I have a masked text box of an IP address. the mask is set as 099.099.099.099
and it allows user to enter space bar. I' like to know how to disable the space bar key i.e. when a user press space bar then nothing happen, the cursor is still at the same position..
I've tried to use the keyDown and keyPress with the e.handled = true;
but it dose not work.
Can anyone help me
Thank you

hi,
just one more thing to what peter said
9 mean a digit or space
0 is just a digit
or you can use #
you will find all sympols that you can insert as mask in your maskedtextbox

See if this helps
private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e){
if (e.KeyChar == ' ' ) e.KeyChar = (char)0;
}
By changing the numerical value of the e.KeyChar to 0, it is seen as null. Don't use the null word though;

hi,
i've tried what you have suggested (also try 000.000.000.000). However, the space bar can still be pressed i.e. the cursor still move to the next position.
did i miss out anything
Thankyou

The '9's in your mask mean numbers 0-9 or space. For an IP you probably want a mask of "990\.990\.990\.990" Using "\." instead of '.' should avoid having the decimal point being globalized based on the user's local.
