[RESOLVED] [2008] Textbox issue

[nutt318]

Ok I have a textbox that when someone types in it another textbox will have the exact same text. Easy I know.

Private Sub TextBox9_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox9.TextChanged
        TextBox12.Text = TextBox9.Text
    End Sub

That works fine normally but I am using My.Settings on each text box that get loaded upon the form load. Is there anyway around this from not messing up?

For some reason it doesnt work properly if your using My.Settings but still would like to use the function.

Thanks.

what does messing up mean?

[nutt318]

When you enter text into textbox9, textbox12 changes but then textbox9 clears it self. It seems only 1 character can be entered into textbox9, then it clears itself out. And textbox12 only hold the last character you typed.

[.paul.]

is all the text in textbox9 highlighted before it happens?

[nutt318]

Nothing is highlighted in textbox9, just a flashing cursor.

There is no text in textbox9 when the form loads but there is text in textbox12 when it loads.

I think you should post the entire form's code that's relevant to Textbox9 and Textbox12

This is the complete code for what im trying to do:

Private Sub TextBox9_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox9.TextChanged
        TextBox12.Text = TextBox9.Text
    End Sub

That works great but when you bind those two textboxes to the application settings it doesnt work properly. Try it for you self. Make two text boxes, then add the above code and run the program, it works fine.

But then when you set each textbox to be remember and saved when the program loads under the application settings it doesnt work.

where do you load the textbox from my.settings

[nutt318]

I use the following code on the form load

My.Settings.Reload()

on form close:

My.Settings.Save()

I should say that I dont have any problems reloading the text back into any textboxes.

Just when added the textbox12.text = textbox9.text it doesnt do what its supposed to.

So don't bind them, in the form load event manually set their Text properties then in the form close event manually grab the Text

But I need to save these settings that are entered. If a user changes the settings and closes the program these need to be saved. So what your saying I dont think will work for me. Unless im not getting something.

Found the Fix:

Removed the my settings binding from textbox12 and then on form load and close i saved that textbox12.text to a my.setting.

Works good now, thanks JuggaloBrotha
