For a drop down combo box, if you place 0 as a custom mask, you can enter only numbers. If you place A as the custom mask, you can enter letters and numbers. How can I make it so that you can enter only letters?
View 3 RepliesI am creating an application where the user inputs must be restricted. Of course, the MaskedTextBox control provides the basic functionality for this, allowing me to set up a fixed input-string length, include literals if desired, etc. However, in some instances the available input-character types (digits, alphanumeric, etc.) are not sufficient to provide the restriction I require.
For example, in one field the user enters a hexadecimal number, i.e., composed of only characters [0-9][A-F], but there is no option in the default masking language for that. It would be nice to be able to add a couple masking elements, such as H and h for required and optional hex digit respectively. For now, I just check the Text contents of the MaskedTextBox after each TextChanged event and warn the user/remove the offending character(s), but I would prefer to be able to customize the Mask.
Is there any straightforward (or even not straightforward) way to accomplish this? For example, by creating a custom MaskedTextProvider? If so, how would I go about it?
I was trying to block the closing of a custom combo box popup window in my custom DataGrid. The popup window comes by pressing F4 or ALT+DOWN keys in my datagrid which is getting closed if I press the down arrow for the first time, after showing the first value in the combo box as selected. Next time onwards, if I press the F4 key and down arrow, I can move to any item in the popup window and select the item using keyboard and in that case, the popup window is not getting closed till I press the ENTER key or selection using the Mouse. Is there any specific reason for this behaviour or something is missing in my code part? [code]...

I'm having trouble getting a masked textbox to properly store a date. I'm using the short date format 00/00/0000 but when I navigate to a record that only has a single digit date it displays incorrectly.eg. 12/01/2008 displays as 12/12/008_Surely there's a fix for this but I'm not finding it.
View 5 RepliesI have been using the following code to find files within a directory with a specific mask, without any problems except windows 7 platforms.
The Folder searched contains five(5) word documents with a .dotx extension
The following mask is being used:
"*.doc", "*.docx", "*.dot", "*.dotx", "*.pdf"
The search returns me ten(10) files as the *.doc mask returns the *.docx files too.
How can I get this to work on old windows platforms as well as Windows 7 with the same mask?

I'm in MS Access 2003. I inherited a form with a text box. The text box has the following input mask. !(900") "000-0000;0; Here are my issues.
1. If the form is opened and I click in the text box at a point that is not leftmost, the cursor may not be placed at the leftmost position. Sometimes, it gets stuck at some point in the displayed mask. If I click in an empty text box, I always want the cursor to be leftmost. How can I create that behavior ?
2. If I get the cursor in the leftmost position of the text box and try to paste in phone numbers in certain formats, some of the input gets chopped off. ex: 555 555 5555, becomes (555) 555-{cursor} 555-555-5555 becomes (555) {cursor} IMHO, these formats are common enough that I would want a mask to accept it. Can I make the mask more general ?
3. What is the meaning of leading !, the double quotes, and the semi-colons?
I am trying to Mask Employee ID, so the user doesn't have to type the entire employee ID number CCETA01. I want them to type only two digit numbers. e.g. 01 to 99...

There are a number of textboxes I would like to validate. I first set up the key press events to only allow key entry's of characters which I feel are valid for this location (i.e. numbers and "." for dollar amounts). But in addition to this I would also like to ensure that the user entered something valid using an input mask. This may be a simple question but I couldn't seem to find the answer to it. If I have a input mask of ###.## and the user enters something like 4321.23, would this throw an error and if so, how should I set up my mask large enough so the user is able to enter large amounts.

Option Strict On
Dim mask As ULong = &HFFFFFFFFUL
Dim result1 As ULong = 20L And mask '//disallows implicit conversions
Dim result2 As ULong = 20L And &HFFFFFFFFUL
If you put that into the IDE with Option Strict On, it will not let you compile because of 'result1'. I'm not sure I understand why. In the 'result2' assignment, I am explicitly saying to use an unsigned long, however it's not giving me any grief.

I am using VB 2008 & drawimage function to copy image A to Image B. My problem is image A has many different colored patches on it and I only want to copy the ones that have a certain RGB value. I was going to set the masking color to the RGB value but remembered that defines the color to ignore - Im interested in the opposite.
I know I could loop through all the pixels and check its color, but its way slow and Im hoping theres something better?
how to create an 'Access-like' input mask for hastening date data entry.
Using C Pearson's much quoted code I've modified it as such:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim DateStr As String[code]....
Note: I'm aware that most of the time I'm simply re-typing the original code - it was a learning experiencing and I also realised that the different American and Australian date formatting was less of a programming issue due to the systems being set up differently in the first place.My issue is having run tests using only 4 digit entry, all types of digit entry, with and without DateValue on the final DateStr, changing the cell format to text, to general, to date - always results in a code like "8811" (i.e. 08/08/2011) being changed into 01/01/1924 (approximately).
At first I assumed the use of "DateValue" in assigning the final .Formula value was forcing this conversion. However, with or without DateValue it still seems to read the figure as a DateValue and convert it as such.I'm sure it has to be something elemental that I'm missing given the scores of people I alone have seen on boards reading C Pearson's code and not coming up with another peep.

The calculator can do one of two things:

2 - Given an existing network and CIDR (mask), and a list of c,h, (c = count, h=number of hosts) it will create the networks.

I want user to input two number such as 1.345 and 2.355 and use this number for addition and give the answer. I not sure how I write the code for mask textbox to be read once user input the numbers.
