hi
you can use the _keydown method

Private Sub AnObject_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyBack Then
.. enter your code here ...
End If 
End Sub
 

or the _keypress method

Private Sub AnObject_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 8 Then
.. enter your code here ...
End If
End Sub

hi i am reading your problem ........
you can make one button in the code view and change name=bbackspace then its text property backspace.in property window.....now clicked backspace button
AND USE FOLLOWING CODE
Private Sub bbackspace_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bbackspace.Click
Dim d As New Integer

If (TextBox1.Text.Length > 0) Then
d = TextBox1.Text.Length
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Remove(d - 1, 1)




End If





End Sub
