Event ButtonBox.Change (gb.form)

Event Change ( )

Raised when the text of the control changes.

This event is raised for each letter which is typed in, or whenever the program writes to the Text property.

Examples

PUBLIC SUB TextBox1_Change() IF TextBox1.Text = "gray" THEN PictureBox1.Background = &H707070& END

If you want to use this event to modify the Text in the same TextBox, then this event handler is raised again.

To prevent a stack overflow:

Lock the TextBox with Object.Lock() to prevent it from raising events.

Examples

PUBLIC SUB TextBox1_Change() IF TextBox1.Text = "gray" OR TextBox1.Text = "grey" THEN Object.Lock(TextBox1) TextBox1.Text = "grey" Object.Unlock(TextBox1) ENDIF END

Or use a Boolean semaphore to prevent a second entry when the event is raised by the event handler instead by manual input.

PUBLIC bRefreshing AS Boolean PUBLIC SUB TextBox1_Change() IF bRefreshing THEN RETURN bRefreshing = TRUE IF TextBox1.Text = "gray" OR TextBox1.Text = "grey" THEN TextBox1.Text = "grey" ENDIF bRefreshing = FALSE END
