You can't.

No.

I have created a few textboxes. Input may only have numeric values.

If char.isnumeric(e.char) then

else

end if

But if a letter is entered, the error I created is given, but after the letter is visible in textbox also.

How can this be done, that only the numeric values are shown?

Thanks in advance

You can use TextChanged event of your textbox for checking if the text entered conatins no numeric characters. If there is specific format of the account numbers, look into masked textbox.

I know, I checked this in keypress, but I want that the letter values aren't shown in textbox after the msgbox occures.

Like:

If Char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar) then
'Show numeric values
Else
'But here letter value is showed
MsgBox ("Please enter a numeric value: " ,vbinformation)
tb500.Focus
Exit sub
End If

Thanks

Well, do what I told you. Your code is broken for two reasons

1 - it doesn't cancel the unwanted keypress
2 - it doesn't let the user use the arrows or delete keys

As CG said, you have not cancelled the last key press. Along with this, take care of the case when user paste's anything in the textbox both trough mouse and keyboard.

I understand what to do, but since I use vb.net only for a few weeks (I always used vb6, other solution for this problem), can you help me with this code

Thanks

What error ?

You should also use char.IsControl to check if it's a backspace, etc. And if it's neither, set the Handled property of the eventargs to true. I believe you need to do this in the KeyPress event.

That wont fire in case user pastes text in the textbox through mouse.

I didn't know that, but, either way, any code that turns text into a number should use tryparse, and if that's the case, some extra code should be written to deal with it, but the KeyPress event is the best way to handle the user typing into the control.

And where would you write that? In the TextChanged or the MouseDoown event, hence what I feel is, it is better to keep the check in one place instead of two.

Well, you could do it all in TextChanged, but at that point, you have ALREADY accepted an unacceptable character, therefore, this solution is unacceptable if you want a clean implimentation, where pressing a letter or other non number/non control character, just does nothing.

Every implimentation I've ever seen, does it the way I'm suggesting. I don't even bother handling mouse pastes, if people want to do that, that's their fault. My code will still detect a non number and show a message accordingly.

Why not in keypress event? Or will a copy / paste not be recognized then?

Text box named "origens"

Use this code

Private Sub origens_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii < 48 Then ' Rejects all ascii < 0.
KeyAscii = 0
Else
If KeyAscii > 57 Then
KeyAscii = 0
End If
End If

End Sub

Create array of Images.

Private imageArray() As Image

For i = 0 To List1.Items.Count - 1
                    imageArray(i) = Image    ' Image is a Image which format is metafile
Next

The above code work properly but imagearray() is not storts images data.

So the error is generated on imagearray(i).width.
error is "Parameter is not valid"

Thanks

If you can think then I Can.

What makes you think that ?

eg_Anubhava wrote:
imageArray(i) = Image

This means that all the items point to the same image, if you change one, they all change. I suggest you read a basic book on VB, esp read about value types and reference types. I'd guess you set Image to null or otherwise dispose of it, thus breaking all the many identical references to it that are in this useless array.

i want to be Array of Images.

If you can think then I Can.

Christian Graus1-Nov-09 22:07

I know that. But, you're making an array where all the images are the SAME object. Read my post again. Why do you want all the images in the array to be the same anyhow ?

Read from XML file in word template for Office addin

1-Nov-09 23:06

My code is same but the reason of hiding is Long Code to define.
There Createmage is a function which returns the Image of passing parameter.

Private imageArray() As Image
For i = 0 To List1.Items.Count - 1
imageArray(i) = CreateImage(i)
Next

If you can think then I Can.

I m new to office addin in VS 2008.
I am creating a word template in VS 2008 now i also created a ribbon button. what i want is when i click the ribbon button it should read xml file and fill the data in the template in which there is a table.

i am reading the file on the click of a button but i am not able to access the word template table in which i want to add the data since both are seperate projects (addin project and template project)

i also used the Microsoft.Office.Interop library to access the word object but i am not able to access the table object through which i want to insert the data in the xml file into the table.

any one has an idea on how to do it?
