Text Input Question

using VB express, I have a textbox1.text on the form, If someone enters 114
and presses the enter key, then I want it to show another form/hide current
form, if they enter any other number then I want a message show to tell them
they have entered a incorrect number, can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
Jerry

Read up on the Visible property, and the show() and hide() methods.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...de(VS.71).aspx

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ow(VS.71).aspx

Roughly like this (in a method that responds to a click on a button on
Form1)

Private Sub btnCode_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnCode.Click

If txtCode.Text = "114" Then

Form2.Show()

Me.Hide()

Else

MessageBox.Show("Code is incorrect!")

txtCode.Focus()

txtCode.SelectAll()

End If

End Sub

This will probably work if I wanted a button to click, but how about entering
114 in the textbox and using the enter key. I'm familiar with show and Hide
and the messagebox.
Thanks,
Jerry

the following code works, but does not have the messagebox.show command in
it, where do I put it so it works?

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
If TextBox1.Text = "114" Then
If e.KeyChar = Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(Keys.Return) Then
mcc114.Show()
Me.Hide()
End If

End If
End Sub

Assuming you mean to use it to signal an incorrect code...

See above.

OK this was my initial problem, here's what happens with the code, I enter a
1, it immediately shows the message box, then I have to click ok in message
box, then I can enter a 1, then message box comes up, then I can enter a 4,
then it executes the program . I want to be able to enter 114, without
message box commng up each time (until I put three numbers in and hit enter)
Thanks,
Jerry

Ah, I missed the event you are using. You want to put your code in the leave

event procedure. That event fires when the textbox is exited by the user.
