Texbox Custom Control

[jpaulino]

Hi all,

I'm making a custom textbox control and I did it. The problem is that to set two new features I lost the other ones.

I'm making gotfocus and lostfocus effect but I lost most of them like passwordchar, multiline, textaligment, etc.

Any ideas ???

Tanks

GotFucus and LostFocus are events (handlers). The others that you mentioned are simple methods.

The only thing i can imagine you are doing is that you propably created a new control and draged a textbox to it. I am quite sure that that's your mistake. If you are extending a control (only one) e.g. textbox, create a new class library (name it: myCustomTextbox) and do like:

Public Class myCustomTextbox
Inherits System.windows.forms.textbox

' your code here
' ...

End Class

By that bold, you got everything from a textbox, plus thing you add by code.
** Note that by using the keyword "Me", you are 'speaking' to the textbox. So: Me.Multiline=True is valid, whereas in a windows form is not.


Hope these help
