In my project I need the user to type in the following input:
9999999A
where the first 7 digits must be only digits,
and the last character must be a letter from a-z ONLY
I am using # for the first 7 digits,
which character do I have to use to allow to enter only letters ?
Thanks in advance :)

many people disagree with me, but i personally advise the mid function...
mid(string,star t character, length)
so capture first 7 -
dim str as string
-
str = 9999999A
-
dim a as string
-
a = mid(str,1,7)
-

Sorry James, but I think you misunderstood the question. MiziaQ, according to the documentation you use a question mark ( ?).
HI..
i think that you can use Key_Press Event to control what type of charatcers user can input asscoiated by Length of your TextBox Control and TextBox.SelStar t Property, for example you can allow only digits if the textbox length less than 7 and allow characters from a-z if the length=7 and selstart=6, you can try something like that
Best Regards
Edit : sorry i was have miss understand about your question, wrong answer.

If you're using MaskedBox try this : -
MaskedBox1.Mask = #######?

Hey, could you please give me the code example for that. It would help a great deal :)

Don't ask for a code. Just try to do it with your own. If you have some questions regarding about your code that's the time you can ask for our help. : )
I think you're better off sticking with the masked edit control, rather than trying to do it yourself in a textbox.

I have a masked edit box which has a value of "8/30/2004", and when i
programically set the value to mskedbox1=date, the vb blows up with an
invalid property value error. any ideas? It works ok if i set
mskedbox1="08/30/2004", but I can't seem to get the date value into the box.
I've even tried using format(date,"Short Date") to no avail. Format and
mask properties of the box are set to ##/##/####

Hi,
I need to use a Masked Edit Control in my ASPX page. In VS.Net, I added the
reference to MSMask.dll for my application & also added the MaskEdBox to the
Toolbox.
After adding the control to the web form, when I select the control & see
its properties, I do not see the "Text" property. I also try to set the
"Text" property in a javascript function, but cannot access it.
Here is the code:

Anybody could give me hint how use this control in asp.net web form.
The problem is:
I try to use COM component in my web form app by using MS training kit for
windows form application. I would like to do the similar thing.
The guide asks me to add Masked Edit Control to the Toolbox by adding
Microsoft Masked Edit Control and I did it. However, there is no Mask
property of this edit control box. Another is how declare this control.

Curently I manualy code keypress edits. i.e. allow only 3 digits before
decimal and two digits after decimal in .NET.
Is there an easy solution to mask text boxes?
The MSMASK32.OCX from vb6 does not seem to be appropriate for a desktop
application with textboxes not bound to a dataset, am I wrong?

When I use the masked edit box, I can tab to it and the cursor will go to the start of the box.
However if I click on it the cursor goes to wherever I clicked.
How can I make a click go to start position one

I have unformatted text in my SQL 2005 database. I'm pulling it into a masked edit text box with a (999)999-9999 mask. Unfortunately, when I attempt to save the data back it doesn't work because I don't know how to get the 'masked' information back to the 'unmasked' raw data that the database wants.
