttons and checkboxes if anything is entered. I need error messages for customer inputs and combo box inputs (if not selected from list of option in drop down for choices) (basically if nothing was put in a text box, the text box is empty. Of course the problem is the user must enter something in all 5 textboxes and not get multiple error messages in rapid succession to fix. We can't always count on our users putting in good data.. When I tried a Do While False with ORs I was getting endless looping. I could not get it to work because it will never execute because the control never passes back to the user.
I don't want to list a series of If/Thens becauser the user will see about 7 messages, where he/she only needs to be fed one at the time. I hope someone can give me some direction. I just need guidance on how to validate the text boxes and combo boxes. The code is analyzed with a "Calculate" on the menustrip. I would like for the calculation not to calculate and put outputs into the summery text boxes unless all textboxes are filled and combo boxes are valid for all the customer information and combo box choices for my two combo boxes describing what is needed for the order to calculate. There are also the radiobuttons and checkboxes, DIMs, Const, Variables, but not having problems with that part I have my indexing problems on the combo boxes worked out also, so I am not concerned about those now except for getting the error messages when I should. I hope that I have described my issues fully. I am using visual studio 8 with Windows 7
It appears to me to be right but always returns true.
vb Private Function ValidateAllFieldsAreNotEmpty() As Boolean Dim groupboxes = Me.Controls.OfType(Of GroupBox)() Dim textboxes = groupboxes.SelectMany(Function(groupbox)
I need to trigger an event (clear some text boxes) when I click on the "ok" button in the MessageBox. Below is the event triggered messagebox code. A box pops up with the included text and an "OK" button. The program appears at this point to stop and wait for the click on "OK" MessageBox.Show("Check -Sender Information-data")
I don't have an example code, but recently figured out how to make a single sub handle the keydown event for multiple text boxes.What I would like to know is if it is simple enough to have the object name that is sending the event instead of "microsoft..text: 54654" (sender.ToString in a debug window) type of return. I don't know how to make use of that.
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?
I have a textbox control to take some input and a button to execute something. I want the button's click event will not work as long the validation to the textbox is successful.

I am facing a issue while using the "validating" event of the maskedtextbox. I have an MDI form, in which there is a main form and a form acting as bottom bar. The bottom bar comprises of buttons for moving to "previous" and "next" forms. If suppose in the main form i have a maskedtextbox and the initial focus is set on it, then on the click event of the button (next; which is on the bottom bar form), it calls the validating event of the maskedtextbox twice. In the validating event of the maskedtextbox, i am checking some validations and if it doesnt pass, then i set [e.cancel = true]. just let me know the reason behind the triggering of "Validating" event twice?
I have a validating event for a txtbox called txtname. If the user tries to leave txtname for another txt box without entering their name a messagebox comes up giving an error. I have an exit button which will when clicked ask you if you really want to leave then you can choose yes or no. I can't seem to figure out how to allow the user to click the exit button while leaving the txtname blank so it would bypass the error message and only bring up the exit prompt. Here's what I have coded for the validating event and the exit event.
Private Sub txtName_Validating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles txtName.Validating If IsNumeric(txtName.Text) Then
In WinForms I could handle the Validated event to do something after the user changed text in a TextBox. Unlike TextChanged, Validated didn't fire for every character change; it only fired when the user was done.Is there anything in WPF I can use to get the same result, an event raised only after the user is done changing the text?
i have a form hold some textboxes ,writed validating-event code and sometime set cancel=true in validatingnow,the problem is,when i click the close button of the form,the validating-event fired,and the form can't close when the validating set cancel=true,but this not i want.i think click "close" that meaning abandon all the form's data,so it not need validate.how can i do ?
We have a window that has a text box on it that the user must enter in valid data before going on. So we have put in a message box letting the user know that they have to enter in the correct data before going on in the Leave event. That works just fine, but when the user press ALT+F4, or presses the X in the upper right corner of the window it still goes through the event. We would not like for that to happen. When we were using VB6 the same code was in the lost focus, and when the user pressed ALT+F4, and the X the LostFocus event did not fire, or acted like it did not fire. We have also tried moving the code to the Validating event, but it behaives similar to the Leave event? how to close a window, and either have the Leave, LostFocus, and Validating events not fire when the user Presses ALT+F4, or the X

I designed a DataGridView under the name "dgvTarifa" and took a chance on trying Row Validating (tried Validated, CellEnter, CellLeave, RowEnter, RowLeave all count same) event. The purpose of the code is to load the selected values of the respective columns into three textboxes in order to rephrase/revalue those and update them by pressing a button. All works fine every single line of code there's nothing wrong except one logical thing.
When the form loads the RowValidating automatically fires because I have a function that Selects the table from the Database and it fills the DataSet by then attaching it to the datasourse of the "dgvTarifa" table. After setting the datasource of the datagridview, it automatically jumps to the RowValidating event which I DONT WANT TO! It first has to finish the whole function and later when the user enters with mouse or enters/leaves a row this has to be fired. (eventually already have the CellClick event with the same code below so only RowValidating has to work properly...)
Here's the code I use at row validating
Code: Private Sub dgvTarifa_RowValidating(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs) Handles dgvTarifa.RowValidating
I am having a problem with the cellvalidating event constantly firing when the datagrid is refreshed (since the trigger that fires the event is the originally selected cell losing focus).I would like to remove the event handler for this at certain points of my code so that it does not fire but the examples I have come across on MSDN don't appear to do anything, so I guess I must be doing something wrong.[code]
Winforms, VS2008 I have a mainform that has 2 usercontrols: UC1 and UC2.UC1 has a treeview with treenodes. UC2 has tabControl with few tabPages. Selecting different nodes displays different details view in the TabControl's TabPages. What I need is canceling the event when the user has selected a node in the treeview, then he selects another node (i want to be able to cancel this last event:selecting another node, all depending on a certain logic)I mean: When the user is working on a tabpage in the tabControl, when he clicks on a different node in treeview (different from the currently selected node), before displaying the new node's details in the TabControl, I perform some logic, then depending on that logic, I set
e.cancel = true in the UC2 Validating event handler. (Rememebr UC2 includes the TabControl and the user, supposedly, has the focus on a control somewhere in TabControl)
But mysteriously, the event gets never canceled and the user still moves to the next node, displaying its details in the TabControl, although I set e.cancel = true.
In a Windows Form application I have a Form with a UserControl that contains a child control. I have an event handler for the child control's Validating event. On the parent UserControl I call the ValidateChildren() method. But the event handler for the child control's Validating event does not run. The CausesValidation property is set to true on both the parent UserControl and the child control. Is there any reason why the Validating event handler would not run?
The child control is a custom control derived from Panel. It contains two RadioButton controls, both of which have their CausesValidation property set to true.
I have a custom text box component (inherits from system.windows.forms.textbox) that I created in vb.net (2005) that handles the input of numeric data. It works well.
I would like to suppress the validating and validated events from firing if the number hasn't changed. If a user is tabbing through the form and tabs from the text box, the validating/validated events are fired.
I was thinking that the text box could cache the value and compare it to what is listed in the text property. If they are different, then I would want the validating/validate events to fire. If they are the same, nothing is fired.
I can't seem to figure out how to suppress the event. I have tried overriding the OnValidating event. That didn't work.
Update:
Here is the custom text box class. The idea is that I want to cache the value of the text box on the validate event. Once the value is cached, the next time the user tabs through the box, the validating event will check to see if the _Cache is different from the .Text. If so that is when I would like to raise the validating event to the parent form (as well as the validated event). If the _cache is the same, then I don't want to raise the event to the form. Essentially the text box will work the same as a regular text box except that the validating and validated method are only raised to the form when the text has changed.
Public Class CustomTextBox #Region "Class Level Variables" Private _FirstClickCompleted As Boolean = False 'used to indicate that all of the text should be highlighted when the user box is clicked - only when the control has had focus shifted to it
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.

Im trying to make a program that allows the user to view additional information via moving the cursor over the label to view (make visble) additional information, in the form of text boxes and/or picture boxes. How will i go about doing this?
how to move info from text boxes on one form to binding source text boxes on another form. I am displaying array info in text boxes on one form and i need to add them to the database on another form. How do I do that?
I have a form that has a text box that I want to only allow users to enter a date and then a MessageBox.Show stating that their data was submitted when they press a submit button. I know that you can do this with a regular expression validation but I have no idea how to do this in Visual Basic. Can anyone offer how to do that?
-When adding a consignment, the system should generate the consignment number automatically in the format XY12-xAB, where x is a number that increases by 1 for each consignment AB is the Shipment Type (EA, SA or SF) and XY12 is the Office ID.I know how to validate it to be XY(digit)(digit) by using regular expression.
If Not Regex.IsMatch(txtShipConsignmentNumber.Text, "(?s)^(XY)d{2}$") Then MsgBox("Please enter a valid Shipment Consignment Number e.g XY12") txtShipConsignmentNumber.Select()
But not sure how to implement the other stuff required.
how do I validate that only letters and spaces have been entered into a text box.
Here is a sample of my
