I'm developing an app for a Smartphone and want to add a text box that only
accepts numbers (much like in the contacts, the phone # fields only accept
numbers).

Thanks!

Ok, use a standard textbox and add a event handler to for the KeyPress
event and block the keystroke there.

Something like:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal
e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
If Not Char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar) Then e.Handled = True
End Sub

Let me know how it works out!

Thanks Seth, that did work.

Now, how about this...my smartphone (Cingular Blackjack) has a QWERTY
keyboard with the numbers "on top" of some of the letters. For example, the
1 is on the e key, 2 is on the t key, 3 is on the u key, etc. Is there a
way instead to have it substitute the numbers when the corresponding letter
key is pressed?

Something like

if keypressed = "e" then keypressed = "1"

I could probably wrangle my way through this with VB6, but I'm about as much
a newbie with VB05 as anyone.

Thanks again!
