ascii in combo

[spooke]

I am having problems blocking keycodes on a combobox say for instance if keycode<>0 then i want the keycode as 0

in vb 6 you would use the ascii method with keypress that does no longer work have tried key up and keydown nothing seems to work.

Also when attempting to lock a combobox using the lock property does not work. the user is still able to enter text.

Thanx in advance

If you don't want the ComboBox to process the key then in the KeyPress event set e.Handled = true

What style is the combobox set to?

Lock is designer only property.
Are you trying to block the user from entering some particular character or any? If any then setting the DropDownStyle to DropDownList would do it. What PlausiblyDump showed you works. Look at this example:

If e.KeyChar = Convert.ToChar(97) Then
  e.Handled = True
End If
