Well, it's really my first time to try Visual Basic .NET, then I realized that not all my previous experience with VB6 will work smoothly in VB.NET. I am creating a simple program that will enter a name in the TextBox and will greet them by using the MessageBox class. But I wonder, since the TextBox that I'll be using is for inputting a name, I want to "trap" all numeric keys in my keyboard, I just don't know how to do it. This is fair easy in VB6, using the Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer) subroutine.
View 4 Repliesis there a way to check if a string contains characters other than numeric? ive used isnumeric quite a bit and its pretty usefull, but cant find a way to check for text in a string. Having searched around theres a few ways of doing it slowly that ive found using an array of letters and a loop / instring, but thats much more hassle than checking for numbers, so strikes me there must be a way.

I am using a masked text box to allow users to enter a serial number. The problem is that this serial number has to be communicated over the phone and people seem to be having trouble differentiating between O and 0 and I and 1.
I thought that a good solution to this might be some way of highlighting which characters in the textbox were numeric characters (as opposed to alphabetic characters). Obviously there is no way to do this without using a richtextbox and then I lose the masking ability. Highlight numeric characters in a maskedtextbox?

View 6 RepliesHow can I find variables in a string of text and display them.
For instance usually I could use the * or ? characters (in ol' batch files) to mark variable character positions.
For example, I am looking for a string "Happy" & ???? & "Birthday" in a file looking for 4 characters between happy and birthday. Is there a simple way to find these characters utilizing a variable or is there a different way to do it? Would I have to declare?? as 4 specific character spaces that need to be displayed?
