Hi Arne,
Like as answer: http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/article/b454K-hce-b454T-a-b454c-cbetemdget.aspx
Or simply check you test box changes for digitals: http://www.dotnetspider.com/code/C-550-Numeric-Text-Box-Accept-only-numbers.aspx
(the OnKeyPress method is enough for instance)

Try this:
Public Class NumericTextBox
Inherits TextBox
Private Const ES_NUMBER As Integer = &H2000
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As
System.Windows.Forms.CreateParams
Get
Dim params As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
params.Style = params.Style Or Win32.Native.ES_NUMBER
Return params
End Get
End Property
Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As
System.Windows.Forms.Message, ByVal keyData As System.Windows.Forms.Keys) As
Boolean
'Prevent pasting of non-numeric characters
If keyData = (Keys.Shift Or Keys.Insert) OrElse keyData =
(Keys.Control Or Keys.V) Then
Dim data As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject
If data Is Nothing Then
Return MyBase.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData)
Else
Dim text As String =
CStr(data.GetData(DataFormats.StringFormat, True))
If text = String.Empty Then
Return MyBase.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData)
Else
For Each ch As Char In text.ToCharArray
If Not Char.IsNumber(ch) Then
Return True
End If
Next
Return MyBase.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData)
End If
End If
Else
Return MyBase.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData)
End If
End Function
End Class

Are you missing an import statement? Win32.native does not compile.

Sorry about that, just remove it (ES_NUMBER is defined in the same class
anyway)
