Backspace in Text boxes?

[Hambone]

I was just wondering why the Delete key (DEL) works in text boxes...... but the Backspace key does not..

Is there anyway to enable the backspace key in textboxes, or make it work?

I don't see a backspace key reference on the ASCII chart I have..

Thanks for any info

It should work.

Ack! I figured out why - but not how to fix it!

I'm using a "NON-Number-key" filter on all the textboxes:

Private Sub GameMax_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If IsNumeric(Chr(KeyAscii)) <> True Then KeyAscii = 0
End Sub


How could I check for a backspace keypress to fix this?

The backspace is ASCII character 8. Use a select case instead:

    Select Case KeyAscii
        Case 48 To 57 'Numbers
        Case 8 ' Backspace
        Case 10 'Linefeed
        Case 13 'Carriage return
        Case Else
            KeyAscii = 0
    End Select

- gaffa
