View 1 Replieswhat I want is the following:
1. I have this form: img1
2. I filled up this form navigating with the tab key. I reach the last cell of the datagridview (dgv): img2
3. now, when I press enter, a new row is adding to the dgv and the first cell of this row has the focus and the cursor is blinking: img3 (while pressing tabs in the dgv, the current cell is always in edit mode, I don't need to do an extra click, I can write immediatly)
4. but my problem is that when I press the left arrow key at the end of the first row, a new row is adding to the dgv in this case too: img4
5. that is what I want to prevent, but the navigating with the arrow keys (switching between cells) should not be disabled, it just should not add a new row to the dgv.
6. and here my related codes:[code]
I think if I press the left arrow key, that fires up the cellvalidating event and after that the cellendedit event. I 'd like to manage this so that if the current cell is the 5th (e.ColumnIndex=5) then it should detect what was pressed (arrow key or enter). If enter then add new row, if arrow key (left) then cellendedit and switch to another cell but in the same row (of course if more rows existing up and down keys are possible).
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.
What did I do wrong below? When I pass the enter key but for somehow the enter key event doesn't get triggered.

I have a function that allows a user to enter numeric vallues and also a period for the decimal points but I also want to allow for users to enter the minus sign to allow users to enter negative values . How would I go about it.

Dim chkstr As String = "0123456789."
If chkstr.IndexOf(eChar) > -1 OrElse eChar = vbBack Then

View 3 RepliesI have to create a form that I enter the price of gas each month over a year. I enter the price in a text box and click the enter button to send the price to a list box immediatley and use an array. I have the following code but I don't think it's working with the array correctly as it will let me enter the information but doesn't stop letting me enter after the 12 prices. I am really having a hard time trying to figure out how to set up this input for an array and make it all work.

I am using a picture box. I want to be able to use the Space or Enter key to change the image in it. For that, I try to use the keydown function as follow:
Private Sub ChestWindow_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.NumPad1[code]....
is the function which changes the image. It works well when I press '1' on my numeric part of the keyboard as a test.The issue is that when I press Space or Enter, the form containing the picturebox closes. (I've already put the keyPreview property to True)
Basically I have a routine that validates an XML document, here is the code:

If you look at the XSD file you'll see that the element ID is supposed to mandatory in that I have set minoccurs to 1. However when I run the code this doesn't seem to be flagged as an error. Also I get 20 errors like Could not find schema information for the element Employees etc.
I'am using the NumericUpDown_Validating event to cancel mouse clicks on the up and down arrows of the control.The idea is that the NumericUpDown control will stop incrementing when the base of a form reaches the bottom of the screen. That works, however the textvalue keeps incrementing. Why does the text keep incrementing and how do I stop it?
Private Sub NumericUpDown5_Validating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As .ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles NumericUpDown5.Validating
Dim y As Integer

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?
View 2 RepliesI have a VB.Net program that manually sends email via the MS Exchange Server. When an email is sent it will always have at least 1 pdf file attached to it. After all the emails have been sent (which could be alot), the pdf files are moved to an archived directory.My problem that seems to be occurring is that some of the attachments are not being moved because they are "locked" by another process. I'm assuming this "other" process is the Exchange server handling the pdf attachment but I'm not positive about this.How can I check to see if the attachment was successfully depositied into the Exchange server?

-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.
I'm writing a part of an application for a movie ticket program.
Basically, I have to write an If statement verifying the age put in a textbox, based on a radiobox that is checked.
So, if the radiobox "PG" is checked, the age in the textbox has to be equal to or greater than 12. If "Restricted" is checked, then the textbox has to be equal to or great than 17.
I have a textbox, a standard button and a toolstrip containing a couple of buttons. In the validating event of the textbox i coded to check whether it is blank. If yes then it shows a message 'Enter Value'. When the standard button is clicked while the textbox is empty, it's validating properly and showing the message but when the toolstripbutton is clicked it's not not validating the textbox and no message is being shown. It seems that I gotto write the validation code explicitly in the toolstripbutton_click event which is too troublesome when there are multiple textboxes and toolstripbuttons on a single form. What I want to know is whether the textbox_validating can be fired while the toolstripbutton is clicked? Handling toolstrips is really a headache. I'm badly in need of it.
View 3 RepliesI have a page where a user can either select a vendor via dropdown or enter a vendor number via textbox. One or the other must have a value. I can do this in javascript easily but how can I do this using a custom validator provided by ajax all on the client side?
Edited:
Protected Sub ImageButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles ImageButton1.Click
If Page.IsValid Then
//save stuff

why the following Sub does not work as expected. It has no compile errors but it does not work. It suppose to validate a password entered by a user on a login form with users password in a table called 'passwd' in the LgaPayroll database. If the password entered matches what is in the password field of the 'passwd' table then it will display a form else, it will tell the user 'The password you enter was invalid". My problem is; even when you entered a password that is in the 'passwd' table, it is tells you 'The password you enter was invalid'. Below is the Sub:
Private Sub btnOK_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOK.Click
' Set the SelectCommand properties...
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand = New SqlCommand()

I have a MDIParent form and 2 child forms. One of them,form1, has a textbox for which certain validations are present in the validating event. The other one has a button on it. When I try to navigate from form1 to form2, the validating event is firing twice for the first time. Is there a way to make it fire only once. And also, this event fires whenever I try to close the mdi parent form Attached is a sample project.

I have had a look over some posts in here on a similar theme as to my question but none of them are getting me any further forward. All I am trying to do is make sure that when a phone number is entered in a textbox that it conforms to the following formats:
1) #### ### #### (All numbers)
2) ##### ###### (All numbers)
3) ###### (All numbers)
I am trying to validate a string that has been inputted into a text box to make sure there is nothing but alphabetical charecters in the textbox. The following code only checks the first character in the textbox...
If Char.IsLetter(textbox1.Text) = False Then
MsgBox("Error! Invalid charecters present")
Exit Sub
End If
I was wondering if there was any way that i could turn this into some sort of loop so that it checks all of the charecters present within the textbox?
I'm a beginner using VS2010 Express. Using a windows form, I'd like to be able to validate a textbox against a column of data in an existing SQL table when the user selects a submit button. To my surprise, a google search revealed very little-- a few instructions using C#, but I'd really like to continue learning VB (only background is with VBA).
