First create a form similar to the picture bellow!
- 1 TextBox control
- 1 Button
- 1 ListBox control
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
ListBox1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)
End Sub
We can polish this code by adding a code to clear the content in the TextBox control after pressing the button and focusing the TextBox.
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
ListBox1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)
TextBox1.Clear()
TextBox1.Select()
End Sub
Probably you noticed that I used the code TextBox1.Select() to focus the cursor onto the TextBox control. This is because in Visual Basic 2017 you can't set focus on a Windows Form TextBox control.
