The TextChanged event does fire each time a change is made in the textbox like a single character keypress.

You should be using the KeyPress event for this. You can test the character before it is added to the control instead of after. There are NUMEROUS examples on the forum of limiting input in TextBoxes using this technique so I'd suggest a search.

Just use this:

Private Sub txt1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txt1.KeyPress
    'Editing
End Sub
