Hi,
I am trying to allow users to only be able to enter numeric numbers
into a textbox. The problem is that I cannot move focus with the tab
key even if I allow it as an allowable key stroke. I have successfully
achieved this thanks to abit of code I found from within these forums
(thanks who ever posted it!):
Protected Overrides Function ProcessDialogKe y(ByVal keydata As
System.Windows. Forms.Keys) As Boolean
If txtboxAB.Focuse d Then
Select Case keydata
Case Keys.D0, Keys.D1, Keys.D2, Keys.D3, Keys.D4,
Keys.D5, Keys.D6, Keys.D7, _
Keys.D8, Keys.D9, Keys.Back, Keys.Decimal,
Keys.OemPeriod, Keys.NumPad0, Keys.NumPad1, Keys.NumPad2,
Keys.NumPad3, _
Keys.NumPad4, Keys.NumPad5, Keys.NumPad6, Keys.NumPad7, Keys.NumPad8,
Keys.NumPad9, Keys.Delete, KEYS.TAB 'accept digits only
Return False
Case Else
Return True
End Select
Else
Return MyBase.ProcessD ialogKey(keydat a)
End If
End Function
The problem I have is that the Keys.TAB does not seem to work. When it
goes into the function it detects that a TAB key has been pressed (the
same as the rest of the number keys) however it does not move the
focus to the next textbox. Does anyone know how I can make this work??

-- allow the base class to handle these keys in the normal way instead of
returning false.
replace 'Return False' with 'Return MyBase.ProcessD ialogKey(keydat a)'

Return True

Return MyBase.ProcessD ialogKey(keydat a)

If you are going to be using this kind of a textbox often, I would suggest
you create a user control derived from the textbox and override the
ProcessCmdKey method in your user control adding this code there so that you
don't have to do it over and over again whenever you need this
functionality.
hope this helps..

sorry - I meant ProcessDialogKe y method.
Imran.
This change will allow for the tab key to be processed correctly.
Protected Overrides Function ProcessDialogKe y(ByVal keydata As System.Windows. Forms.Keys) As Boolean
&nb sp; If TextBox1.Focuse d Then
&nb sp; &nb sp; Select Case keydata
&nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; Case Keys.D0, Keys.D1, Keys.D2, Keys.D3, Keys.D4, Keys.D5, Keys.D6, Keys.D7, _
&nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; Keys.D8, Keys.D9, Keys.Back, Keys.Decimal, Keys.OemPeriod, Keys.NumPad0, Keys.NumPad1, Keys.NumPad2, Keys.NumPad3, _

Powerguy,
When you want another sample, this works as well when somebody paste a
charachter in the textbox .
I hope this helps?
Cor
Private Sub textbox1_KeyUp( ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows. Forms.KeyEventA rgs) Handles textbox1.KeyUp
If e.KeyValue <> 8 Then
If Not IsNumeric(TextB ox1.Text) Then
If TextBox1.Text.L ength > 0 Then
MessageBox.Show ("Only numeric is allowed")
TextBox1.Select ionStart = TextBox1.Text.L ength - 1

Thanks Imran and Cor!
Both your posts helped me alot. Imran, my testbox's can now accept
and process the TAB keys correctly. I did have a problem with the
shift + Tab key combination thou but I managed to figure it out as
follows:
Protected Overrides Function ProcessDialogKe y(ByVal keydata As
System.Windows. Forms.Keys) As Boolean
If txtboxAB.Focuse d Or txtboxBC.Focuse d Or txtboxAC.Focuse d Or
txtboxAE.Focuse d Or txtboxBE.Focuse d Or _
txtboxCE.Focuse d Or txtboxHA.Focuse d Or txtboxHB.Focuse d Or
txtboxHC.Focuse d Or txtboxER.Focuse d Or txtboxHE.Focus Then
Select Case keydata
Case Keys.D0, Keys.D1, Keys.D2, Keys.D3, Keys.D4,
Keys.D5, Keys.D6, Keys.D7, _
Keys.D8, Keys.D9, Keys.Back, Keys.Decimal,
Keys.OemPeriod, Keys.NumPad0, Keys.NumPad1, Keys.NumPad2,
Keys.NumPad3, _
Keys.NumPad4, Keys.NumPad5, Keys.NumPad6, Keys.NumPad7, Keys.NumPad8,
Keys.NumPad9, Keys.Delete, Keys.Tab, Keys.ShiftKey, (Keys.Shift +
keys.Tab) <--- to get Shift and Tab key to work!
Return MyBase.ProcessD ialogKey(keydat a)
Case Else
Return True
End Select
Else
Return MyBase.ProcessD ialogKey(keydat a)
End If
End Function
Cor, I forgot completely about the context menu and copying and
pasting. I actually didn't want the textbox to beable to have this
functionality so I managed to iliminate it with the following:
Dim cm As New ContextMenu
txtboxAB.Contex tMenu = cm
Thanks again you guys, you helped me a heap!
