I want to filter the input of keys for a textbox and wonder if the behaviour of the merging of two characters can be disabled for a textbox? I have a code writen that I thought was ready but this behaviour messes up my integer input.
Sample: " + o = รถ
For numbers this does works different and not desirable for me: " + 9 = "9
I have menu item, in which I have specified ShortCutKeys as "Del". On click of menu item I have called specific method. I have one form on which one textbox is placed. When I hit the "Del" key the same method which gets called on menu item click is fired. I want the default behaviour to be followed by the textbox. how to suppress the event to be fired and to achive the default behaviour of the textbox or other controls present on the form.
View 2 RepliesEssentially I am trying to replicate the Windows 7 (In-Windows) activation key TextBox form. The Form where it will auto capitalize letters, remove or deny all non alphanumeric characters except dashes every 5 characters that will be auto-input.I assume this can be done with a fairly complicated replacement Regular Expression but I cannot seem to create one to fit the needs.
This is an Example of what I have right now, but it creates an infinite loop as it removes all characters including dashes, than adds a dash, which changes the text and removes the dash again.

I have two textboxes. I type in one of them and the text gets copied in real time into another textbox. There is one catch. I need to replace specific character with something else.
If I enter a quote " in textbox1, it has to be replaced with " in textbox2.
I started with something like the below code, but obviously this does not work (tried different stuff - this is for demonstration only). In the example below 'a' represents " , and 'b' represents "
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyUp
TextBox2.Text = TextBox1.Text
[Code]....
I'm trying to make a program where when textbox1 doesn't have a value, textbox2 is disabled but when a value is entered to textbox1, textbox2 will be enabled.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to show the square root of the number entered in the textbox. when the user presses Q (Uppercase), the square Root should be shown (in the textbox). I did manage to get the sqaure root, but the problem is that when I press Q the Letter Q is also typed in. For example, if I enter 25 in the textbox and press Q then I get Q5 as the result. Is there any work around to this problem ? Below is the code that I have used.
Private Sub Textbox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress

View 3 RepliesI am creating a converter program (lengths, weights and such), basically just for the learning process because I still find myself very new to this.Well it's like this, I have a textbox where the user is supposed to write the value of the unit he/she wants to convert. As we all know there is a possibility to write in many weird strings which the program later on result in a big error. I recently managed to get rid of dots, because the program couldn't convert if there were a dot among the numbers "." (commas "," works great!). And now there are other types of errors I need to get fixed. I will make a short numeric list.
1. I wonder if it's possible to make dots "." to mean the same thing as a comma ",".
2. I also wonder if i could disable letters a-z or like -#@%&]?! and so on, i just want the basic 0-9 with a coma or dot.
3. I tried to make a Msgbox that tells the user when he/she has done an overflow, a number to big for the program to handle, for example [Observe the code is also trying to prevent the user from writing a minus "-":
(textbox1_textchanged)
If TextBox1.Text.Contains("-") Then
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Replace("-", "")
[code]....
The minus thingy works great, but the 9999999... code, it always creates problems so I have commented it out for now until I know how to handle it.
4. Even though I got rid of the dot "." problem, the user is still able to write more then one comma, and I also want to get rid of that. The code I use right now for the "disable dot problem" is:
(textbox1_keypress)
If e.KeyChar = "," Then
If TextBox1.Text.IndexOf(",") > -1 Then
