right - click

[nswan]

This is what i need to do. A number is stored in a text box. If i left click the number decreases by one, and if i right click then the number increases by one.

The problem is that when i right click a drop down menu appears!!!!

How can I get rid of this drop down menu or is there an alternative method of what I am tring to do.

Many Thanks

Nick

If you don't need to be able to type in it, you could use
a Label instead. Change the backcolor and borderstyle
to make it look exactly like a text box.

Use an UpDown control with the textbox:
Add a Textbox and an UpDown control to a form and paste the following into the Form_Load event:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    
    Text1.Text = 0
    With UpDown1
        .BuddyControl = Text1
        .BuddyProperty = "Text"
        .Alignment = cc2AlignmentRight
        .Min = 0
        .Max = 50
    End With
    
End Sub

This allows the right click menu to be retained, as users will expect!

To disable right click in a textbox, take a look at this thread.
