TextBox: TextChanged event question

Hi.

The content of my textbox is "ABCD".

If I select the letter 'C' and I press 'X', the content obviously changes to
"ABXD".

Thsi however generates two separate "TextChange d" events
1) "ABCD" ==> "ABD"
2) "ABD" ==> "ABXD"

These are 2 sub-operations of one single macro operation from an Undo/Redo
point of view. How can I capture this? The TextChanged event does not convey
any information if an operation is standalone or part of a larger operation.
Is there any property I could look into? Should I look at a different event?

Thanks,
Fabio

If you are looking to react to the completed change (i.e. when the user is
finished editing the content of the TextBox), you can use the Leave event.

Hi. Yes I need to react to the complete "typyng" event, but the focus
may still be on the control, hence I do nto think "leave" would work.

I suppose I can only use a combination of "TextCahnge d" and "KeyDown",

Thanks,
Fabio

What I want to be able to do: A textbox is available that the user can enter information into. Specifically (for the purposes of this post), the user is asked to enter a number, and that number has an upper limit. I want to do validation on what the user enters as they type it in. I set up an event handler for KeyPress that restricts them from being able to enter non-numeric characters (only allowing numbers, decimal point, control...

I'm having a problem supressing characters in a text box. I only want alpha numeric characters (no special chars). I can handle the TextBox_KeyPress event to supress the invalid characters when the user types them in, however that doesn't handle the user pasting invalid characters. I thought to use the MouseDown event but I couldn't figure out how to tell if the user is trying to paste or is copying the text. To paste the text the user...

Hi, In my C# Windows form MyForm I have some TextBoxes. In these TextBoxes, we have to detect if the TextChanged event occurs, if there're changes in these TextBoxes, it will ask if we want to save the changes when we close the form. However, when I run the MyForm, it will fetch data from the system and put into TextBoxes, and this incurs the textchanged event. But I am thinking how do I make the TextBox's TextChanged know the

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
