sending a backspace to a textbox

Hello

I was trying to send a backspace

can i do it using sendkey

something like sendkey asicc_value(8) since ascii value 8 is backspace?

sure you could

text1.SetFocus
SendKeys Chr(8)

or you could do this:

VB Code:

If text1.SelStart > 0 Then
    tmp = text1.SelStart
    text1 = Left(text1, text1.SelStart - 1) & Right(text1, Len(text1) - text1.SelStart)
    text1.SelStart = tmp - 1
    text1.SetFocus
End If

more code.. but it works also

hey the backspace is taking out the whole textbox, can i not get it to take out just the last typed in character

i tried

VB Code:

txtBSrxsens1_2BPSK.SelStart = Len(txtBSrxsens1_2BPSK)
        SendKeys Chr(8)

but that did not work either, just wiped out the whole textbox :(

This seems to work pretty well for me.

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Text1.SetFocus
    Text1.SelStart = Len(Text1.Text)
    SendKeys Chr(8)
End Sub

HTH

i did

VB Code:

txtBSrxsens1_2BPSK.setfocus
 txtBSrxsens1_2BPSK.SelStart = Len(txtBSrxsens1_2BPSK)
        SendKeys Chr(8)

for some time i was getting the same problem, but now it seems to be working fine!!!!
