I'm afraid you'll have to answer him in Thai if you expect him to understand subtle remarks.
You do know Thai well enough to write coherently don't you?

I want a textbox for a phone number. I want the text box to have this format
( ) - embedded inside it. When some one inputs the phone number the first three numbers (area code) should automatically fit in the bracket area and the next three before the hyphen and the last four after the hyphen (without the user having to type the bracket or the hyphen. I have no idea how to approach the problem.
Pl help

Search your online help for "maskedit". There will be a ready-made one for phone numbers along with several other useful ones.

I found many which would format the phone number after it has been entered, but I could not find any where the bracket and the hyphen were already embedded in the textbox when it loads.
If you can direct me to one it would be great.

This one[^] is for dates in VB, but I am sure you can do the obvious translation. (I don't have C# or VS here, so I'm poking around in the dark a bit.) The main point is that the underlying MaskedEdit control takes care of displaying the extra bits as well as controlling what can be entered.

The masked textbox did the trick, the only problem was that it shows those ugly looking lines
(___)___-____
is there a way to get rid of the lines and it just displays
( ) -
but works the way the masked textbox worked. I tried providing my own mask as well, but the lines in the textbox will not go.

You can override the textbox class and make your own masked textbox.
I don't think you can remove the lines. (maybe in the onpaint event or something?)

The "lines" are underscore characters. In the corresponding Borland VCL control, you can change the character, but I don't know whether this happens in the Borland wrapper or the underlying MS control.

I know what "underscores" are, thank you

Simples! Just set the PromptChar property to space.

Great! I was pretty sure it was in there somewhere.

I've written some code that the VS designer is griping about. Isn't there a flag that I can use to make the designer ignore it?

Hi Richard,
there is the Control.DesignMode property that could be useful.

I've been digging around for a reserved word. (I feel like saying some "reserved" words)

Yes, sometimes all you need to do is open your parachute aka MSDN...

I suspect you could set the Form's AcceptButton property repeatedly, but I don't recommend it.

// Navigates to the URL in the address box when
// the ENTER key is pressed while the ToolStripTextBox has focus.
private void toolStripTextBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
{
Navigate(toolStripTextBox1.Text);
}
}
// Navigates to the URL in the address box when
// the Go button is clicked.
private void goButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Navigate(toolStripTextBox1.Text);
}
// Navigates to the given URL if it is valid.
private void Navigate(String address)
{
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(address)) return;
if (address.Equals("about:blank")) return;
if (!address.StartsWith("http://") &&
!address.StartsWith("https://"))
{
address = "http://" + address;
}
try
{
webBrowser1.Navigate(new Uri(address));
}
catch (System.UriFormatException)
{
return;
}
}
// Updates the URL in TextBoxAddress upon navigation.
private void webBrowser1_Navigated(object sender,
WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs e)
{
toolStripTextBox1.Text = webBrowser1.Url.ToString();
}
like this u can navigate in c# with enter key
