TextBox KeyPress

[Jordi Rico]

Hi,
I was wondering how could I do something which was really easy to do
with VB 6.0.
Let's suppose I have a textbox in which I want to capture some key
events to handle them (for example a numeric only textbox). It is easy,
with e.handled=True.
But what if what I want to do is replacing the key I'm pressing with
some other code? For example, catching all the vowels keys and
replacing with "*", so when they are writing in the textbox, a message
like "I like cats" would show like "* l*k* c*ts". I don't have access
to replace the incoming key, so no idea of doing this...
Thanks!

Well, you can say that e.handled = True and then manually append the * to
the string in the text box yourself.

Re: TextBox KeyPress

Hi,

Not sure what you mean by 'I don't have access to replace incoming key'.
This might work for you:-

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPre ss(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.KeyPressE ventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPre ss
If e.KeyChar = "e" Then 'Add additional Boolean logic for other
vowels
TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & "*"
TextBox1.Select ionStart = TextBox1.Text.L ength
e.Handled = True
End If
End Sub
