TextBox->RefreshText () method???

richiemac · #1 19-May-2005, 08:00

Hello again,

so here I am once again - in need of guidance. I've got my textboxes working how I want them but I'm having trouble resetting them to their default values. I'm using,

CPP / C++ / C Code:

private: System::Void reset_button_Click(System::Object *  sender, System::EventArgs *  e)
{
	myTextBox->ResetText ();
}

but all that this does is clear the textbox not reset it. I was of the impression that this was the method I needed to use for my task so why does it not work?? Am I using it wrong?

Sorry that should be...TextBox->ResetText () method

ResetText is inherited from the Control class. It will indeed reset the text in the textbox to the default value. But the default value is an empty string, and I don't know of any way to change it (I really searched for it).
In conclusion, I don't think its functionality is the one you need. Just write your own Reset method and have a private string member defaultValue, which you can set at any time using another method, SetDefaultText(string defaultText).

It's the best I could come up with

Best regards,
Lucian

Thanks Lucian

I can't find anything on changing it either. I'll have to do it the hard way and write it myself.
