So you want the textbox text to be a max length of 8 and if it goes over, remove the trailing chars?

I don't understand you sunshine... @Ell0ll

firstly > thanks for reply

2nd my text box max length is 8 when i click the button > check the text box

if it has less than max length lets say 5 characters

then fill the last 3 character with 0

@Ell0ll
You mean something like this

Code:

    Sub TestIt(ByRef TB As TextBox)
        For i = TB.Text.Length To TB.MaxLength - 1
            TB.Text += "0"
        Next
    End Sub

And you said something about using it on a button

Code:

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        TestIt(TextBox1)
    End Sub

Might be a better way but this was the first thing that came to mind.

@Pingo please can you make another code that append 0 at the first of textbox

if any one can do that it will be good

thanks in advance

@Pingo / OP

I think there is a string function for this... I found it when writing a "pad left w/ 0's" function for my assembler project.

.PadLeft(mazSize, "0") '// '0' is the char to be added on, maxsize = max string length
.PadRight(maxSize, "0")

Probably the same efficiency. : )

Works for me.

I assumed your text box is named "TextBox1" ... mine is txtOutput ; )
