Hi All, can you please advice about special Characters in solomon. I have a textbox on screen and i want to prevent user to write "#" char. i have tried to remove the char on the "textbox_Chk" event and set it with the new value but it didnt put the new value.

Any idea.

Thank you

Are you working in a customization? Or a VBTools (SDK) screen?

If it is a customization, a quick test shows that setting chkstrg to the new value appears to have no effect.

But this code worked. (in the cName control on the Customer Maintenance screen).

If LCase(Trim(ChkStrg)) = "abc" Then

serr1 = SetObjectValue("cname", "def")

End If

Obviously that code has the potential to cause an infinite loop, so you would need to be very careful to ensure your code prevents that.

I have tried

textbox.Caption = "the new value"

&

Call setprop("textbox", PROP_CAPTION, "the new value")

&

chkstrg = "the new value"

in the chk event and all are not working are you have any idea in how to put any value or even made the textbox empty?

I'm pretty sure that I have altered the new contents of a textbox, by doing this in its Chk event

chkstrg = "the new value"

Is that the code that you used?
