No direct solution via a property of the TextBox. To create a Numeric Text Box, here is the example code:
Code:
Public Class NumericTextBox
Inherits TextBox
Private SpaceOK As Boolean = False
' Restricts the entry of characters to digits (including hex),
' the negative sign, the e decimal point, and editing keystrokes (backspace).
Protected Overrides Sub OnKeyPress(ByVal e As KeyPressEventArgs)
MyBase.OnKeyPress(e)
Dim numberFormatInfo As NumberFormatInfo = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat
Dim decimalSeparator As String = numberFormatInfo.NumberDecimalSeparator
Dim groupSeparator As String = numberFormatInfo.NumberGroupSeparator
Dim negativeSign As String = numberFormatInfo.NegativeSign
Dim keyInput As String = e.KeyChar.ToString()
If [Char].IsDigit(e.KeyChar) Then
' Digits are OK
ElseIf keyInput.Equals(decimalSeparator) OrElse keyInput.Equals(groupSeparator) OrElse keyInput.Equals(negativeSign) Then
' Decimal separator is OK
ElseIf e.KeyChar = vbBack Then
' Backspace key is OK
' else if ((ModifierKeys & (Keys.Control | Keys.Alt)) != 0)
' {
' // Let the edit control handle control and alt key combinations
' }
ElseIf Me.SpaceOK AndAlso e.KeyChar = " "c Then
Else
' Consume this invalid key and beep.
e.Handled = True
End If
End Sub
Public ReadOnly Property IntValue() As Integer
Get
Return Int32.Parse(Me.Text)
End Get
End Property
Public ReadOnly Property DecimalValue() As Decimal
Get
Return [Decimal].Parse(Me.Text)
End Get
End Property
Public Property AllowSpace() As Boolean
Get
Return Me.SpaceOK
End Get
Set(ByVal value As Boolean)
Me.SpaceOK = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
