The best solution is to allow any input and check it in the textbox's
Validating event.

But are there any way to prevent him to write some characters.

This will prevent the user from typing an "A":

\\\
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress( _
ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs _
) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
If e.KeyChar = "A" Then
e.Handled = True
End If
End Sub
///
