Ghost value in textbox

Hi, I have an empty textbox .
Now this is very weird!

Code:

---

If textbox1.Text <> "" Then
            MsgBox("It's not empty")
        Else
            MsgBox("It's empty")
        End If

---

I dont write anything in the textbox but it still says "it's not empty!" if I put the cursor in the text field and press
"delete" even though i didn't write anything, it then says " it's empty!" .
Weird stuff!

Spaces are characters too! In a multiline box returns are characters too too! Tabs are characters too too also! Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there!

Yes. the problem was in the text properties box. I deletedwht seemed to be a blank space.
It's working now.
Is there a function like PHP "trim()" to trim spaces or any other to prevent it interpreting spaces as characters?

Thanks

Yup, and strangely enough it's TextBox1.Text.Trim()

lol
Cheers :)
