CommandBarTextBox Events

[Ryan]

Good Day/Evening,

I've been using the new CommandBar which looks awesome I think but I have a problem with the CommandBarTextbox, I've put the CommandBarTextbox in the CommandBar and added the following code below but the events do not get hit at all. Any help would be much appreciated.

Public Sub New()

    ' This call is required by the designer.
    InitializeComponent()

    ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
    AddHandler txtMyCommandTextBox.KeyDown, AddressOf txtMyCommandTextBox_KeyDown
    AddHandler txtMyCommandTextBox.KeyPress, AddressOf txtMyCommandTextBox_KeyPress
    AddHandler txtMyCommandTextBox.KeyUp, AddressOf txtMyCommandTextBox_KeyUp

End Sub

Private Sub txtMyCommandTextBox_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)
    RadMessageBox.Show(e.KeyCode)
End Sub

Private Sub txtMyCommandTextBox_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs)
    RadMessageBox.Show(e.KeyChar)
End Sub

Private Sub txtMyCommandTextBox_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)
    RadMessageBox.Show(e.KeyCode)
End Sub

Hello Ryan,

I've recently reported this as an issue. You need to handle the events on the TextBoxItem instead. Have a look at the code below

Imports Telerik.WinControls.UI
Imports Telerik.WinControls

Public Class Form1

    Private WithEvents m_TextBoxItem As RadTextBoxItem

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.CommandBarTextBox1.Text = ""
        Me.CommandBarTextBox1.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.MaxLength = 3
        m_TextBoxItem = Me.CommandBarTextBox1.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem

    End Sub

    ''' <summary>
    ''' This fires correctly
    ''' </summary>
    Private Sub CommandBarTextBox1TextBoxItem_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles m_TextBoxItem.TextChanged
        MessageBox.Show("m_TextBoxItem " & Me.CommandBarTextBox1.Text)
    End Sub

    ''' <summary>
    ''' This fires correctly
    ''' </summary>
    Private Sub CommandBarTextBox1TextBoxItem_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles m_TextBoxItem.KeyDown
        MessageBox.Show("m_TextBoxItem " & e.KeyValue.ToString())
    End Sub

    ''' <summary>
    ''' This only fires on initial load
    ''' </summary>
    Private Sub CommandBarTextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CommandBarTextBox1.TextChanged
        MessageBox.Show("CommandBarTextBox1 " & Me.CommandBarTextBox1.Text)
    End Sub

    ''' <summary>
    ''' This doesn't fire
    ''' </summary>
    Private Sub CommandBarTextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles CommandBarTextBox1.KeyDown
        MessageBox.Show("CommandBarTextBox1 " & e.KeyValue.ToString())
    End Sub
End Class

hope this helps but let me know if you have any questions
