In this example I will demonstrate how how to display a border around the TextBox when it has focused and show how to add a property for disabling and enabling the caret.
To draw the border I make sure that there is 1 pixel of space around the actual TextBox control. In the OnResize event of the composite control I set the bounds of the inner TextBox the bounds of the composite control minus 1 pixel on each side. If the inner TextBox is not in Multiline mode then the height of the control is forced to match its font size, if so then I resize the composite control to be 1 pixel taller. And draw the border I just clear the drawing surface with the highlight system color if it is Focused, and with white if not.
To enable and disable the caret, we add a boolean property called EnableCaret. This property is checked every time the control receives or loses focus, to call the native HideCaret() and ShowCaret(). As I demonstrated in my previous article called How to hide the TextBox caret in .NETCF
Here's how it looks like:
And here's the code:
using System;using System.Drawing;using System.Runtime.InteropServices;using System.Windows.Forms;namespace ExtendedTextBox{public class TextBoxEx : Control
{[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
static extern bool HideCaret(IntPtr hwnd);
[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
static extern bool ShowCaret(IntPtr hwnd);
private TextBox textBox;
public TextBoxEx() {textBox = new TextBox();
textBox.GotFocus += (sender, e) => OnGotFocus(EventArgs.Empty); textBox.LostFocus += (sender, e) => OnLostFocus(EventArgs.Empty); textBox.TextChanged += (sender, e) => OnTextChanged(EventArgs.Empty);textBox.KeyDown += (sender, e) => OnKeyDown(e);
textBox.KeyPress += (sender, e) => OnKeyPress(e);
textBox.KeyUp += (sender, e) => OnKeyUp(e);
Controls.Add(textBox);
}
