I have a textbox which controls the interval of a Timer control. How do I filter out letters? Is it possible to restrict entry to numbers only (like if you enter a letter or a space, nothing happens)? Is there a property of the textbox that can accomplish this?
View 4 RepliesI have a textbox and I need to restrict entry to only the letters A-Z , a-z and the space key. I know I need to use something like
If (Microsoft.VisualBasic.Asc(e.KeyChar) < 65) _
Or (Microsoft.VisualBasic.Asc(e.KeyChar) > 90) etc
with an e.handled at the end
how do you restrict letters from being entered into a textbox?I know it invloves textbox_TextChanged but i don't know who to do so.
Edit: I figured out that Letters(25) = (a b c etc...) can be used but how to not enter the letter? Uhm.. Like, the user enters "a" and the program recognizes it using an IF statement. How will it NOT enter the letter into the textbox?

View 2 RepliesI have a program that allows a user to input numbers from an inputbox and it displays the Total numbers entered, the sum of the numbers entered, and the average of the numbers entered.

I'm making a hangman game (yes everyones starting point) and got the basics running. I've added so extras to it, such as reading in random words from a text file, only allowing capitals to be entered, an option of guesses the phrase etc. All very simple but a nice way to learn.
Anyway, I want it to show the letters that have all ready been entered between each guess. I want to do this by using an array and making sure the same letter cannot be entered more than once into this array.
So far i have the following:
Sub Main()
Dim GuessLetter As Char
Dim LettersGuessedArray(26)
[Code]....
and i do not know why. I want it to output the letter entered from the array "LettersStoredArray".
I have a program in which users are entering numbers into text boxes. I'm checking for proper data entry using a TRY-CATCH block. It works great and delivers an error message if the users enter anything non-numeric.
The problem is that now I need the users to enter negative values, but the TRY-CATCH is seeing the negative sign as non-numeric.
How do i make it so that you can only type in numbers and letters in a textbox? I want to disable the use of ("*(&$.....etc.) those types of symbols.
View 3 RepliesI'm looking for some function to put together every possible combination of letters and number to create a string that is 14 characters long. I have found ways to make every possible combination of letters and numbers seperately. However, I've never run across anything to come up with them together. Every string created must contain letters and numbers.I just have no idea where to start on this one.

im a student still learning and im stuck. im writing a program that returns the ip address, splits it in to parts, and now i need it to return a string of letters for other parts to use. EX.
ip address 127.0.0.1 will look like ABG.XXX.XXX.XXA
( i would like to set 0=X so it is easier to pick out the actual
numbers)
I am able to split it and display each part and rewrite it to textboxes without the "." but i dont know where to begin to change the numbers to the letters i need.
My listbox will accept any letter I add, but I can't get it to accept any numbers. I tried a case select for 1-100 and I couldn't get that to work either,

How can I generate a random string of 8 numbers and letters?

To complicate things a little, each combination needs to be different, ie. randomised but still according to the 'letter,number, letter' formula. There are plenty of examples of randomising strings such as passwords but I cannot understand how to achieve the above.
I want it so that when someone clicks a button it generates a code in the format of XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX I want them to be letters and numbers combinations
View 10 RepliesI'm brand spanking new to coding (as well as this forum). And I'm learning Visual Basic 2010 in School. Right now I am working on the following problem: "Use a masked text box to as a user to enter a phone number in a format as follows: (604)323-5819. Make sure you add input mask to the area code and phone number. Both the phone number and the area code are required. Then extract the area code and display it in a text box when a button is clicked." Here is my code, I've got it where I can input the number, and when the button is clicked (things actually appear in the text box!) however instead of getting the area code, I get "als" or alternatively if I put (0,3) I'll get "fals" I don't understand what I'm doing wrong or even where "fals" is coming from. Can someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong? I've literally been at this since 4pm today and only just (midnight) able to get it to this point and I'm incredibly frustrated as to where these letters are coming from. [code]

My teacher wants us to make the passwords vary in length, include numbers, letters and upper case letters. I've been able to write code that prints out a random string but it includes unrecognized characters for most passwords. How would I write the code to create a random string that has parameters? (in this case upper case lower case letters and numbers).

how to make the values in a text box accepts only letters in the text box for data that are for letters only and numbers for data requiring numbers only
View 7 RepliesThe app uses several forms to let the user enter information. In each form the info is entered into textboxes and dealt with elsewhere when the "Enter" button is clicked. A lot if the info entered is used in calculations and so must not contain alpha characters, only numbers. What is the best way of examining each entry and identifying any that are not numbers, so that I can ask the user for a correction with a MsgBox?Prevent Users Entering Letters Instead of Numbers?
