Hi,<br />
<br />
I currently have a textbox that allows users to enter text into as normal, however I want to make sure that the text entered is in the following format.<br />
<br />
XX000000X<br />
<br />
X = Letter<br />
0 = Number<br />
<br />
Is there a way I can check this on a button press? So if the text is in that format, perform the action, else display a popup box asking the user to enter the text in the correct format.<br />
<br />
Many thanks,<br />
<br />
Paul.

Check text in textbox is in a certain format?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Visual Basic Classic

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
