Numeric Code in Textbox?

Could someone please tell me how to make a textbox numeric only? This would help me greatly, thanks!

It's pretty nasty, but you could just an if then statement in the Text1_KeyPress() event. Something like:

Code:

---

If KeyAscii <> vbKey0 or...KeyAscii <> vbKey9 Then
    x = Len(Text1.Text)
    x = x - 1
    Text1.Text = Mid(Text1.Text, 1, x)
End If

---

That way, if they type anything in that isn't a number, then it will delete the last typed character. It's a little sloppy, but it should work just fine.

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If (KeyAscii >= 33 And KeyAscii <= 47) Or (KeyAscii >= 58 And KeyAscii <= 126) Then
KeyAscii = 0
End If
End Sub

Here's the code that my VB book taught me... It seems simpler than the ones mentioned earlier.

Code:

---

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
    If KeyAscii > Asc("9") Then KeyAscii = 0
End Sub

---

Hope that helps.

Another way....

Code:

---

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)

If Not IsNumeric(Chr(KeyAscii)) Then KeyAscii = 0

End Sub

mhayenga,

I don't think it's a great deal, but it still takes some of special characters, which ascii number is less than character "9"

If u want to allow only numbers in the textbox, u have to include the other condition to check for ascii numbers that are less than character "0".

Ruchi,

That works fine, except it doesn't take "BackSpace" key.

Okay, if you want to use BackSpace key, then try this one ...

Code:

---

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
    If Not IsNumeric(Chr(KeyAscii)) And KeyAscii <> vbKeyBack Then
        KeyAscii = 0
    End If
End Sub

---

Ruchi :)

Thank you!

Ok, thanks for correcting me earlier... Also, you might want the If-Then statement to allow another ASCII value. The program might require the user to use a decimal point value. I don't know the value of a decimal point off the top of my head, but it should be in the VB help files under "Ascii character codes".
