KeyAscii

[Fat_N_Furry]

Hello, hello. It's me again. I need to know what event in a text box has the KeyAscii thingy built into it. In 6.0 I know it's the KeyPress event, but in .NET?...

Thankyou for your time.

I think I should rephrase this. How do you get the ASCII code for the key the user presses in a text box?

Thanks,

in the keypress even of the textbox add the following code :

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress

Dim KeyAscii As Integer
KeyAscii = Asc(e.KeyChar)
MsgBox(KeyAscii)

End Sub

have fun

[Fat_N_Furry]

Thanks for your reply. The code you gave me worked like a charm.

u r funny

[Fat_N_Furry]

Good. Maybe you'll find this amusing, then. I need to ask one more thing of you. How do you convert KeyAscii back into a format that e understands - like from integer to whatever e is?

Thanks,
Furry

here you go :

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress

Dim KeyAscii As Integer
KeyAscii = Asc(e.KeyChar) '(e.KeyChar)
MsgBox(Chr(KeyAscii))

End Sub

nightmares . oh **** , I mean night lol

[Fat_N_Furry]

OH!!! I see!!! e is a string! That solves ALL my problems! What I've been trying to do here is disable all non-numeric keys...

nightmares . oh **** , I mean night lol

lol


Thanks!

P.S.
How do you like my avatar??

[Fat_N_Furry]

Oh, wait! I can't tell it to disable the keys! AARGH! Here's the code I was using back in the day of 6.0:

Private Sub CheckInput(ByVal KeyAscii as Integer)
 
    Dim strValid As String
    strValid = "0123456789"
    
    If KeyAscii > 26 Then
        If InStr(strValid, Chr$(KeyAscii)) = 0 Then 
            KeyAscii = 0
        End If
    End If
 
End Sub
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii as Integer)
 
    CheckInput KeyAscii
 
End Sub

How would I do this in .NET?

(well, I really like handling keyascii problems)

take this :

Dim KeyAscii As Integer
KeyAscii = Asc(e.KeyChar)
'only allow numbers, a single decimal point, backspace or enter

Select Case KeyAscii
Case Asc("0") To Asc("9"), Asc(ControlChars.Back)
'acceptable keys
e.Handled = False

Case Asc(ControlChars.Cr)
'enter key - move to next box
txtInterest.Focus()
e.Handled = False

Case Asc(".")
'check for existance of decimal point
If InStr(txtDeposit.Text, ".") = 0 Then
e.Handled = False
Else
e.Handled = True
End If
Case Else
e.Handled = True
End Select

I know you will face problems ,
cheers

This allows only numbers and backspace to work in a textbox.

    Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
        Dim I As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(e.KeyChar)
        If Not (System.Char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar)) Then
            If I <> 8 Then
                e.Handled = True
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

*In a piratish voice*

Arr!! Thankye, pirate! The code worked swell, with no bugs, unlike ye thought. About ye color-coding with text, ye only use the vbcode tags. Yeargh. It's the least aye can do for ye's, considering ye have helped me greatly in my quest for knowledge. Yeargh.

Thankye!
Arrgh and piraty stuff...

Just saw ye post, hellswraith. Thankye kindly also!
