Text Dissapears Form Textbox When I Tab Or Click Into Another Textbox
The title says it all really.
I enter text into txtName and then I want to enter text into txtInitial so I either tab to it or click into it and when I do the entry in txtName just dissapears.!!!???!!
I am setting textbox proerties at runtime...
Code:
With txtAddMemName
.Text = ""
.TabIndex = 0
End With
Make sure the textbox is empty....Text = ""
Set the TabIndex....TabIndex = 0 ....and so on
I have all the textbox properties in Private Sub TextBoxProperties() so that the form load section is easier to read.
Is that not right?
Click On Textbox, Highlight Text
Anyone know how to click on the textbox and it'll highlight the text? Or better yet, it'll automatically add it to the clipboard?
Select All Text When Click On Textbox?
Is there a way to make all the text in a textbox selected as soon as the user clicks on the field?
Thanks!
P.S. This question is really the result of a larger problem. I have some comboboxes (style 1-simple combo) loaded with string values that work fine on Windows 98 but that only display a single character/digit on Windows 95 and do not appear to work properly. Any tips for getting simple comboboxes to work effectively in Windows 95 so that I don't have to switch these comboboxes to textboxes?
Again, thanks!
Selection Of Text In Textbox On Double Click
I'm writing a program to control an LED board in my office.
I have a textbox in which I use communication codes like <CLR RED> to indicate a change in color for a serial LED sign. After submitting the form, those codes are translated into the proper codes for the sign.
What I'd like to do is have the text box treat the <CLR RED> string as one unit. So, when a user clicks or double clicks in between the < > symbols, everything is highlighted from one symbol to the other. Right now double clicking especially messes with things, because it selects from space to space.
For example, when double clicking on "RED" in "<CLR RED>U99.5FM Radio", the textbox would automatically select from "RED" to the beginning of "Radio" instead of "<CLR RED>"
Any ideas?
Thanks!

How To Select A Textbox's Whole Text For A Mouse Click Or A Tab
Hi Friends,
I have a form designed very well, but a minor cosmetic change is required, need some help... I have actually 2 questions, here they are...
1) I have set the TabOrder for my controls and when a text box is clicked or selected through a Tab key, though the cursor moves to the TextBox, the text that is already there in that is not getting selected. How to select the text inside a Textbox when I click on it or when I select it by means of the "Tab" key?
2) I have several frames for my Form and I have text boxes inside the frames. I want to set the Mnemonic for the Frame, but when the Alt+Key combination is used, I want to automatically set the focus to a control of that frame... For eg:
Let's say Frame1 is the Frame and Text1 is the text box which Frame1 holds, I have set the Mnemonic for Frame1 as 'F' (by specifying &Frame1 as the Caption). But when the user presses Alt+F, I want to shift the control to the text box. How can I do this?
Thank you,

Textbox Right-Click
Very simple (I hope...) question:
How do I disable a right-click menu for a regular textbox?
I have a textbox that needs its font color, so I can't disable it, and I can't let users select the box, so I have to lock it...
The only problem is, they can still right-click (which is more of just a "cosmetic" issue if you ask me, but I thought it would be better to post this under general). Basically, I just want this box totally untouchable by the user, even right-clicking.
Thanks!

Textbox Click Event
I've read a number of posts regarding textbox events, but haven't found what I need...which leads me to belive that it may not be possible.
On my form I have a textbox (txtRoute) where the user enters a string. I have a column of text boxes (txtRte1-6), I'd like the user to be able to click on one of the txtRte1-6 textboxes and have the text from txtRoute populate the text property for that textbox.
I've tried
Code:
Private Sub txtRte1_Click()
txtRte1.Text = txtRoute.Text
txtTerm1.SetFocus
frmWorkOrder.Repaint
End Sub
but the event doesn't even fire.
Am I trying to do something that the control isn't designed to do?
Thanks in advance

How Do I Ignore A Right-click On A Textbox?
I'm making an application that allows the user to insert things like [NAME] in a text in a textbox that wil later be replaced by a name stored in a database. This looks somthing like this: Hello [NAME], ..... Regards [NAME2].

When I click the left button after that my own popup menu. I would like to disable the original popup menu and replace it with my own. Is this possible? And if so, how? Thanks in advance.
How To Disable Right Click In Textbox

HOWTO: Suppress Default Pop-up Menu When Using Custom Menu
Q191670
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Visual Basic Learning, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for Windows, versions 5.0, 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
Some Visual Basic controls, such as the TextBox, have a default pop-up menu that will automatically be display when you alternate-mouse click on the control. This article demonstrates one way to disable this default pop-up menu in order that either no menu or only a custom pop-up menu is displayed.
MORE INFORMATION
When you alternate-mouse click on the TextBox control, its default pop-up menu will be displayed. Visual Basic does not have a property or any other built-in mechanism that directly disables this feature. However, setting the control's Enabled property to False will prevent the menu from being displayed although this allows the user to see that the control is disabled.
One workaround is to use the Windows LockWindowUpdate API in conjunction with the Enabled property. The LockWindowUpdate function disables or re- enables drawing in a specified window. After the operation is complete, the control is re-enabled and the LockWindowUpdate API is called a second time to resume drawing of the control.
Steps to Create Sample Project
Start a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
Add a TextBox control to Form1.
Choose Menu Editor from the Tools menu and create a menu named mnuPopUp on Form1. Deselect the Visible CheckBox and add items such as the following:
File
New
Open
Add the following code to the code window of Form1:
Private Declare Function LockWindowUpdate Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hwndLock As Long) As Long
Private Sub mnuOne_Click()
Text1.Text = "Menu One was clicked"
End Sub
Private Sub mnuTwo_Click()
Text1.Text = "Menu two was clicked"
End Sub
Private Sub Text1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, _
X As Single, Y As Single)
If Button = vbRightButton Then
' Avoid the 'disabled' gray text by locking updates
LockWindowUpdate Text1.hWnd
' A disabled TextBox will not display a context menu
Text1.Enabled = False
' Give the previous line time to complete
DoEvents
' Display our own context menu
PopupMenu mnuPopup
' Enable the control again
Text1.Enabled = True
' Unlock updates
LockWindowUpdate 0&
End If
End Sub
Save and run the project.
Alternate-mouse click on Text1. Only the custom menu is displayed. The standard editing menu is not shown.
An alternative approach to supressing the default pop-up menu is to subclass the control. Through subclassing, you can monitor for the appropriate mouse messages and handle them accordingly. See the REFERENCES section below for more information on this topic.

Automatic Click After Entering Textbox
Hi there,
I just want to know how would I go about doing this: after I enter info in my textbox, I would like to press the enter key and it would automatically perform the functions that my command button will do (i.e. a search); rather than tabbing over to the command button and then clicking on it.
Textbox.Value Vs. Textbox.Text
For a textbox, what's the difference between its Value property and its Text property? When do I use:
txtTextBoxName.Value
and when do I use:
txtTextBoxName.Text
Thanks!

Click Event Triggering LostFocus On Textbox
I have a form with a button labelled newgame. Basically it will just
set the caption value of a textbox (name calc1) and will empty the contents of the
textbox. When I click the button it keeps subtracting a score from the calc1 textbox and doesn't
set the values back to what they should be from the newgame button. I think it is because clicking
the button is triggering the lost focus event of the calc1 textbox - Is there some other way around
this - so that I can reset the values in these fields without it calling the lost focus event for the
fields. I have tried using a flag in the lostfocus event as well. If newgame_flag = 1 then exit sub
but didn't work either. Code for the click event is very simple : here it is -
Code:
Private Sub cmdnew_Click()
player1.Caption = "301"
calc1.Text = ""
Player1Total = 0
Score1 = 0
player2.Caption = "301"
calc2.Text = ""
Player2Total = 0
Score2 = 0
DataGrid1.Visible = False
End Sub
Textbox Wont Take Focus On Mouse Click
Are there any known conditions where a simple textbox will not get the focus when you click on it? I can tab to it, type in it, tab away and then back again with no problem. However, it does not get focus on a mouse click. All other controls on the form - command buttons and combo boxes - all get the focus when clicked. If I add a new textbox - all properties at default and not bound to anything - same thing; it wont get focus when clicked. There is no code running that could disable a textbox.
Is my form corrupted? Any idea what's going on?
Thanks,
Paul.

Disabling Double-click In Rich Textbox Control
When you double-click on a picture in the rich textbox control, it calls Paint and opens up the picture in edit mode within the rich texbox. I have not tried this with other objects that I've cut-and-pasted to the control, but I would expect that other objects would call the program that they're associated with and open up an instance of that program within the rich textbox. I would like to disable this feature - is there a property or an API call that can do this fairly painlessly, or is it more involved than that?

Let me know if you need more info. I appreciate your help! Kim
