Textbox

[lothos12345]

Using visual basic I want to prevent the user from entering '*' into a textbox. How can this be done? Any help offered is greatly appreciated.

try the keypress event and the e from eventargs has all the secrets.

for example

e.cancel
e.keychar

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = "*" Then
e.Handled = True
End If
End Sub

Sometimes I feel that's my role in life. My wife certainly thinks so....
