I have a "Load" button and a TextBox on a form. I want when the user clicks the "Load" button on the form all the file and sub directories that i have typed in the TextBox to put them on a treeview. I can't find a way to do this. I am using vb.net at coding.

I've built a on-screen keyboard for a surveillance system made in VBA. I need it so that when the user clicks on the textbox to enter the data, the on-screen keyboard I've made, shows up. Thanks!
Check out the _Enter() event that fires when a user clicks inside the textbox control.
Private Sub TextBox1_Enter()
frmKeyboard.Show
End Sub
For a more complete solution, you may want to wrap the keyboard showing/hiding events in a VBA class so you can more easily apply it to the different text boxes on your form. That way you don't have to repeat all of your code for each text box on your form. Just something to explore for down the road. :-)
I have Access form with comboboxes, textboxes and buttons. In the comboboxes I have the LimitToList property set to false, because in some situations I need to add some texto, and because of that, I need to validate the content of the comboxes and I'm using the OnClick event.
However if I change the text in the combobox and the click on the "Exit" or "New" button, it fires the OnClick event.
I would like to know if it's possible to the OnClick event only fires when I really click on a line of the combobox or press the Enter key, instead of firing when I click other button after changing the texto of the combobox.
Thanks :)
You can set your validation on update property of combo box. So whenever you change your combo box content it automatically checks for the validation.
I'm looking for a VBA script that will run whenever I click away from any of ActiveX textboxes in the document. Another alternative would be to have it run whenever I click on any textbox (without clicking away).
How can it be done without assigning subs to each textbox individually?
Double click on your textbox and it will bring up the default method for that textbox, which in my testing is Textbox1_Change(). This method will run every time you type anything into the textbox.
You see two dropdown boxes at the top of the vba editor. Drop down on the one on the right and you'll see all the other available methods for the textbox, one of which is LostFocus which I reckon will suit your purposes. Clicking on that creates a sub that will execute every time the textbox loses focus. See how you go with that. Cheers
I have a few different userforms in Excel 2007 right now and was wondering if I could add a "?" button next to the close symbol in the userform.
Alternatively, is there a way to display some text when I hover over a specific label
The form property "WhatsThisButton" displays the question mark icon next to the close button, but this does nothing without creating an actual help file and assigning it to your form, this is not an easy thing to do. Far easier is to display text as you have described, each control has a "controlTipText" property that will display whatever text you enter in there, when your user hovers their mouse over the control
I have a form with a button which adds text boxes in addition to the 8 text boxes already on the form which are named Textbox1 through 8. When I launch the application and enter the first textbox, I can tab through all the way from 1 - 8.
When I click my button it programmatically creates a textbox below the last textbox with appropriate name such as Textbox9 for the ninth, Textbox10 for the tenth etc.
However when a textbox is added via the button, tabbing through the controls skips from the eighth, to any buttons on the form, and then to the created textbox. Any idea why this happens and how I can resolve it? I've tried google to no avail. Please let me know if you need any code, thank you.
Thanks to Daniel Cook and Grim, I solved my issue by setting the tabindex to match the textbox number, however I also found that setting TabStop to false on the buttons and controls helped me to keep the tab focus within the text boxes.
