neater way to phrase this

[=?Utf-8?B?cm9kY2hhcg==?=]

hey all,
i'm trying to capture only numeric keys and was wondering if there was a
neater or compact way of writing the following snippet?

thanks,
rodchar

private void LayOutMain_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
switch (e.Key.ToString())
{
case "D0":
case "NumPad0":
TxbResults.Text += "0";
break;
case "D1":
case "NumPad1":
TxbResults.Text += "1";
break;
case "D2":
case "NumPad2":
TxbResults.Text += "2";
break;
case "D3":
case "NumPad3":
TxbResults.Text += "3";
break;
case "D4":
case "NumPad4":
TxbResults.Text += "4";
break;
case "D5":
case "NumPad5":
TxbResults.Text += "5";
break;
case "D6":
case "NumPad6":
TxbResults.Text += "6";
break;
case "D7":
case "NumPad7":
TxbResults.Text += "7";
break;
case "D8":
case "NumPad8":
TxbResults.Text += "8";
break;
case "D9":
case "NumPad9":
TxbResults.Text += "9";
break;
default:
break;
}
BtnEnter.Focus();
}

Well, I haven't worked with .NET key routines (I mostly write Websites).

But why not use the KeyPress event instead? Then test if the key is a digit,
and if so convert it to an integer.

Console.WriteLine((byte)e.KeyChar);

this gives u the byte value of the Eventargs e.keyChar

0-9 = 48-57

if you only want numbers try the above

Look at char.IsDigit method.

Also consider using the argument propery Handled enabling you to cancel
further key processing according to your criteria.

So something along the lines of:

void OnKeyDown(KeyEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = !char.IsDigit((char)e.KeyValue);
}

Far be it from me to dissuade you from taking complete control over the
user input :), but...

Have you considered using the MaskedTextBox control for this particular
need? You can provide a format mask that allows only numeric input.
