TextBox.Keypres s event

Because of a legacy (originally DOS) Sub
Procedure "AlphaInput " that is called in thousands of
places in our code, I need to be able to set a
variable, "KeyedString",t o the value of TextBox.Text
(KeyedString originally was set by tracking each
individual key pressed, independently of textbox.text)

Since we're setting KeyedString during the keypress
event, Textbox.Text is always one character behind.

That's OK if the user presses <Enter> or <Tab> after the
last printable character is keyed, because this causes
another trip through Alphainput after that last character
has appeared in the TextBox.

If the user causes the TextBox to lose focus without
pressing <Enter> or <Tab> - say by clicking a Command
Button - the final alphainput isn't triggered, and
KeyedString ends up missing the last printable character
entered.

I'm wondering if there is some way to capture the
anticipated TextBox.Text string during the Keypress event
before the final character displays in the textbox,
perhaps some property I've missed?

What I want to be able to do: A textbox is available that the user can enter information into. Specifically (for the purposes of this post), the user is asked to enter a number, and that number has an upper limit. I want to do validation on what the user enters as they type it in. I set up an event handler for KeyPress that restricts them from being able to enter non-numeric characters (only allowing numbers, decimal point, control...

Hi, I want a rich textbox that dynamically highlights particular words immediately after they are typed. Just looking for some general tips...

Hi How can I send a char to Textbox so that KeyPress event is called? I have a button and with a click I would like to send a char, e.g. "C", to the Textbox.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
