Ignoring keystrokes 1

[fattyfatpants]

I am wondering how I might go about ignoring certain keystrokes but not others.

Example: I want a user to only enter a 10 digit telephone number without dashes and other non numeric info

I tried coding in the KeyDown event to look for any non numeric info and ignore it

Private Sub txtPhone_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtPhone.KeyDown
        Select Case e.KeyCode
            Case Keys.D0 To Keys.D9, Keys.Delete, Keys.Back
                'all is good
            Case Else
                'ignore the key like it was never pressed
        End Select
    End Sub

Handle it in the KeyPress event by
e.Handled = True
