D'uh! Wasn't thinking about looping through them at run time. Seems that would work just fine.
Thanks to you both:) -----Original Message----- From: dotnet discussion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Bill Schmidt Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 12:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [DOTNET] KeyPress Dan, Keep in mind that in VB.NET, all controls are dynamically created. Therefore there is nothing unusual or inefficient about looping through the Form's Controls collection at run-time. For each textbox, you may either apply Shawn's solution (best) or dynamically attach your KeyPress event handler, like this: AddHandler objTextBox.KeyPress, AddressOf frm_KeyPress Bill On Wed, 24 Apr 2002 00:55:16 -0400, Shawn Wildermuth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Why not just set the CharacterCasing property of your TextBox's?
