[2005] NumericTextbox

Dear All,
I am trying to develope a Numeric text control box as follows.But this not working properly.Can somebody help.

VB Code:

Public Class NumericTextboxControl
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
    Private _Handled As Boolean = False
 
    Protected Overrides Function IsInputkey(ByVal Keychar As System.Windows.Forms.Keys) As Boolean
        Select Case Keychar
            Case Keys.NumPad0 To Keys.NumPad9 'Allow Numberpad 0-9
                Return _Handled = True
            Case Keys.Back 'Allow Backspace key
                Return _Handled = True
            Case Keys.D0 To Keys.D9  'Allow Decimal 0-9
                Return _Handled = True
            Case Else
                Return _Handled = False
        End Select
    End Function
    Public Property Handled() As Boolean
        Get
            Return _Handled
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Boolean)
            _Handled = False
        End Set
    End Property
 
End Class

Give us a bit of a clue....... what's it not doing? what results are you getting?

It allows both numeric and alphabets.I want to restrict to only Numbers.

I'm assuming your creating a user control ?

This code will allow only numeric,backspace and periods, it also overrides the text property to allow it to be read in the host application.

The code needs modifying to stop multiple periods being entered.

VB Code:

'override the text property to allow it to be read in the 
    'host application
    Public Overrides Property Text() As String
        Get
            Return NumericTextBox.Text
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As String)
        End Set
    End Property
 
 
    Private Sub NumericTextBox_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles NumericTextBox.KeyPress
        'basically this allows numbers,backspace and period
        'need to modify to stop double periods being entered
        e.Handled = Not Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) AndAlso Not Char.IsControl(e.KeyChar) AndAlso Not e.KeyChar = "."
    End Sub

This will stop multiple periods being entered....

VB Code:

Private Sub NumericTextBox_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles NumericTextBox.KeyPress
        'basically this allows numbers,backspace and period
        If e.KeyChar = "." AndAlso NumericTextBox.Text.IndexOf(".") > 0 Then
            e.Handled = True
        Else
            e.Handled = Not Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) AndAlso Not Char.IsControl(e.KeyChar) AndAlso Not e.KeyChar = "."
        End If
    End Sub

Dear Tinbeard,
Where do I place this codings.Can you please brief?

Basically create a new user control, add a textbox to it then place the code within the class. I called my textbox 'NumericTextBox' but you can call it what you like, just modify the names in the code where applicable.
