I've found that the simplest method for testing whether a textbox has been populated by the user is to test the length of the text.
If Textbox1.Text.Length <= 0 then
Msgbox("An entry is required in Textbox1")
Textbox1.Focus
Exit Sub
End If
If spaces are also an invalid entry, a simple addition handles that case as well.
If Textbox1.Text.Trim.Length <= 0 then
Msgbox("An entry is required in Textbox1")
Textbox1.Focus
Exit Sub
End If

Hi,
I have a tabcontrol with 2 tab pages. First tab page has a populated listview control and 2nd tabpage I have a button. My aim is to select the 3rd item in the listview when I clik a button in 2nd tabpage. However I also want to highlight the selected item in listview. Therefore when I go back to 1st tab page from 2nd, the listview should got focused and the 3rd item should be higlighted. How could you do that?
When I primitavely select the item in listview (in code) while I am in 2nd tabpage, the item is not getting selected and no highlight of course.
Thanks.
What a curious mind needs to discover knowledge is noting else than a pin-hole.

There should be no problem with selecting an item in a listview from another tab. What may be happening is that when the 1st tab is selected, another control on the tab (or the tab itself) is receiving the focus. If that's true and the listview HideSelection property is True, the selected item would not be highlighted until the listview receives the focus.
You might check the tab sequence for all of the controls in the form to ensure the focus is going where you want it when each tab is selected. If that doesn't work, in the 1st tab's GotFocus event you could set the focus to the listview control.

Thanks for responding to my post.
It is still not working even I set the focus for the listview in tabcontrols tabpage. The following statement is not setting the selected item somehow. When I set the item and then when I go back to first tab where the listview is, the listview still doesn't receive the focuse even I set the (listview1.focus()) in tabpage Got_Focuse event procedure. IF listview had received teh focuse, the selected item should be highlighted automatically.
Private Sub ToolStripComboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripComboBox2.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim ICount As Int32 = 0
'**
ListView1.SelectedItems.Clear()
Me.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor
For Each LItem As ListViewItem In ListView1.Items
If LItem.SubItems(7).Text = ToolStripComboBox2.SelectedItem.ToString _
Or InStr(LItem.SubItems(7).Text, ToolStripComboBox2.SelectedItem.ToString) > 0 Then
'HERE IS HOW I SET THE X ITEM AS SELECTED IN LISTVIEW
ListView1.Items(ICount).Selected = True
'Here if user selects a song in the list it will be played while Media tab is focused
'
If TabControl2.SelectedTab Is TabPage7 Then '**
Call PlayMusic()
End If
Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
Exit Sub
End If
ICount += 1
Next
Me.Cursor = Cursors.Default
End Sub
Private Sub TabPage5_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TabPage5.GotFocus
Call PopulateSearchBox(ListView1, 7)
ListView1.Focus() 'HERE I SET THE FOCUSE FOR THE LISTVIEW
End Sub

Two items come to mind while reviewing the code.
1. The Listview1.SelectedItems.Clear statement in the ToolStripComboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged Sub appears to be unnecessary. If the listview MultiSelect property is set to False as it should be, the user's previous selection will remain selected until a new selection is made and the "ListView1.Items(ICount).Selected = True" statement is executed.
2. What is happening in the PopulateSearchBox procedure that is called in the TabPage5.GotFocus event? Is there something going on in that procedure that is affecting the listview item selection? Since the listview control is one of the parameters for that procedure, it looks suspect.
I think that exhausts my ideas on this issue. The only other suggestion I have is to set an appropriate Breakpoint and walk through the code to hopefully find where the listview selection is being lost.

Hi,
I want to read a cell-value from an Excel-worksheet in VB.NET 2005 with the following function:
Private Function strCellValue(ByVal strFilname As String, ByVal strWorksheet As String, ByVal strCell As String) As String
Dim dtDataTable As New DataTable
Dim dbConnection As OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim dbDataAdapter As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
dbConnection = New OleDb.OleDbConnection
dbConnection.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & "Data Source=" & strFilename & ";" & "Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR=NO'"
dbConnection.Open()
dbDataAdapter = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("Select * From " & "[" & strWorksheet & "$]", dbConnection)
dbDataAdapter.Fill(dtDataTable)
strCellValue = dtDataTable.Rows(intRow(strCell)).Item(intColumn(strCell)).ToString
dbConnection.Close()
End Function
with
Private Function intRow(ByVal strCell As String) As Integer
intRow = CInt(System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(strCell, "[A-Z]", "")) - 1
End Function
and
Private Function intColumn(ByVal strCell As String) As Integer
Dim intI As Integer
Dim strColumn As String
strColumn = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(strCell, "[0-9]", "")
intColumn = 0
For intI = 0 To strColumn.Length - 1
intColumn += (Asc(Mid(strColumn, strColumn.Length - intI, 1)) - 64) * CInt(Math.Pow(26, intI))
Next
intColumn -= 1
End Function
The last 2 functions converts only the "cell-address" in Excel (e.g. "C4") to the column and row for the data-table (e.g. C==2 and 4==3).
Problem: If a cell-value in Excel is formated as date and the value in this cell is not a date (e.g. the string "Hello"), the value is assumed correct, means strCellValue="Hello". If the value is a number and so, the cell-value is a valid date (e.g. "2009.03.21"), an empty string is assumed, means strCellValue=""
Any idea why? Thank you very much.
Christian

Hello,
I have solved the problem myself:
The ConnectionString must modified like this:
dbConnection.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; " & _
"Data Source=" & strDateiname & ";" & "Extended Properties='Excel" & _
"8.0;HDR=NO;IMEX=1;'"
The "IMEX=1;" string tells the driver, that it should "convert" mixed formated cell-values (e.g. number, string, date,...) as text.
That's it.
Regards,
Christian

how to make the form as MDI child in visual studio 2008?
|
|
|
|
|
You first need to have an MDI Parent form. set a forms IsMdiContainer property to True (Form1)
From the Form1, set the Child forms (Form2) parent and show it e.g.
<br />
Dim ChildForm as new Form2<br />
ChildForm.MdiParent = Me<br />
ChildForm.show()<br />
The easiest way to see this is start a new project and add MDI Parent Form, inspect the code and see how its done.
|
|
|
|
|
first of all set form1 property of ismdicontainer to true
then place menustrip
in that write menu items as form2
now double click on form2 menu item write there below code..:-
form2.MdiParent = Me
form2.Show()

End If
but this is not working every time the text value of checkbox changes
when again i go in edit mode...
so please help....
|

The below code worked for me, are you specifying in your code that this should run when the check box is changed?
Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
CheckBox1.Text = "Yes"
Else
CheckBox1.Text = "No"
End If
End Sub
Hope that helps

He is talking about a check box in a listview.
I am a bit confused about exactly what his issue is.
Both the code you supplied for check boxes and the code i supplied for check boxes in listitems does as he has requested.
So need clarity on his issue.

Ok,
The code is doing what you are asking to do, but i think i now know what you are trying to do.
You want to insert 'Yes' or 'No' into the SQL string based on whether the checkbox is checked or not.
If that is the case then;
<br />
Dim tempString as String = ""<br />
If Me.chbox1.Checked Then tempString = "Yes" else tempString = "No"<br />
<br />
Dim str As String = "insert into spoke_mast(area_numb,area_code,area_name,area_alias,area_select,area_tpemct) values ('" + Me.txt3.Text + "','" + Me.txt4.Text + "','" + Me.txt1.Text.ToUpper + "','" + Me.txt2.Text.ToUpper + "','" + tempString + "','" + Me.cmbbox1.Text + "')"<br />
<br />
obj.strexecutesql(str) <br />

hello
the solution you gave works well and good for add..
thanks for all..
but when i want to update the items in listview i use to double click on that particular record of listview...and update it
for that my code is:-
Me.chbox1.Text = Me.lst1.SelectedItems(0).SubItems(4).Text
this brings the value of listview to checkbox
now what happens is the value of checkbox.text changes from "Yes/No" to "Yes" or "No"
instead it should not change...and should remain "Yes/No" only
please suggest what to do....
|
|
|
|
|
Again, your question is not good and it is not clear what you are trying to do.
Of course the checkbox text is changing, that is what the code is telling it to do. i.e. it is being set to whatever subitem(4).text value is.
Can't help you without you starting to write better questions!

hello
simply speaking when we click on any check box the text should remain unchanged...
but in my case when i double click on listview the text in chckbox changes
for eg:-
at form load event the text in check box is "Yes/No"
now lsitview contains some items like area name,area number etc along with area select which is having value of checkbox either "Yes" or "No"
which is well and good working...
but when i double click on listview the text changes
to either "Yes" or "No"
so what shall i do so that when i double click on listview the text in checkbox.text remains "Yes/No" like it was at form load event....
hope u got me...
please help....

If you are setting the checking box at design time to "Yes/No" and it should never change, then you should not have any code that has 'checkbox.text ='
Search your code/step through in debug, and find all instance of code that change the text value and remove.
I think you should have enough info from this thread to work that out..............

If you are still having problems, please answer this.
When you double-click the listview, do you want the checkbox to be checked, if you get a yes, and unchecked if you get a no?
If this is not what you want, then I am afraid that your question is too poorly worded, to be understood.
