I am using a masked text box to format phone numbers. However, I do not want the extra formatting that gets insterted from the masked text box: (800)-555-1212
All I want is: 8005551212
But I still want the user to type it in like this (to make it easier for user):
(800)-555-1212
I am thinking I can run a replace function on it, but I am not sure what event to use. I found a number of tutorials, but not that useful for what I am doing. [URL]
I'm working on a project that employs a masked text box with a mask ####. When I run the code it pulls the value from the textbox then clears it. When I try to type in it again the first character is added before the mask. (ex. 1#### instead of ####) I've figured out that pressing backspace before trying to enter numbers again resolves this issue. Is there a way to send the backspace function rather than the chrs(8) like SendKeys.Send(Keys.Back) does?
I am writing a program that will read and write to a file using the My.Computer.Filesystem namespace, and when I append my data file with the code shown below under SaveFile subroutine, it sometimes places extra ControlChars.Newline at the end of the appended text. Sometimes it places one extra newline, and sometimes it adds 3-6 newlines. I have tried everything I can think of to make it add just one newline at the end of each append, as I will be using the newline char to flag each entry on retrieval. I am working out some algorithms in this project to use in a project that will keep track of data in a file using csv format(just practicing saving/retrieving data from a file). The extra newline characters that are added will become a problem when I start to sort the data to display. my xSaveButton click event:
Private Sub xSaveButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xSaveButton.Click Dim boolAppendData As Boolean If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("myData.dat") = True Then

This code for a masked text box isn't functioning correctly. When I type "PM" at the end of the text, it detects it as false, and shows me the message box.

Basically I am doing a weekly assignment for unit 7 where I have to use Data bases.... I have everything going fine I used VB studio to set up most of my relationships between the Data base and VB.I have a text box called txtLast4OfSSN.Text that I need to get the last 4 of a social security number.
Now this should be simple I have another box ( a Masked Box for SSN) that has the SSN in it... This box is called m_SSN.Text....... Now I figured it would be easy, and that I could just use the Substring(7, 10) to get those numbers :*( However its not working and I am getting an error as follows:"Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length".Here is my complete code with my two buttons its mostly in the second event procedure that I have the code specifically for getting the last 4 of the SSN:

I have unformatted text in my SQL 2005 database. I'm pulling it into a masked edit text box with a (999)999-9999 mask.Unfortunately, when I attempt to save the data back it doesn't work because I don't know how to get the 'masked' information back to the 'unmasked' raw data that the database wants.
when opening a form I parse all items, in this case the Masked Tex boxes.
I am in Germany, I want . to be a thousand separator and , to be a decimal separator.
txt.Mask = "999,999.00" does not work, I do not understand why. Can anybody give me a hint? txt.Mask = "999.999,00" does also not work. Public Sub config_maskedTextbox(ByVal txt As MaskedTextBox)
When populating the data into a date masked text box for display, I am not getting the zeros in front of the month and day resulting in the date 07/02/1974 displaying as 72/19/74.
How do I insure the month and day have the correct format before the masked tb gets filled. The data type in SQL is small date and displays in the table as 1974-07-02 vS2008 / SQL2008
I am developing an application that inserts text into another application. No problems at all finding handles and using SendMessage to insert text into their standard edit boxes/combo boxes/etc.My problem is that when I attempt to insert text into what appears to be a masked

I have a process which grabs the birthdate and from a data table and display them in a masked text box for viewing and editing However when pushing the data into the textbox any preceding zeros get removed For example 05/05/2005 would display as 55/20/05__
The masked Text box is set up as 00/00/0000 The line which assigns the code is:
I have a phone (and Zip Code) masked text box on a form. I am reading data from a SQL table. If I use the code at bottom in a lost focus call no errors are thrown but I see nothing in either masked text box. However, I tried a few things to understand whats happening. I inserted a standard text box on the form and sent the Zip Code value to it and it appeared in the box no problem. Also, if I use the following code: Zip_TextBox.Text = 01940 or Zip_TextBox.Text = "12345" in the form load it appears in the masked text box just fine. So I am not sure whats going on.
The code below is in the lose focus method for a combo box on the form. It all works correctly except for the Zip and the phone numbers fields which even though I called them text boxes they are masked text boxes.
'Reads the retuned data to the variable for later use in the insertion command While VendorSearch.Read() Address1_TextBox.Text = (VendorSearch("Address1").ToString())
I'll explain the scenario. I have a list containing character list and it's corresponding unicode characters(copied from CharMap and pasted in VB editor). For example:

I have a masked text box for postal codes. When the user clicks the text box it sets the cursor to where ever they clicked in the text box. Is there anyway that if the value is empty it sets the focus to the beginning.
Private Sub Cust_postalTextBox_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Cust_postalTextBox.Click Try
[Code].....
Is the code I have that works but What would the IF statement be to check if it is empty? String.empty and "" don't work because I think it sees the mask as characters.
On my program I am trying to set a password on a masked text box, so when the program opens it will ask for a password and if the password is wrong 5 times I would like the program to exit. I know how to do the password char but can't figure out on how to set the password.
