Board index » Visual Studio » Mirror TextBox Text

Visual Studio252
I have four text boxes (FirstName, MI, LastName, FullName)



I want to be able to fill in the FullName text box WHILE typing in the

FirstName field. Then I want to type in the MI field while updating the

FullName text box. And finally, I want to type in the LastName text box

while filling in the FullName textbox. So, in other words, whatever I type

in any of the three fields, it should show the same text in the FullName

text box. I also want to account for the deletion of individual letters too.



A great example of what I am trying to accomplish can be found in the

New/Copy user funtionality of Active Directory. I am trying to copy exactly

what that does. I have been working on the code for hours now but I just

can't seem to make everything work the way I want it to.



Any help will be much appreciated



TIA

So look into the Change event of the text box object.

I've been using the Control_KeyUp event, is that not the way to go? I guess

not since I can't figure it out.

How about something like the following.

Option Explicit

Private Sub BuildFullName()

txtFullname.Text = txtFirstName.Text & " " & _

txtMI.Text & " " & txtLastname.Text

End Sub



Private Sub Form_Load()

txtFirstName.Text = ""

txtMI.Text = ""

txtLastname.Text = ""

End Sub



Private Sub txtFirstName_Change()

BuildFullName

End Sub



Private Sub txtMI_Change()

BuildFullName

End Sub



Private Sub txtLastname_Change()

BuildFullName

End Sub
