Appending Input to TextBox

[Richard Grene]

I am setting a textbox to a value (ex: ABC). I then setfocus to the textbox
and I want my input to start after the ABC. So if I then enter DEF, my
textbox will show ABCDEF. I need this to occur one character at a time as it
is being entered, not at validating time because I have to examine the
contents of the textbox at each KeyPress Event.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Richard

Why? What if the user pastes some text from the clipboard to edit it in
the textbox?

Hi Richard,

Probably you need only the last line, however this is nice to see.

I hope it helps?
