    Dave,

    I found out how to add "^-" on click of button to maskedtextbox without it removin the text that was typed in. the Code is below:

    Private Sub Button22_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button22.Click

    Me.MaskedTextBox1.Text = "^-" & MaskedTextBox1.Text

    End Sub

    However, The text "^-" is added at the begining in the Masked textbox, for e.g.

    I type in Xp0gam3r, and I want the "^-" to show up after the letter r, ut instead, it shows up before the text Xp0gam3r.

    Any ideas on how to fix this problem


  • libyan

    thx again dude...but wna i tested the software....i had another problem...wen i click the buttons...they enter the text into the textbox but they rub out wt ws written and paste the code i put in for the button!!! i dnt wnt tht to happen....wt should i do

    e.g. I had written Xp0gam3r in the textbox

    wen i clicked button...the code "^1" didnt just come up in the text box...but rubbed off Xp0gam3r

    so wt ws left in the text box ws ^1...n i dnt wnt tht to happen...!!

    Please reply as soon as possible


  • DOSST

    you simply switch them round!

    Me.MaskedTextBox1.Text = MaskedTextBox1.Text & "^-

    damn man ur gd...lol...thx alot....wt bout my other problem, got an ideas


  • Deldy

    you could do that but the specific question was using a clipboard therefore I showed an example of using a clipboard.

  • James_Steven

    Clipboard

    What's wrong with

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    MaskedTextBox2.Text = "I am saying " & MaskedTextBox1.Text
    End Sub

    and why use a masked text box anyway

    Or have I lost the plot completely


  • Pankaj11

    If you want quote marks to show you have to use two of them, e.g.

    TextBox1.Text = " ""This is a test"" "

    answer 1)

    double click the button to make a click event. Then....

    Me.textbox.Text = "^1"

     

    answer 2)

    double click button to make a click event. Then....

    ClipBoard.SetText(Me.textbox1.Text)

    Me.textbox2.AppendText("I am saying " & ClipBoard.GetText())



  • foolsid

    Well, instead of

    MaskedTextBox1.Text = "^-" & MaskedTextBox1.Text

    just use

    MaskedTextBox1.Text = MaskedTextBox1.Text & "^-"

    or use appendtext

    MaskedTextBox1.AppendText("^-")
