User Control Focus Issues

This is driving me nuts...
Anyone have a clue why when a user control is focused, this.Focus(),
that child controls under the same container do not get
redrawn/updated? am I the only one experiencing this?

To redraw the control you can use Control.Refresh () or Control.Invalid ate()
method.

Nevermind, found my own answer...
the problem was for my fancy mouse handling events that changed the way
the control looked were calling this.Invalidate ().
they should have been calling this.Refresh();

Greetings I have googled this to no avail, maybe someone here can help. I have a user control that has several radio buttons and text boxes. I place 5 of these user controls on a windows form. I have set the tab order on the user control and then I set the tab order on the windows form. For some reason I only tab from user control to user control. Is there any way to tab all the way through my user control before proceeding to the...

I have made a WebForm with log ON/OFF off users. There is a label that shows the total count off users logged on stored in Application("UserCount") It works fine if the users logs out WITH THE LOG-OUT BUTTON, but what if a user "logs out" by closing with the X-button ? If I count down the Application("UserCount") in UNLOAD or DISPOSE I get a spoky reaction in Application("UserCount") - it just counts wrong !

I am developing a VB.NET user control that is composed of a component control (along with some classes, etc). This is probably a stupid question, and should be easy, but I must be having a brain fart. In the control itself, how do I set focus BACK to the form that the control is on? This control does some maniuplation of an outside application (by starting up the application and sending it keystrokes). What I want to be able to do is to...

Hi, I have a question. I have created a user control which contains a textbox and a button. we will enter some search word in the textbox and hit the button. Then we will get a pop-up with the listbox that contains the matches. Once I select one of the matches, it will close the pop-up and display the selected one in a label control which is also in the user control. Everything is working fine. But I am not getting one thing. After the...

The problem: I want to know, definitively when a slider loses focus after a user has started sliding and hasn't released the mouse yet. It appears that this is captured with the WM_ACTIVATEAPP message but this only goes to the form and I want it in the user control that maybe very much removed from the form's knowledge; i.e. the form may launch a 3rd party form that, upon a call back, decides to launch other form that has my user control...

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/system.windows.forms.control.focus(VS.80).aspx this page says: "Focus is a low-level method intended primarily for custom control authors. Instead, application programmers should use the Select method or the ActiveControl property for child controls, or the Activate method for forms." I am trying to give a Numeric UpDown control focus. Only Focus() works. But this says to not use it.

I have a custom Control that is a label, however I inherit from Control... 1) I override onClick and do a DrawFocusRectangle, that works great. How do I clear the focus rectangle once something else on the parent is clicked? I tried to override OnLostFocus and invalidate but that doesn't seem to do it. 2) the control, like i said is a label, how do i override the hotkey behavior. I.e, if my text is &Help, when I do Alt-H on the parent,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
