Forms Data Controls :: Multiline Textbox, Name Picker?
May 14, 2010
My application has a ajax.net popup. There are two mulitline textboxes with two buttons. One moves the names from one box to the empty box and the other puts the name/s back. Where can I find some examples on how to do that? Oh the data source is a database.
I have a formview containing an insert template. One of the fields you can insert is a multiline textbox. When i update or insert, i write the value to an SQL database. The next time i edit the record, everything shows up in the multiline textbox as it was when i inserted it. This includes the newlines(or break rules, or whatever you call it in english) i've entered.
For my itemtemplate, i want to use a label to represent this value. But when i do so, it doesn't use newlines, it just puts the text in one line.
How does the multiline textbox save these 'new lines' to the database? and how can i retrieve them when using a label?
Ok this is a bit weird. If I run this on my machine using IE everything looks fine. If I publish to my server and run using same machine and same browser my multiline textboxes show for a split second correctly then they scroll horizontally and get all messed up? Why are the scrolling horizontally and why do they look fine locally?
I have a gridview that I would like to the set the textbox in edit mode to multi line in order to show more of the content of the cell. Does anyone know how to change this property, I have tried (I think) every single one I could find in the Gridview property settings for editstyle, item style, row style etc.
Values for multiline textbox in gridview are coming from SQL db "text" type previously entered by user...sometimes a small amount, sometimes a lot. Want to display enough to make it readable without wasting space on the screen. Can't believe this mechanism is not built in but have researched & see I may have to count lines then set the "number of row" property.
Question 1: Should this be done in databound or rowdatabound event?
Question 2: Could someone provide the "row counting" code (in C#)?
I have a textbox inside edit template and it is binded with the data. Somehow, textbox data starts from the middle instead at the beginning of the box. I can use textarea where it starts from the starting point but I cant bind the data inside the gridview.
I am developing a message pool means like a Facebook when we click on above message icon all message show in list .then click on the sender name all message show that person. For
That kind of message poll am developed two pages one page is sender and the other one is receiver .when I send message from sender page it will be saved into data base and show into other pages text box.
Now problem is that the receiver pages cannot show all messages .it will show one first message which are saved into database.
I want it will show all messages which are sending from sender page. below my all code.

How to display data from textarea the way it is been typed as ineg. hiiihello what are u doing I want to display the data typed in textarea shown above inside the panel the way it is typed.
I have a set of data is my database. Need to pull the data and display in a textbox which is set to Multiline mode. The problem is i need to display the that is being retrieved from database is a particular format with line breaks.
Ex:
INT/1241/STD3//TestCondition/ Info:<data> Test Criteria:<data> Test Results:<data> Conclusion:<data> Tested by:<data>
This is the pattern in which i want to display the details in the text box. All Data is retrieved from data base, there is a line break after each line.
On one screen I have the user enter some stuff in a multiline textbox, and then save it to db. On another screen I make an html summary report which includes a column for that multiline textbox data. When the report is rendered, the column with mutiline textbox data doesn't seem to understand the line breaks in the text, and just happily runs on until the end of the column width, wrapping the text wherever it might be at the moment.
When I stop at a breakpoint in visual studio and look at the data with the visualizer, it comes up formatted properly with the line breaks. So I guess it's really just the html rendering that's killing me. So how can I get linebreaks in database text data to render as linebreaks in the generated html report row?
Example of the html generation code I'm using for the column with possible linebreaks (it all takes place within the usual while reader.read(), etc.:
When changing the textbox's text mode to multiline the textbox becomes resizable during runtime. I can't seem to find the property to disable this, does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?
I am having a DOB text box. This text box also allows to enter the date and also to pick the date using ajax CalendarExtender.
I used to set the dirty message when we edit some thing in the page.
When I enter some thing on the text box and click on the cancel button, dirty message will occur.
The problem i am facing is that, in Edit mode, I used to get all the records and assign to the text box. In that scenerio, the dirty message si automatically set since the DOB gets changes.
I went through this post [URL] which is very helpful to me in order to hack the datetime picker UI to suit my situation. But as I have several datetime picker on the same form, this happens. The css display:none is aim to 'hide' the days not to be shown. But if I have several datetime picker on the same form but only one I wish to make one of it monthpicker, how can I achieve that? With thw css, it makes all the days on the all datetime calender UI disappear since the css will change the attribute of .ui-datepicker-calendar.
On my Asp.Net GridView I am binding a textbox to a field in SQL. Sometimes the content of the textbox is more than 1 line and I
need to show only the LAST line. How can I do that? Here is part of my code...notice that I use Rows=1 on purpose so that I am able to show only 1 line but I need it to scroll all the way down and have it show only the last line of the whole content:
So, I have a textbox(txtCompany) and a button(btnAddCompany) above another multiline textbox(txtCompanyList) with an associated button (btnRemoveCompany) on the one aspx form.(C#)
Quite simply, I want to add individual companies to the multiline tb from txtCompany using the add button and remove them using the remove button (Obviously).
I have a form that allows users to enter replies and then display them. I would like the entry and display fields to be multiline but limit the number af characters and not display the scroll bars??
No problem there, but when I want to display the saved data into a multiline textbox (for editing) i can't get the linebreak to display.
I've tried these option, but nothing seems to work:
- txtMulitline.text = .item("field").tostring.replace("<br />", environment.newline) ' This displays some empty spaces but no new lines - txtMulitline.text = .item("field").tostring.replace("<br />", vbcrlf) ' same result - txtMulitline.text = .item("field").tostring.replace("<br />", vbnewline) ' same result - txtMulitline.text = .item("field").tostring.replace("<br />", " ") ' This display the string like "blabla blibli" but no new lines - txtMulitline.text = .item("field").tostring.replace("<br />", " ") ' same result - txtMulitline.text = .item("field").tostring.replace("<br />", " ") ' same result
i have two textboxes just like a chat application where one textbox is used to add textbox text to other multiline textbox
