[RESOLVED] Vb6 to asp.net (vb)

[achor]

Hello All,

I think this is a simple question, but I've already searched and I can´t find nothing.

Private Sub txtSearch_GotFocus()
 
    If txtSearch <> "" Then
        SendKeys "{END}"
    End If

End Sub

Private Sub txtSearch_Key_Press(KeyAscii As Integer)
   
        If KeyAscii = 13 Then 
              cmdSearch_Click
        end if
        
End Sub

I want to do something like this in my asp.net page Bu I just can't do it.

When my txtSearch got focus, select it's Text.
And when I press 'Enter', it clicks the cmdSearch Button.

Help please.

You need to think about what you are trying to achieve here.

I'm presuming your vb6 code was for a windows application? But when you're working with a web application vb.net code runs on the server and can't access client side events. So the functionality you require will require clientside scripting such as Javascript.

Make sense?

ASP.NET has a DefaultButton property. That will take care of the 'enter' for you.

As for selecting all of the text, you need a bit of javascript.

In the textbox's onFocus event,

onfocus="document.Form1.txt1.select();"

Hello fishcake and mendhak,

First ok, fishcake it makes sense. I'll have to search for some more info about java script.

Second mendhak, thank you. I'll try the javascript.

Thank you both.
