Restricting a windows textbox to digits only.

[volume]

Restricting a windows textbox (edit item) to digits only.

Is there a windows option, using .NET C#, to only allow a user to enter
digits ONLY? If so, what is the flag or setting? If no, what is the best
method to manually and robustly do it?

I have a windows form with an editbox that I only want user's to enter
digits.

Thanks in advance.

Hi volume,
you could capture the keypress event of the textbox and validate that the
character was a digit i.e.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.textBox1.KeyPress += new
KeyPressEventHandler(textBox1_KeyPress);
}

void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (!Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar))
{
e.Handled = true;
}
}

Hope that helps

You can use the Validating event to validate the contents of the TextBox.
User can't select anything and even not close the form while the contents is
not validated.
textBox1.Validating += new
System.ComponentModel.CancelEventHandler(textBox1_ Validating);

private void textBox1_Validating(object sender,
System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
e.Cancel = !Regex.IsMatch(textBox1.Text, "[0-9]*");
}
