Moving Controls At Runtime
I have worked with applications in the past that allow the user to move/modify controls at runtime and allow those modifications to be saved. For example, the user may want to add a text box to a form and once added, the change is saved so that every time the user opens the form the text box appears. All of this is done without the user actually being able to view/modify the code. Does anyone know how this is achieved?

Moving And Resizing Controls At Runtime?

Moving Controls At Runtime - Drawing 'Handles'
Hi, in my program, I let the user move controls around a form at runtime.

Currently, when the click on a control, I display 8 'little boxes' or handles at the corners of the control, and middles of its sides, like in VB, to let the user know it is selected, and so that the user can then pullthe handles to stretch and resize the control!

I am using a UserControl for each handle, which makes it easy to catch the click events, and to keep the handles on top of all the controls!

However, now I let theuser select LOTS of controls, and it takes A LONG TIME (on my p2 333) to dynamically load all these user controls.

anyone got a better method? possibly using GDI to 'draw' the handles?

Moving Cursor In A TextBox
Hi everybody!
I'm trying to write an "On screen keyboard" for an application I have to delelop.
Using buttons I can easly modify the text property of a TextBox control (Text1) writing whatever I want.
I can also start a new line with the code line "Text1.text = Text1.text & vbCrLf" but I cannot move the cursor one char left or right through the string using the Chr(26) or Chr(27)!
If I try "Text1.text = Text1.text & Chr(26)" a non printable char is displayed and the cursor shifts always right .
I would like simply to simulate the arrow keys...
Can anybody help me?
Thanks

Moving From Flexgrid To Textbox
I have a situation where I've got one flexgrid control (call it flexSearch), and two data controls (call them dbFull and dbSearch). flexSearch is populated by dbSearch, and is filled according to a query. dbFull is the entire database, and is linked to a bunch of text fields (CompanyName, ContactName, etc).

Here's what I'd like to do: The user clicks on a record in flexSearch, and dbFull jumps to the corresponding ID and populates the bound text fields accordingly. The only way I can think of to do it is to page through the entire database until I come up with an ID that matches the one that was clicked in the flexgrid; however, I'm dealing with around 130,000 records, so I would rather avoid that processor overhead every time somebody clicks a field.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Prevent Cursor In Textbox From Moving
like in the thread title,
is there anyways to prevent the cursor from shifting or moving within a textbox??

for example, i press right or left arrow buttons for some reasons, but i do not want to move the cursor in the textbox that is used for input....maybe it is preferable to maintain the cursor at the end of the string that the user typed or backspace.

Moving A Textbox In A Flexgrid With The Mouse ...
OK now I have worked out how to move my textbox around my flexgrid with the cursor keys, I want to take it one step further and allow the user to click a cell, which will in turn move the textbox to that cell.

I'm using the flxgrids MouseMove event, and obviously know the .Left and .Top of the grid itself, but is there any way of knowing what the row and column is where the user has clicked ?

E.g. if they click the cell in Row 3 Col 2, can I find out that it IS Row 3 and Col 2 ?

Thanks in advance ......

Textbox In Coolbar Runtime
I'm currently using a coolbar with 3 bands (and toolbars), all being set up run time. Because I'm building a database app, it would be interesting to place a textbox on the coolbar for query purposes. I'm having some problems to declare the textbox runtime. I'm guessing it's the .container property, but at the moment I'm quite lost. Anybody who has a hint for me?

Name Address Age Salary

13/03/2002

John Creek hill 25 30,000
Mary Valley West 39 35,000

Total ===> 65,000
___________________________________________


Example of how I am trying to code it

rtb1.Font.Bold = True
rtb1.Font.Underline = True
rtb1.Text = "Name " & vbTab & "Addrress " & vbTab & "Age" & vbTab & " Salary

rtb1.Font.Bold = False

I know when I do rtb1.Font.Underline = False I am setting this attribute False for the whole textbox, but how do I vary it.

Note:
My array is populated with data read for a file. The size of this file will vary but will generally be in excess of 2000 lines.

Loading A Textbox At Runtime

Creating Textbox In Runtime
Hi!,

On my form I have text1(0). When the user clicks a command button, another textbox is loaded below it. The code I use for this is:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Static Index As Integer
Index = Index + 1
Load Text1(Index)
Text1(Index).Visible = True
Text1(Index).Move Text1(Index - 1).Left, Text1(Index - 1).Top + Text1(Index - 1).Height
End Sub

The user can create as many text boxes as they want.

Now my problem is when the user clicks on a 'Showform2' button. I also have a textbox array, text2(0), on form2. I want the same number of textboxes to load on form2 as are on form1, and the contents of the textboxes on form2 to be the same as those on form1.

The code I use at present, on the form2_load() event, is:

Private Sub Form_Load()
For Index = 0 To Form1.Text1().Count - 1
Text2(Index)= Form1.Text1(Index)
Next Index
End Sub

But this gives me an error: 'Control array element '1' doesn't exist'. if I create more than 1 textbox on form1.

How can I load the same number of boxes on form2 as form1?

Thanks for any help!

MultiLine TextBox At Runtime
Hi guys,

I am trying to change TextBox's Multiline Style at runtime.
Here is what i am trying to do..


public Const ES_MULTILINE = &H4&
public Const ES_AUTOVSCROLL = &H40&

Dim dwStyle as Long
dwStyle = GetWindowLong(txtTextBox.hWnd, GWL_STYLE)
SetWindowLong txtTextBox.hWnd, GWL_STYLE, dwStyle Or ES_MULTILINE Or ES_AUTOVSCROLL




But it's not working.. I tried the same
code with ES_NUMBER. It works fine.

Is there anyway to change the Multiline property
at runtime ?

Thanks in Advance,

Poochi..
