I'm developing a vb.net app for a HTC S640 pda running wm6. I am
trying to make a textbox accept ONLY numeric values. I would like to
set the keypad into numeric mode if possible. As it is now the user
has to Hit 'FN" + the number.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Look into the Microsot.WindowsCE.Forms namespace. Theres something in there called SetInputMode()

You could force the keybd_event to force the sip, (never done this) if you
are looking how to code a custom text box control, then search the archives
as this has been asked 100's of times here.
