intercepting key from keyboard and rejecting it completely

[alekm]

Hi,
I've got a text box. How do I intercept specific key from a keyboard and
make it as just it never happened, ie. reject it completely before even
cursor in text box moves?
thanx

You can use the KeyPress event of the text control, check for the
ASCII value, and cancel it.

Say

Private Sub TheControl_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)

' disallows chr(34) -> quote (")
If KeyAscii = 34 Then
KeyAscii = 0
End If

End Sub
