I have a textbox in Form and i want to detect when the text has changed but the code I have found is giving me no joy.
I am probably missing something in the proporties or something you have to define before.
Here is my code:
private void tbxparkingTimesS1_TextChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("You are in the ToolStripItem.TextChanged event.");
}
Thanks for any help with this trivial problem.
To wire the TextChanged event to a particular method inside your code do the following
Click on the TextBox inside your form
Open the properties windows (press F4 or menu View -> Property Window )
Select the event page (lightning icon)
Double click on the TextChanged property line
Insert your code inside the template build for you by Visual Studio
Have you assigned the event handler to the textbox?
Normally this will be done "behind the scenes" by Visual Studio - with the result being an additional line of code in your .designer file.
Something like:
this.tbxparkingTimesS1.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(tbxparkingTimesS1_TextChanged);
(It['s been a while since I've done webforms - so that might be slightly off)
Double Click on Text box it will generate text change event for you.
private void tbxparkingTimesS1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// implement your code here.
}
When you double click VS will create event handler in your designer.cs file as bellow
this.tbxparkingTimesS1.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.tbxparkingTimesS1_TextChanged);
You can do the same by using property window events or create event on code behind.

So, I would double click here on my designer
and it should create me the code, but well it doesn't. And there is no value changed event in the events either.
So if anyone knows how to fix this, it would be nice. (I doubt it) so how would I get around this? How would I go on about creating the code myself that should be created when I double click on it?
Click the form or control that you want to create an event handler for.
In the Properties window(F4), click the Events button
In the list of available events, click the event that you want to create an event handler for.
In the box to the right of the event name, type the name of the handler and press ENTER.
Add the appropriate code to the event handler.
To create an event handler in the code editor
Switch to the code editor by using one of the following techniques:
Create a new method like:
private void buttonName_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { ... }
In the file YourFormName.Designer.cs find your button and add
this.buttonName.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.buttonName_Click);
I am beginner to the C# and Visual Studio. I just wanted to ask how to put back-end code for a label.Just like when we press a double click on a button. It's back-end code just appears in .cs file, just like below
private void UIButton97_TouchUpInside(UIButton sender)
{
}
So can we do the same thing with a label.
Any help is appreciated.
check event that available for label, and you can add some behavior in that event. for example i will use label in my current project :
Add Event Text Changed in the label
this.aboutLabel.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.aboutLabel_TextChanged);
Define method that handle event like below
private void aboutLabel_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//do some bahaviour in here
}
The event above will be execute when text in label changed.
For simple way just right click --> properties in label element , click Events (In visual studio usually represent as thunderbolt image), double click empty field in beside event that you want to fire, see image below :
In the WindowsForms after double click on label, for example, I'm getting a code:
private void label1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
And if I'll delete it, it will be an error on the form's window, which want me to return the code. How can I delete it?
Open designer, select label1 and remove Click event handler in label's events list (Properties window).
On the Designer, locate the label1, then look at the Properties for that label and remove the event handler defined for the OnClick event. You can then delete the code.
Picture says a thousand words:
You have to remove the event handler either from the form designer.cs or from the property tab
First you need to remove it from the Properties window in the designer.
You have to remove the method name from the Events tab in the Properties window. After that it will either be automatically removed or you can delete it without issue.
You might also have to go into the automatically generated design code file and take out the part that adds that method as an event handler for your label.
Im designing a dialerPad form using Windows form, there is a textbox which should only take numbers and not text, my problem is that when i add the code
private void txtDialedNumber_KeyPress(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
//Blaah Blaah Code;
}
but its not getting registered in the other DialPad.Designer.CS page. For example the fallowing code registers TextChangedEvent
this.txtDailedNumber.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.txtDailedNumber_TextChanged);
Can anybody help me on this?
You should never change *.designer.cs files manually.
What you should be doing is opening the design view of your form, selecting the object, and then setting the event handler in the objects properties:
Alternatively, if you want to register event handler manually (instead of using the designer), just put it under the InitializeComponent() call in the constructor for your form.
I would try to simplify Greg's answer.
Select the text box > go to properties > events tab> KeyPress Event > select the method this.txtDailedNumber.KeyPress
You are done.
I'd like give focus to a textBox after a Tab has been selected but no matter what I try it doesn't work. I've looked at similar questions here but they don't get me the results I need. Here is what Ive tried.
private void tabBDERip_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
textBoxPassword.Focus();
}
and
private void tabAll_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (tabAll.SelectedTab == tabBDERip)
{
textBoxPassword.Focus();
}
}
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
First thing the Click event of the TabPage control fires when the user clicks inside the TabPage not on the header so your SelectedIndexChanged event is the one you want to use.
I just tested code very similiar to yours:
private void tabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (tabControl1.SelectedTab == tabPage2)
{
textBox4.Focus();
}
}
And it worked fine.
Is the password textbox not enabled or something like that?
If you try to call Focus() on a different control does that also not work?
If you set a breakpoint inside the SelectedIndexChanged code does it get hit?
Update: Interesting. If the breakpoint isn't getting hit (before the if) I would double check that your eventhandler is properly attached. Look in your designer.cs for something like:
this.tabControl1.SelectedIndexChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.tabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged);
Update: I put my working example at http://www.ccswe.com/temp/SO_TextBoxFocus.zip maybe looking at it will help you figure out where the issue is.
Update: The easier way to attach an event handler to a control on your form:
1: Select the Control to want to attach an event handler to and then click the Events icon (lightning bolt) in the Properties window.

2: Find the event you want to attach to and double click to the right.

3: A code stub will be automatically generated for you and the event will be attached in the designer.

If you look at the properties window again you'll now see the name of the method that was generated.
