I have a value in Form midPoint, on a Textbox. I want that value to transfer to a Label in Form rangeFinder when I hit the OK button.
Can this be done?
Off course it can be done .. Do this in your Button click event
rangefinder.label1.text = midpoint.textbox1.text
Try this:
Private Sub Ok_Click (sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
rangeFinder.Label1.Text = midPoint.Textbox1.Text
End Sub
Note that you may replace the form name with Me if you're executing this from any of the forms.
For example, if you are executing this from midPoint the sentence should be:
rangeFinder.Label1.Text = Me.Textbox1.Text
Add this code to your button OnClick() function:
rangeFinder.Label1.Text = TextBox1.Text
Your first form is named midPoint and your second form is named rangeFinder.Suppose the text box on the form midpoint is named midtext and the label on the form rangeFinder is named labelFind.
So you could do this on the click event of ok button:
rangeFinder.labelFind.Text = midpoint.midtext.text

I'm trying to create a non-definite number of textboxes in my program, place them in my form and later retrieve information from them.
I want to add one textbox at a time when I press a button.
I can add one textbox like this:
Private Sub Addsystem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Addsystem.Click
Form2.ShowDialog()
Dim mytext As New TextBox()
mytext.Location = New Point((OBstartfreq.Location.X), (OBstartfreq.Location.Y + 30))
Me.Controls.Add(mytext)
End Sub
Like this I can get only the text from the mytext textbox.
How can I make it that every time I press the button a new textbox will appear?
In load page event:
I read some data from DB and then add this data to Combo box then select an item as default and enable of combo box changes to false.
When I load this page, the item witch selected highlights with blue color.
How to remove this highlight?
You can modify its SelectionLength property, which gets or sets how many characters have been selected (highlighted).
Just set it to 0 after you have selected the default item and you should be good to go:
ComboBox1.SelectionLength = 0
EDIT:
In your case this code is executed before the Load event has finished. Due to this the form has not been rendered yet, which is why it is not working for you.
The simple fix is to add this in the form's Shown event too:
Private Sub Form1_Shown(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
ComboBox1.SelectionLength = 0
End Sub
If you don't want the caret to be in the beginning you can also add this line to set it to the end of the text:
ComboBox1.SelectionStart = ComboBox1.Text.Length
The proposed solution does not work in VB.NET 2016
The easiest way to do is to pass focus to another element like a label in the SelectedIndexChanged event
I have Two text Boxes named Text1,text2.Once I finished the value input into Text1 I would like to move the cursor automatically to Tex2.I don't like to put a maximum length for Text1,
The valued finished indication I would like in Text1 is Mouse click out of Text1.
Please help me to code it in vb.net
You need to set focus to the textbox2 on textbo1's lost focus event
Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus
TextBox2.Focus()
End Sub
or in other ways :
in form load put the code like this :
TextBox1.TabIndex = 0
TextBox2.TabIndex = 1
Reference:
GotFocus :Occurs when the control receives focus (occur when Cursor inside the textbox)
LostFocus :Occurs when the control loses focus(occur when Cursor leaves thetext box)
then simply you can redirect to the textbox2 from textbox1 by clicking the tab key
I want to be able to edit/delete/insert lines of text from a textfile by using listbox and textbox.
I want to display all the contents of the textfile per line in a listbox and when I click a line of text it will then display it in the textbox giving me the option to either edit or delete that line of text.
My insertion of text would be inserted after the last line of text being displayed in the listbox. Is this possible? I just want a starting point and I will continue it from there. Thanks in advance.
Here is an answer with a listview , button 9 is to fill Listview, listview click sends the text to textbox and button 10 saves it back to the listview
This is probably the simplest way to do what you want to achieve.
Private Sub Button9_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button9.Click
ListView1.HeaderStyle = ColumnHeaderStyle.None
ListView1.HideSelection = False
For i As Integer = 0 To 50
ListView1.Items.Add("Line number" & i.ToString)
Next
End Sub
Private Sub ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ListView1.Click
TextBox8.Text = ListView1.SelectedItems(0).Text
End Sub
Private Sub Button10_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button10.Click
ListView1.SelectedItems(0).Text = TextBox8.Text
End Sub
Probably a good starting point for you anyway and expand this code from here on.
Yes. It is possible. I would suggest to use already existing text editors rather than re-inventing the wheel. If you still want to go ahead and create a new one from start, then you can try the following.
Create a window form application in vb.net with ListBox control for showing the lines, a textbox control for entering the file name, a button to browse to the given file, a button on clicking on which the file content should get loaded. Refer file objects for this.
Utilise ContextMenu class in vb.net to allow right click to read selected listbox line and accordingly perform add/delete/edit operation by modifying the selected listitem value.
Good day everyone.
I need your help in this project I am into (a Visual Basic program with no database.) It just contains a Datagridview, a Textbox, and three buttons (an "Add" Button, a "Edit" and an "Update" Button).
1 . Is there any way (like using "for loop") to automatically assign DataGridView1.Item("item location") to the one edited and be updated?
2 . Or is it possible to just click an item in the Datagridview then it will be edited at that without passing it to a Textbox, and to be updated at that.
The DataGridViewCellEventArgs variable (e in the method stub the designer will generate for you) of the double click event of the cell has RowIndex and ColumnIndex properties which refer to the position of the cell you clicked.
Save those (in a class variable possibly or a local one if that's all you need) and then refer to them when you update the cell in your DataGridView, possibly like this MyDataGridView.Item(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex) or MyDataGridView.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(e.ColumnIndex) where e is the variable from the double click event handler.
For you cell double click event you could have something like this:
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellDoubleClick(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellDoubleClick
Using myEditor As New frmCellEditor(Me.DataGridView1.Item(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex).Value)
If myEditor.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Me.DataGridView1.Item(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex).Value = myEditor.NewCellValue
End If
End Using
End Sub
This will call a new instance of your editor and get a value from you. For the purpose of this demo I have made a form like this:
Public Class frmCellEditor
Public NewCellValue As Integer
Public Sub New(ByVal CurrentCellValue As Object)
InitializeComponent()
Me.TextBox1.Text = CStr(CurrentCellValue)
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.NewCellValue = CInt(Me.TextBox1.Text)
Me.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Call Me.Close()
End Sub
End Class
Which just has two buttons (Button1 = OK, Button2 = Cancel). When you click OK, it just returns the value 1 which then gets set as the value of the cell.
This is a VERY simplistic example, but it should provide you the basics of what you are trying to do.
UPDATE:
I updated the code for the editor interface so it will include handling for passing the value back and forth from the form with your datagridview.
In your project, make a new form called frmCellEditor. This forms has to have two buttons and a textbox (Make sure that the programmatic names match!). Replace the code with the code listed above. You will have to add Imports System.Windows.Forms above the class as well.
Amend the event handler for the cell double click event of your datagrid to pass the cell value when frmCellEditor is constructed (the line going ... New frmCellEditor(...).
How many columns does your DataGridView has?
Based on how you populate your DataGridView, I'll assume only 1.
Declare this on top of your form
Dim i as Integer
On your btnUpdate_Click Event (Just combine your Edit and Update button into One)
SELECT CASE btnUpdate.Text
Case "Update"
With DataGridView1
'Check if there is a selected row
If .SelectedRows.Count = 0 Then
Msgbox "No Row Selected for Update"
Exit Sub
End If
i = .CurrentRow.Index 'Remember the Row Position
Textbox1.Text = .item(0 ,i).value 'Pass the Value to the textbox
.Enabled = False 'Disable DataGridView to prevent users from clicking other row while updating.
btnUpdate.Text = "Save"
End With
Case Else 'Save
DatagridView1.Item(0,i).Value = Textbox1.Text
btnUpdate.Text = "Update"
END SELECT
Thanks for those who contributed to finding answers for this thread. I have not used your solutions for now (maybe some other time). After some research, I've found an answer for problem 2 (more user friendly at that):
2 . Or is it possible to just click an item in the Datagridview then
it will be edited at that without passing it to a Textbox, and to be
updated at that.
Here's what i did:
in Private Sub Form1_Load, just add:
yourDataGridView.EditMode = DataGridViewEditMode.EditOnEnter
in Private Sub yourDataGridView_(whatever event here: DoubleCellClick, CellContentClick, etc.) add:
DataGridView1(e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex).[ReadOnly] = False
DataGridView1.BeginEdit(False)
