Excel TextBox Font Changes When In Focus And Out Of Focus??
Hi All,
I am using a TextBox within an Excel Sheet and did set the font property to "Terminal" with size 22. When in focus, it seems to be OK but when I click somewhere else in the spreadsheet (TextBox losing focus) the font change. Why is that? I want the font to be the same in-focus or out-of-focus. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been playing with this for a while but could not figure it out. By the way, I am using Office 2003.
Thank you.

Hi all,
In my application, I have a form which has a treeview & webbrowser controls.
The treeview functions as a menu, and on the node click event, a page is loaded to the webbrowser.

Can anyone help me with a problem getting lotus to receive the focus. I have a macro running in word that composes a draft email in lotus and sends in leaving a copy in the sent mail folder.

Moving Focus To A New Ie Screen
The problem is this. I am writing a program that pulls information from a website. One part of the information can only be pulled by clicking a button on the site which opens up a new window and the data is in that new window of ie. I can find the Hwnd of the new window no problem, but i don't know how to move control over to that new window so i can get the data from it.
I tried
Set oIE = SendMessage(lhWndP, WM_GETOBJECT, 0&, 0&)
but it doesn't seem to make oIE be that instance of ie.
Any thoughts? I've checked all over the search function but haven't been able to find something similar to this.
Thanks!!
Moving The Focus To The Next Control
Does anyone know how to move the focus to the next enabled control on a form.
The only way I know of is to add some code to the keydown event of the control and look if the user typed the ENTER key and if so move the focus to the next control, but then I have to loop through all the controls on the form and find the first enabled control.
Is there an easier way?

How To Stop Cursor Keys Moving Focus ?
I am writing a program where an object can be moved round the screen. I first did this using command buttons and then wanted to add the option of using the keyboard cursor keys.
KeyAscii and/or KeyCode worked for most keys but not the cursor keys which didn't seem to generate any events. I got something working using an API call (GetAsyncKeyState).
The bit which still bugs me is that when the user presses the cursor keys, as well as moving the on-screen object, it also moves focus round the various command buttons.
Can anyone suggest how to stop this happening ?
Moving Focus Without Knowing Control's Name (like A Nextfocus Method)
I've read a bunch of posts relating to TAB, tabstop, and tabindex. They all are trying to do something different to what I need.
What I would like to do is move the focus to the next tabindex on my form regardless where the current focus is (emulate the pressing of TAB).
Can anyone help with moving the focus around without knowing the name of the control? I guess the best way to describe what I want to do is have a nextfocus method.
Cheers,

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!

Textbox Focus
I know how to find out if a button has focus with SendMessage and BM_STATE, but is there a way to determine if a textbox has focus?
If Textbox Has Focus Then..
Hoping someone can help me.
I want to draw something with a different linewidth if a textbox has the focus at runtime.
At the moment I have :
VB Code:
.DrawWidth = 1If .ActiveControl Is .Text1(0) Then .DrawWidth = 2If .ActiveControl Is .Text1(1) Then .DrawWidth = 3
But this causes a problem if the textbox values in the textboxes are the same.
It will select a draw width of 2 and then 3 because both textboxes have the same input.
I can't use Private Sub Text1_GotFocus(Index As Integer) as the point at which I need to check it is deep in the code.
Has anyone got any suggestions for me?

Textbox Has Focus
could somebody please point out a method by which I can find the text box / control that has focus?
Textbox Which ALWAYS Has Focus
I'm having a problem (obviously) with keeping focus on a window, and more importantly on a textbox. I've tried everything I can possibly think of but it's just not doing it. First, the window is always on top. Then I've got SetFocus and SetForeGroundWindow all over, on a timer, in the form and textbox's LostFocus events, and in the form's Paint event. The problem is the program starts with Windows and upon starting another startup program will sometimes steal focus (though everything stays behind my window), then I can't get focus back into the textbox. And since this is a security program that is disabling the mouse, special keys, taskbar, everything, I just can't get focus back to the textbox, and to exit the program you hafta type the password in, so you're just stuck. Any ideas?
TextBox Focus
I have a text box with a vertical scroll bar. When the text in the box becomes long enough that you have to use the scrollbar, it automatically focuses on the top of the box, not on the bottom where the new text is. Can someone tell me how to have it focus on the bottom?
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 ......

Return Focus To Textbox Just Used
Hi,
I'm writing a dB program and I need to check to see if the entered values are numeric. If they are then the user can proceed. If not, then I want the program to:
a)display an error message alerting him/her that the values were incorrect.
b)return the cursor to the textbox for revision.
Code:
Private Sub txtQty_AfterUpdate()
If txtQty.Text <> "" And IsNumeric(txtQty.Text) = False Then
MsgBox "Qty must be a number"
Me.txtQty.SetFocus
Me.txtQty = ""
End If
End Sub
The problem is that it isn't returning the cursor to txtQty. The cursor just stays wherever it was when the MsgBox popped up. I have also tried doing this with txtQty_LostFocus, but this didn't solve the problem.
Ultimately it would be better to test it before the user leaves the text box. Would this be done by looking for a mouse click event?
Thanks for any input.

Disabling Textbox Focus.
We have a need to keep users from clicking into a textbox.
Its a multiline textbox control, and the user still needs to be able to use the scroll bar, so setting its enabled property to false wont work.
Basically, we need the user to be able to use the scrollbar in the textbox, but not be able to change any text in the text box, and if possible, prevent them from even getting a cursor in the textbox.
Any suggestions?
Textbox Lose Focus
I'm using a multiline textbox to allow my users to enter some notes, and would like to allow them to enter tabs to indent the text. When I just use a single textbox (or set the TabStop property to false for all other controls) this seems to work fine, and a tab is inserted into the textbox. However if another control on the form has it's TabStop set to true, it shifts the focus to this control. I've tried to use the KeyPress and KeyDown events, but they don't seem to fire for the tab key. Is there a way to get around this? Any help would be appreciated.
Problem With TextBox Focus
I have a program with two forms. Form1 brings up form2 on a timer event and tries to set focus to a textbox on form 2. Form2 is shown modally. This works fine if form1 had the focus when the event was raised but doesn't work if, say for example Windows Explorer has the focus.
I have attached a simple project to try to show this to be run as follows:
1. Run WinExplorer in a small window.
2. Run the project.
3. Give focus to WinExplorer by clicking on it.
4. After 5 seconds form2 is shown on a timer and should set focus to the text box on form2.
If you do the same without giving Winexplorer focus it is fine.
Any suggestions on what to do to ensure that the textbox on form2 gets forcus?
I've tried a couple of API calls to try to solve it (SetForegroundWindow, SetActiveWindow, SetFocus) without any success.
Any help appreciated.

Textbox Loosing Focus
txtFind is a textbox that is used for search purposes (ie if a value is entered and the text box looses focus, a grid appears displaying a range of results). However, if no value is entered and it looses focus, i want the focus to be set on another text box:
If txtFind.Text = "" Then
txtCustomerCode.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
However, this generates the error: "Invalid procedure call or argument", is there anything i can do to alleviate this? thanks in advance for any help!let me know if any additional detail is required.

Disabling Textbox Focus
Hello,
Is there any way to disable focus of a textbox (for example, if the user clicks the textbox, the blinking text curser won't appear)? I want the textbox to look like it's there but act like it's just a piece of the background until the user performs a particular action.
Thanks in advance,
