I think this was worth posting as I have been looking at performing similar results myself, up until now I had been assigning the KeyAscii value within the Keypress event to 0.

Well i think this is a good move to have put your
discover onto the site, plus, sometime many people
don't have a good knowledge of VB, after all VB
is a verry Basic progamming language, as his name.
Continue to work on !! go to my Advanced code if you which too !!

Heh heh. Isn't "Lock" one of a text box's properties?

oops, wrong button! ...That is visible in the box on the side? :)

Locked
Is a standard function of a textbox, your right burbble !
In the options dialog of a text control you only need to set the locked function to TRUE

This.. is really useful.. but only to those people who.. dont know where the "VB Properties" window is.. so next time try looking at the properties of any control.. before you make yourself look bad.

8/10/2000 8:02:29 PM: Doofah
Forgive me if I'm wrong - but using locked in the Properties Window makes the text box grey....
Calling Text.Locked = True in the proggy doesn't... so although this isn't nuclear physics - he ain't looking like a fool!

Thats "Enabled" not "Locked"
So, no you're not forgiven. ;-)

I used to thought VB wasn't powerful because I didn't know too much about uncommonly used properties and functions. Now I know abot a lot, I am already Advanced in VB. Even though, this would be good for newbies. I used to have the same problems until I found out about the 'Locked' property.

Makes me glad I took the time to register to this site. Hey guys!!! A great new tip I just learned, only took me 5 years!! If you set the visible property of a control to "False", you won't see it at run-time!!!

This isn't a trick it's a property. Whats next how to change the background color of the textbox?

The code to change the color of a text box is to complicated for you fools. ha ha. but here it is anyway don't get a headache trying to read it.
text1.backcolor=RGB(int(rnd*256),int(rnd*256),int(rnd*256))
Whoa!!

Sorry, i was just beeing a little sarcastic.
but the code is a fine discovery to make and when a discovery is made sometimes people post it to help younger coders not to be ridiculed by fools.

Ya reckon that a lot of these "replies" maybe.. Uhmm.. came from the poster itself? Nahh.. too radical an idea.
Look, if the concept of a properties window is too much for your brain, you might consider another activity. Press F2 sometime, just for fun. Oh, darn, I just gave away my closely guarded secret on how to find (guess what?) LITTLE USED PROPERTIES! (and methods, and ....)

Look everyone, it`s obvious that this is a very basic bit of information, but there could still be people who know not of this.
If you see this as something foolish or such, simply leave the post be, there`s no need to diss anyone about it. Especially not the one who posted it, for he only helped others by doing so.

Ok people. Say what you want, but blow me anyway. I have been doing professional programming for about 9 years now...(vb6 = 6 years, VB.NET = 3)
Professional meaning I make 63K a year for it.
First off, I NEVER realised that hard coding that value for that property would NOT grey it out, all of you smart asses that say "RTFM" and "Look at the properties window" really shows how much of a "NOOB" you are.
You don't criticize code, no matter how small, short or useless YOU may think it is. The essence of this site is to promote ideas, help out and possibly make money on Rent-A-Coder.

Talk all the craap you want (those who criticize) but the fact that you VIEWED this post means 1 of 2 things:
1: You didn't know how to do it, then realising how easy, and wondering how you missed it - you decide to criticize it.
or
2: You saw this post and viewed it for the sole purpose of "racking" on someone for something you already knew.
What the hell is wrong with you? A TOTAL NEWBIE wouldn't know the difference between a variable and a control to save whale.

Not knocking your work but you could avoid negitive comments by simply putting 'beginer' level with your work.
That way you attract the people who need this. Sorry but no vote from me.
