.NET text box Enter and Leave events are not called

[mkc]

Hi,

I added a .NET TextBox to LabView using .NET Container. I registered 3 events: Enter, Leave and TextChanged. In each event handler vi, I just prompt a dialog box. Whenever I made some text changes, TextChanged event is called, but seems like Enter and Leave event will never get fired. May I know if anyone has any idea? 

I am attaching the program, the main program is textBoxEvent.vi.

Thansk.

I'm not sure, but I suspect the reason for this is that LabVIEW is not an instance of a Windows Forms class.

As an alternative you could use a LabVIEW event structure and handle the control's Mouse Enter event. Note that in this case I'm referring to the .NET container control, not the embedded Textbox.

I tried Mouse Enter event. This event will be called everytime there is a mouse hover, although I do not click on the control. This doesn't fit my application needs at the moment. I will look for alternatives. Thanks a lot anyway 🙂
