Limit Textbox to 32

Morning All,

I would like to set a limit to a text box so that end user only can enter numbers from 1-32 and not more.

I have setup a validation on keypress to make it only work with numbers i.e digits and nothing else however I am not sure how to set it to only allow 1-32 numbers.

I tried

Dim i as integer

for i=1to32
if textbox2.text>i then
msgbox("not allowed")
end if
next

this however didn't work. I don't think I even wrote it right or not.

Could you please put me to the right direction.

Many thanks

Regards

Jay

try this following code :
vb Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Private Sub TextBox3_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox3.TextChanged
  2.         If Val(TextBox3.Text) > 32 Then
  3.             TextBox3.Text = TextBox3.Text.Remove(0, Len(TextBox3.Text))
  4.             MsgBox("input under 33")
  5.         End If
  6.     End Sub
Never tried = Never Know
So, Please do something before post your thread.

Private Sub textbox1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus

if cint(textbox1.text) > 1 and cint(textbox1.text) <32 then
msgbox ("not allowed")
else
'do something
end if

End Sub
