Set the Text
property of the TextBox
that you are using for the username to the string "Username"
. Then, in the TextBox
's Click
event, change it to a blank string. Like so:
Private Sub TextBox1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Click
TextBox1.Text = ""
End Sub
Edit: As @LarsTech mentioned, this does not address if the user tabs into the TextBox
. If you wanted to account for that too, use the TextBox
's Enter
event instead:
Private Sub TextBox1_Enter(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Enter
TextBox1.Text = ""
End Sub
I agree, using Textbox1.Enter
is the easiest solution. On top you can also catch the case of no text entered via TextBox1.Leave
like that
Private Sub TextBoxLeaveHandle() Handles TextBox1.Leave
If TextBox1.Text = "" Then
TextBox1.Text = "Username"
End If
End Sub
Sometimes it can also be useful to use the TextBox.SelectAll()
function as it not immediately remove the entire text but (obviously from the name) select the entire text so you can overwrite it with your first keypress.
