View 10 RepliesI have 2 text boxes.
For example:
textbox1 = "Hello bob, How are you"
textbox2 = "Hello cad, how are you"
I have looped through each text box and know that the area I want to highlight on textBox 2 is between the charaters 7 and 9. How do I highlight only these characters as Bold and with a yellow background?
I've an aspx page with a couple of textboxes, one of which is populated with text from a sqlserver, is it possible to highlight certain words within the text box that match a search critrea? I've opted for textbox to display the text as that seems to be the only control that will format the text correctly. Incidently I'm using vb.net as my code behind
View 6 RepliesI have one Textbox, Dropdownlist and a button on web form. When i type one of Dropdown list values in text box and click on "Button" dropdown value should be highlighted. How do i do this?
Ex:
Assume one of the values in Dropdownlist is "TX-Texas"
If i type same value (.i.e.) TX-Texas in Textbox and click on Button..the value "TX-Texas" in dropdownlist should be highlighted?
i wanted to know how i could go about selecting all the values of the textbox in one click, and then auto copying it.
So basically, the textbox is a read only, and has text inside, but when the user clicks the textbox, it will highlight the text in the textbox, and autocopy it.
I'm developing an aspx page with vb code.
I am trying to highlight textbox border in red instead on showing an error message in summary. I'm using a required field validator to validate the empty textbox How can i do so?
I have a dynamic textbox appearing in a gridview on the row editing function. I have the following code to set the focus tot he textbox:
GridView1.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex
BindData()
GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).FindControl("txtTargetAmount").Focus()
This works fine, but I would now also like to select the data in the textbox so the user does not have to select the text before typing, they can just type straight away. I have been trying to use:
txtTargetAmount1.SelectionStart = 0
txtTargetAmount1.SelectionLength = txtTargetAmount1.Text.Length
but this does not work.
I have a text box in a gridview that is causing some problems with user input. The first time the user opens the page the gridview is populated with zero's in all rows textboxes. I set the focus to the first textbox in the Page_Load event but the cursor is placed to the left of the zero and when some users enter data they don't realize the zero doesn't go away so the first row ends up wrong. Once the tab or enter key is hit and the next row is selected, the zero is "selected", for lack of a better term like when the insert key is predded, and once the user starts typing only the new value remains. Is there a way to make the zero in the first row "selected" ?

Just wondering if it is possible to programatically highlight all the text within a textbox.
Specifically, I have a text box with validation. If an error is thrown, I set the focus to the specified textbox, but the way it works now the user starts typing and none of the text that already exists disappears. I'm wondering if I can make it so that if the error is thrown, not only is the focus set to the textbox, but the text within the textbox is selected, so that if they simply start typing all of the old text disappears, or they can click and retype a single character if necessary.
I have an ASP.NET 2.0 webapp (with C#). I wanted to add a button which, when clicked would highlight selected text. By 'highlight', I mean change the CSS properties of the text so that it can stand out. I think this can be done with some clientside JavaScript.I know that you can assign a Javascript function to the onclick event of an HTML input button, but since I'm not very proficient at JS the function itself I have no idea how to write

View 4 RepliesI have a TextBox using the AjaxControlToolkit's MaskedEditExtender, the extender is using the Date mask (99/99/9999). We had modified the toolkit code to support 2-digit year (as seen in this post) which works just fine when the date TextBox initially has no value. But when the date TextBox has an existing date such as 10/04/2010, if I type in say 100409, it becomes 10/04/0910, in other words it doesn't replace the existing year but simply replace the first 2 digits of the year. If I first hightlight the entire field then type then it works. My question is is there a way to hightlight the entire date value of the TextBox upon entering the field?
I tried using javascript code textbox.focus() and .selet() but it doesn't highlight anything, it just places the cursor at the beginning of the textbox.

View 1 RepliesI am having a slight issue with grabbing data from my masterpage into my content page (as a whole).
I have generated a public property for the my textbox and the contentpage can see this public property. But it comes across empty (even from within the masterpage). Now I guess the problem is with the property itself (possibly). It also shows as empty when I response.write it's value to the page.
Even when I call the value of the property in the masterpage it comes across as empty. The way I have this setup is that a textbox named pageTitleField has it's value updated from an iframe. All is working well and the textbox has its value updated correct upon iframe content changes. This is great. Now I just need to pass this textbox value into my content page and then set it as the document title.
see my code thus far.
My MasterPage
[Code]....
My MasterPage CodeFile
[Code]....
My ContentPage
[Code]....
My ContentPage CodeFile
[Code]....
I know the public property is being seen from the content page because if I just do a Response.Write(Master.GrabPageTitle) I see System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox appearing as the output of that property. So it appears hat the textbox value is not being captured in the public readonly property.
How can i clean all the textbox's content in a single page?
without doing this textbox1.text = "";
I am trying to create a comment system in which the comments will be displayed and will have one level of reply to the comment.
I now have text boxes and buttons dynamically created under each comment for users to submit replies to each individual comment.
I am having difficulty obtaining the contents entered by the user within the text boxes.
[Code]....
The GetComment method is called at pageload. I am able to obtain the Id of the comments that the reply corresponds to, but not able to obtain contents entered by user in the reply text boxes, they show up as blank.

View 1 RepliesLanguage: C#
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 created two dynamic textboxes. like this...
protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox1 = new TextBox();
TextBox1.ID = "TextBox1";
TextBox1.Style["Position"] = "Absolute";
TextBox1.Style["Top"] = "25px";
TextBox1.Style["Left"] = "100px";
Panel1.Controls.Add(TextBox1);
TextBox2 = new TextBox();
TextBox2.ID = "TextBox2";
TextBox2.Style["Position"] = "Absolute";
TextBox2.Style["Top"] = "60px";
TextBox2.Style["Left"] = "100px";
Panel1.Controls.Add(TextBox2);
//this.TextBox1.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.TextBox_TextChanged);
//this.TextBox2.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.TextBox_TextChanged);
}
now, i want to retrieve the content from the textboxes.
I have written a Web Page which allows Club members to send a message to Committee Members. The Input Page is a Details View which allows input of the Members name, Email Address and a text message - this is stored in a SQL Table.
Currently the Page then sends an email to Committee Members which advises that there is a message on the website. The Committee then have to log on and access the Message page to read the message.
I would like to include in the email the content of TextBoxes from the Details View.
The Code I am currently using for sending the email is below
Imports System.Net.Mail
Partial Class NonAdmin_ContactUs
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub ContactUs_ItemInserting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsViewInsertEventArgs) Handles ContactUs.ItemInserting
e.Values("Date") = DateTime.Now
Dim textSubject As String = "New Message"
Dim textBody As String = "There is a new Message on the Malling Photographic Society Website. Please advise the rest of the Committee if you are handling this message"
Dim mailMessage As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage
Dim MailClient As SmtpClient = New SmtpClient
mailMessage.From = New MailAddress("jpoll@sky.com")
mailMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress("committee@yahoogroups.co.uk"))
mailMessage.Subject = textSubject
mailMessage.Body = textBody
MailClient.Send(mailMessage)
End Sub
End Class
