Textbox Input Catching

[vb6dev2003]

Hi,

I would like to prevent a user from entering data in a textbox (BUT not
read-only) by catching the OnBeforeChange in managed code. Can we catch the
ascii input and reset some or all of the characters typed to nothing?

Thanks.

In the OnBeforeChange event of the textbox, try something like:
if (e.NewValue.ToString() != "")
{
string strNewVal = e.NewValue.ToString();
//perform string manipulation on the value here
//and then set the nodevalue
e.Source.text = strNewVal;
}

Just set e.ReturnStatus to false and it will not take.
