Re: Winform inside a SplitContainer Funny Behaviour

Hello Linda,

Since all the textbox controls on our forms are usercontrol ( inheriting
textboxes to ensure that only numeric values are allowed)

so in the numerictextbox (userocntrol which is inheriting from textbox.) on
mouseclick event, following code was written


Private Sub NumericTextBox_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseClick

Me.SelectionStart() = (e.Location.X) / 6

Me.SelectionLength = 0

End Sub

In the above code, if we used only e.location.x, the cursor was being placed
very far of from click point, so by hit and trial, got the e.location.x/6

Though it is working, but not very sure if this is the right way.

trust you could advise.

regards

Hello Linda,

Tried with usercontrol, its ok.
If we create a usercontrol derived from the existing winforms, it just
behaves the way it was before - ie, the cursor can only be added at the
beginning of the text.

But to convert atleast 40 winforms into user controls and change the
coding etc, its going to be a gigantic efforts.
Secondly, my changing the whole application to an MDI also is causing a
few other headaches.

Is there any work around for this ?

regards

Hi AnikSol,

I performed a test based on your description and sample code. I did
reproduce the problem.

As what Stoitcho said, the split container is no more than two panels
docked and separated by a splitter. We could show a form in a Panel or
Group control as well. In this case, the form's behavior is just like
when
it is shown in a split container.

I think this behavior is by design. I recommend you to replace the form
with a user control. I mean you could show a user control in the split
container instead of a form. Then everything will be fine.

Hope this helps.
If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.



Sincerely,
Linda Liu
