I'm making a calculator in C# and i have a keypress event set up. It works and all I just want to know if theres a way to not display what key i press in the textbox. Thanks :)

Cancel the event in the event handler using the args

@xoxkrissyxox
Implement your own event to handler to handle key press event. then call parent key event handler and return false so that it won't display ur keystroke.

sorry for the last reply. it won't work in C#. i was thinking about some other programming language and mentioned it in previously reply.
Actual thing will something like below:

For example you want to suppress the key "i"
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode != Keys.i)
{
textbox1.Text = e.KeyCode;
// Don't pass message to other controls
e.Handled = true;
}
}
}

If you make the set the textbox ReadOnly Property to true, it will allow you to set the text programmatically while not allow users to enter text.
