My code currently checks if text length is greater than "4" and automatically tabs to the next textbox. For added convenience to the user, I'd like it to also move to the previous textbox when the user hits backspace on an empty textbox. And finally, I'd like it so when a user presses Enter on a textbox, the field automatically saves. Currently, I have this code below:
I know how to make it tab back from SelectNextControl, but I don't know how to make it do that automatically when backspace is pressed on an empty textbox? I tried adding this to my code, but got an error:
I also tried changing the selection start to -1 and getting rid of the KeyCode bit, but of course that didn't work either. I'm sure the answer is pretty simple, but I'm just not finding it.
Code:
Private Sub CheckEntry(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtDate.TextChanged, txtStore.TextChanged
Dim TB As TextBox = CType(sender, TextBox)
If TB.Text.Length = TB.MaxLength Then
If TB.SelectionStart = 4 Then
Me.SelectNextControl(TB, True, True, False, False)
End If
End If
End SubCode:
'///////PROBLEM CODE HERE @"TB.KEYCODE =" ERROR: KEYCODE IS NOT A MEMBER OF 'SYSTEM.WINDOWS.FORMS.TEXTBOX'
If TB.SelectionStart = 0 And
TB.KeyCode = Keys.Back Then
Me.SelectNextControl(TB, False, True, False, False)
End If
