Hi All
Hey I found a bug today in VB.net that should come up when doing your lab.

On page 74 problem 48 you have two text boxes on your form.
when you click on one text box it loads the other text box with the contents of the text box that has been clicked, then it should clear the text box click

Well here is the bug, It make sense you would want to put your code in a click event, to find this you would be in the code window you have two drop down boxes, the let side is where you choose your object in this case the Text box, on the right side is where you choose the event procedure that you want to place your code in.

Well guess what it does not list the Click Event even there is a Click event for a text box. They do list a DoubleClick event, but that means you would have to click on the text box twice in fast succession to promote the action.

You can use the double click event it is teaching you the same logic that you would use in a Click Event. you can also change the DoubleClick part of declaration to just click, this has to be done to the statement " Handles txtMyText.DoubleClick" to something like this "Handles txtMyText.Click"

If you do that then you only have to click once on the text box as the exercise asks for

Have a nice evening I will see you all in class

hmm.. seems I was missing another event for another control as well but can't remember Or it could be I was looking in the wrong place

I tried in C# building a double-click event for a text box and then changing it to click in code. Clicking it did not fire off the event. Double-clicking it did, even though I changed it to click.

It might have something to do with the fact that clicking would normally be to position the cursor inside the text box to do things with the text.

I even tried adding a Windows Forms 2.0 text box COM object. It also only works with double-click. I think it all boils down to the fact that texboxes are meant to be clicked once to edit the text, and they don't want that hindered by other events that might lose the focus of the text box.

I've seen a bug in vb.net...

sometimes you hit start(with debugging) and your program won't start...until you hit stop and start another 2-5 times or so. It works every time in Start without debugging mode.

but this is more of a bug with the editor/enviroment then the compiler. and I think the textbox click event is disabled on purpose, it makes sense anyway.

I've seen that too. Only makes me stop and hit start again once though.
