[RESOLVED] [2008] Validating input data

how can I stop the input of the keyboard for a user

I want that everytime the user press a key the program read what key was and only accept some keys that I want

vb.net Code:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
    If Not e.KeyCode = Keys.A Then 'A is an accepted key
        e.Handled = True
    End If
End Sub

that should work

It didn't work but I found a solution

Code:

---

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
        If Not e.KeyCode = Keys.A Then 'A is an accepted key       
            e.SuppressKeyPress = True
        End If
    End Sub

---

That was what I meant:P

Glad you found it:D
