disable delete key

[juststarter]

hi,
i have a richtextbox and i want to prevent the user from deleting its
contents by using the delete key (keys.delete). How can this be achieved ? (
i guess the same would apply for textbox or combobox controls)

thx;)

How about making it readonly? Use the RichTextBox.ReadOnly propery.

Private sub richTextbox1_Keydown (byval sender as object, byval e as
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs)
if e.KeyValue = 46 then
e.Handles = true
end if

Only translated nothing added or deleted
:-)
