My application in C#
has a Textbox
with a txt_TextChanged
event.
private void txt_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Do somthin
}
But there's one specific part that I want to change txt.Text
without firing the txt_TextChanged
event.
txt.Text ="somthing" //Don't fire txt_TextChanged
How can I do that?
There is no direct way to prevent the raising of events for the text property, however your event handler can use a flag to determine weather or not to perform a task. This i likely to be more efficient than attaching and detaching the event handler. This can be done by a variable within the page or even a specialized class wrapper
With a variable:
skipTextChange = true;
txt.Text = "Something";
protected void TextChangedHandler(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if(skipTextChange){ return; }
/// do some stuffl
}
With specialized event handler wrapper
var eventProxy = new ConditionalEventHandler<EventArgs>(TextBox1_TextChanged);
TextBox1.TextChanged = eventProxy.EventAction;
eventProxy.RaiseEvents = false;
TextBox1.Text = "test";
public void TextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// some cool stuff;
}
internal class ConditionalEventHadler<TEventArgs> where TEventArgs : EventArgs
{
private Action<object,TEventArgs> handler;
public bool RaiseEvents {get; set;}
public ConditionalEventHadler(Action<object, TEventArgs> handler)
{
this.handler = handler;
}
public void EventHanlder(object sender, TEventArgs e) {
if(!RaiseEvents) { return;}
this.handler(sender, e);
}
}
txt.TextChanged -= textBox1_TextChanged; // dettach the event handler
txt.Text = "something"; // update value
txt.TextChanged += textBox1_TextChanged; // reattach the event handler
try this extension method
public static class TextBoxExt
{
private static readonly FieldInfo _field;
private static readonly PropertyInfo _prop;
static TextBoxExt()
{
Type type = typeof(Control);
_field = type.GetField("text", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
_prop = type.GetProperty("WindowText", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
}
public static void SetText(this TextBox box, string text)
{
_field.SetValue(box, text);
_prop.SetValue(box, text, null);
}
}
you can use textbox.SetText("...") to change text and the TextChanged event will not be fired.
You can extend text box and introduce there a new property that will not trigger the TextChanged event.
class SilentTextBox : TextBox
{
// if true, than the TextChanged event should not be thrown
private bool Silent { get; set; }
public string SilentText
{
set
{
Silent = true;
Text = value;
Silent = false;
}
}
protected override void OnTextChanged(EventArgs e)
{
// raise event only if the control is in non-silent state
if (!Silent)
{
base.OnTextChanged(e);
}
}
}
A quick and dirty way is to do an
ctrl.Enable = false;
ctrl.Text = "Something";
ctrl.Enable = true;
and then in the OnChange event, encapsulate the offending code with a
if (ctrl.Enabled) {
// offending code here.
}
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
EventHandler TextChanged_EventHandler = new EventHandler(textBox1_TextChanged);
textBox1.TextChanged -= TextChanged_EventHandler;
}
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("BUG");
}
}
