Textbox cursor behavior is bad

Hi Guys and Gals,

I don't like the way my ASP.NET page behaves. I have
created a simple survey and there are several places
where I have multi-line text boxes for comments. I have
gotten several complaints that when someone types in a
text box and then places the cursor in the next text box
and starts typing, what they type ends up in the first
text box as if the click in the other text box never
happened. I had to put a statement at the top of the page
to tell them to click outside the text box before going
to the next one but I am really unhappy with having to do
this. There must be a better way!

Hello, I am stuck with a problem trying to mimic the behavior of a Windows Forms Readonly textbox in HMTL/ASP.NET. Basically, I would like the text to be readonly and overflow the textbox (overflow attribute) with the user being able to scroll thru the text using the arrow keys within the textbox. I managed to get the readonly and the overflow part to work but cannot figure out a way to let the user place the cursor within the box and

How can I turn the selection highlight off when I enter a textbox? I tried setting SelLength to 0 but it still selected 1 character. Can I change the color of the selection highlight? I want to turn the backcolor of a textbox to blue in the OnEnter event but the selection highlight interferes with what I want to do. Thanks! Mark

I want to programmatically set the position of a cursor in a textbox that has focus based on a X and Y value. However, when I send a WM_RBUTTONDOWN and a WM_RBUTTONUP message to the textbox it selects the text from where the cursor is to where I want the cursor to be. All I want is to move the position of the cursor based on a X and Y values, not select the text. The code to recreate the issue.

I have noticed a "different" behavior in a .NET application I have written in C#. When I tab between textbox controls, the contents of the control I am tabbing into is typically highlighted. However, if I move the cursor to a different location within a text box control, tab away, and then tab back, the control seems to "remember" the location of the cursor. Rather than highlight this control, it places the cursor at the location it was...

Hi, For my application I need the following behavior: When I press F4 the cursor has to move to the next line in my multiline textbox which begins with "0". Finding lines starting with 0 isn't that difficult, but to find the next line is more difficult. For exemple: if my cursor is on line 200, it has to start searching on line 201, and not on line 1. Anybody has any ideas?

Hello, and thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Each line in our datagrid control contains a product number, description, and a textbox for the user to enter a quantity-to-order. Users enter quantities (not necessarily on every line), click the Next button, and continue. Sometimes users return to a previous page, by clicking the Previous button, and see quantities that they did not enter. More often, users return to a...

Hi I have tried to implement drag and drop by using the following code but I have several problems. 1. When you put your mouse over selected text the cursor is still the i-beam and therefore does not show that the text can be dragged 2. When pressing the mouse button to start a drag the selected text changes - I know this is cause the code does not initiate the dodragdrop until the mouse leaves the control but if I change this then you...
