TextBox?

[perspolis]

Hi all
I want to implement a textbox that includes a fixed string and user can't
change it and just
enter info after that fixed string..how can I implement that textbox??
in my opinion I have to handle KeyDown event..does anyone has better idea??
thx in advance

You just need to set the TextBox's "MaxLength" property to limit its length.
The default is 32767.

You could use two text boxes. One locked and one unlocked. In the unlocked
text box, let the user enter whatever you would like. On the unlocked boxes's
lost focus (or whatever event) update the locked text box as = "your fixed
text" + unlockedtextbox.text

Another way would be to make a user control with a borderless label on the
left docked against a borderless textbox on the right. You could put the
label and textbox on a panel to retain the 3d edges.
