Disable the effect of DEL key.

[samkud]

Hi Guys,

Is there anyway by which I can disable the effect of DEL key using VB.Net. I am developing a desktop application. What I want is the user should not be able to del key or ctrl-X or ctrlC when the focus is on the text box.

Any answers?

Please let me know.

Regards,

Samir.

Private Sub MyTextBox_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Delete Then
 
        End If
        If e.Control And e.KeyCode = Keys.C Then
 
        End If
        If e.Control And e.KeyCode = Keys.V Then
 
        End If
    End Sub

If you want to disable a Key in KeyDown/KeyPress or KeyUp events, you should use e.Handled = true to let windows know that the key was handled by the window. Like this

If e.KeyCode = Keys.Delete Then
    e.Handled = True
End If
