    All of the "alt codes" are listed on that link. Why don't you take a moment and read through it?

    but it shows up as a box and it needs to be the exact thing for it to work.

    is there a way to just be able to copy the box and use it.

    Hi,

    Did you see my link in post 8, you can find a list with all the Keys enumeration.

    About your special Characters you can use something like this, it's with a RichTextBox:

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub RichTextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles RichTextBox1.KeyPress
    2.         Dim asciiInt As Integer = Asc(e.KeyChar)
    3.  
    4.         Select Case asciiInt
    5.             Case 48 To 57 'Numbers
    6.                 Call Beep()
    7.                 e.Handled = True
    8.             Case 8 'BackSpace
    9.                 Call Beep()
    10.                 e.Handled = True
    11.             Case 32 'Space
    12.                 Call Beep()
    13.                 e.Handled = True
    14.             Case 97 To 122 'Letters
    15.                 Call Beep()
    16.                 e.Handled = True
    17.             Case 65 To 90 'Capital Letters
    18.                 Call Beep()
    19.                 e.Handled = True
    20.             Case 45 'Dashes
    21.                 Call Beep()
    22.                 e.Handled = True
    23.             Case 59 'semi-colon
    24.                 Call Beep()
    25.                 e.Handled = True
    26.            
    27.             Case Else 'everything else...
    28.                 e.Handled = False
    29.         End Select
    30.  
    31.     End Sub

    Hope it helps you in the right direction.
