[dba-VB] ControlChars in C#

Hi Gustav,

In C# project you can set the reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly,
then write:


using Microsoft.VisualBasic;

....

        private void bindingNavigatorPositionItem_KeyPress(object sender,
KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
if (e.KeyChar != ControlChars.Back) e.Handled = true
}

BTW, unlike Visual Basic this "screwed" above code lines will be compiled
well if you'll copy & paste them: I mean while posting Visual basic sample
one have to be careful with line wraps etc.

C# rules! Visual Basic serves :)  (a kind of kidding...)

Thanks.

Hi all

I can't believe this:

rgs(VS.71).aspx

In Visual Basic you have a nice class ControlChars where you, for example,
ControlChars.Back for the BackSpace character.
In C# you have to write ugly (char)8 or '\b' in stone age C++ style.

So I have to write all this code to avoid the beep after pressing Enter in
the small navigator position field of the record navigation toolbar while
still be able to edit the record number with both the Delete and the
BackSpace keys:

        private void bindingNavigatorPositionItem_KeyPress(object sender,
KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            char c = e.KeyChar;
            if (Char.IsControl(c))
            {
                if (c != (char)8) 
                {
                    e.Handled = true;
                }
            }
        }

What do you do? Live with the beep or run your own homebuilt ControlChars?
