I think this helps... I don't know maybe there is a better way to do that,
but i used similar code in vb6....

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
If Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) Or Asc(e.KeyChar) = 8 Or Asc(e.KeyChar) =
44 Or Asc(e.KeyChar) = 46 Then
e.Handled = False
Else
e.Handled = True
End If
End Sub

I wrote this simple general-purpose key-validating function. You might find
it useful. just call it like this in your keypress event:

If Not ValidateKey(Asc(e.KeyChar), "mask") Then e.Handled = True

"mask" contains pairs of characters. The function checks that your keypress
falls between the ascii range of each pair. For instance if you want to
allow only lowercase letters just use "az". If you want only numbers and
decimal points use "09.." Include as many pairs as you like.

hope this helps
Steve

Function ValidateKey(ByVal Key As Integer, ByVal KeyMask As String) As
Boolean

'PURPOSE: check that a keystroke was allowed by key mask. return
true/false

'declare variable
Dim intCharCheck As Integer = 0

'assume invalid
ValidateKey = False

Do Until intCharCheck = KeyMask.Length Or ValidateKey = True

'check if keypress falls between pair of characters in KeyMask
If Key >= Asc(KeyMask.Chars(intCharCheck)) And Key <=
Asc(KeyMask.Chars(intCharCheck + 1)) Then ValidateKey = True

'advance to next pair in KeyMask
intCharCheck += 2

Loop

'allow backspace
If Key = Keys.Back Then ValidateKey = True

End Function

Hi Dzemo,

See this sample I once made
(The last part is to prevent that people past in wrong things)

I hope this helps?
