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 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'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 want that it is not possible to type anything in a textbox, but i do need to place something in it. This is my temporary
Private Sub textbox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles textbox1.TextChanged
If textbox1.Text = Nothing Then
Else
textbox1.Text = Nothing
End If
End Sub
But in this way I cant place anything either. I want only that it is not possible to type something in it.
I am just wondering is there any way I could restrict entering spaces into a textbox, or how to check are there any spaces in the text? I do know how to remove them, so I would need to check or restrict

View 4 RepliesI am working in VB 2008 and I have a textbox on a form that is used to enter a parcel number. I can enter the number in a 15 character string such as 12345678...... and it works just fine. The parcel number in real life contains dashes to make it easier to read, decipher, etc. so it looks like 12-3-45-67....... Under the textchanged subroutine for the textbox I have a case statement set up that checks the length of the parcel number as it is entered and inserts the dash accordingly.
