The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Cannot clear a text box in VB

Asked by sasllc in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, Visual Studio

I am having trouble clearing a text box in a VS 2005 VB project.  I'm trying to do it the same way I've done it so many times before on other text boxes in various projects, but I just can't get it to clear, and cannot see what I'm missing.

The text box is named txtBale.  Sometimes I key an "M" into this text box, and in my code I have a KeyPressEvent that sees that I keyed in that character, then calls another form which does a few things, then comes back to the calling form, and at that point I'm trying to clear the M from the text box--but never can get it to clear.  I'm trying usual things such as:

me.txtBale.text = ""
me.txtBale.focus()
me.txtBale.refresh()

...in various combinations, as well as a few other statements that I was not really familiar with---that didn't help anyway.  The M just hangs in that text box on the screen---unless I manually press the backspace key on my keyboard.  I think that the program IS putting the "" in the text box, but I think it is placing it to the right of the M that is showing on the screen.  The reason I say this is because I tried saying:

me.txtBale.text = "77" (instead of = "")

and after it ran that statement, it showed "M77" in the text box.

Any idea what I'm missing here, or how to completely clear all data from the text box and from the screen?  TIA
