[RESOLVED] Format a char from e.KeyCode etc.

[thecow95]

I have a keydown event that looks like this

If e.KeyCode <> Windows.Forms.Keys.Up And e.KeyCode <> Windows.Forms.Keys.Down And e.KeyCode <> Windows.Forms.Keys.Enter Then
            Me.txtSearchBox.Focus()
            Me.txtSearchBox.Text = e.KeyCode.ToString
            Me.txtSearchBox.SelectionStart = 1
        End If

This works fine, except for when you use the number pad. For instance, if you hit '2' on the number pad, the textbox would show 'NumPad2'. I want it to just display the '2'. I have tried e.KeyCode, e.KeyData, e.KeyValue, and all of their ToString() functions, but none of them return what I want. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks for any help!

there may be a simpler solution, but you can simply extract the number from the keyname

Public Function GetNumbersInString(ByVal text As String) As String
        Dim C() As Char = text.ToCharArray
        Dim temp As String = String.Empty
        For i As Integer = 0 To C.Length - 1
            If Char.IsDigit(C(i)) Then
                temp &= C(i)
            End If
        Next
        Return temp
    End Function

i actually use this function for one reason or another in just about all my apps

I was trying to find an easier way, but had no luck.

This function gets me there though, I appreciate it!
