textbox which allow only numbers and character 'p'

The Solution 1 to 4 given already are good and provide the functionality required to some extent.

But to validate the text being pasted I think the WndProc method explained here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.wndproc.aspx[^]
is to be handled and to allow the copy, paste etc from key board KeyDown event is to be handled.

The list of Windows Messages are given here
List Of Windows Messages[^]

The text to be pasted is combined with the existing text and tested with Regex with pattern "^\d*p?\d*$" before being pasted.

Since, WndProc is a protected method, the TextBox is to sub classed to provide the desired functionality as shown below:

public class NumTextBox : TextBox {
    protected override void WndProc(ref System.Windows.Forms.Message m)
    {
        try {
            if (m.Msg !=0x302) {
                base.WndProc(ref m);
                return;
            }
            string modifiedText = Text + Clipboard.GetText();
            if (Regex.IsMatch(modifiedText,@"^\d*p?\d*$",
                    RegexOptions.CultureInvariant | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)){
                Text = modifiedText;
                SelectionStart = Text.Length;
            }
        } catch  {

        }
    }

    protected override void OnKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs args) {
        if (args.Control || args.Alt)
            return;

        switch(args.KeyCode){
            case Keys.End:
            case Keys.Home:
            case Keys.Left:
            case Keys.Right:
            case Keys.Back:
            case Keys.Delete:
                return;
        }

        if (!char.IsDigit((char)args.KeyData) &&
            (args.KeyCode != Keys.P || (args.KeyCode == Keys.P
                &&  Text.ToLower().Contains("p")))){
            args.SuppressKeyPress=true;
        }
    }
}
