How can I insert a backspace into a text box, similar to CRLF?

e.g.

txt.text=txt.text & CRLF <---- needing to be a backspace etc...

The reason im asking is that the text box seems to add and CR when i press enter but i want the cursor to go the the very end of the text, which it doesn't


The output is :-

>
>
|

which is wrong it should be:-

>|

There's an other soluce but this work:
txt.Text=SubString(txt.Text,0,StrLength(txt.Text)-1)

But there's an other soluce who is better I think...

Edit:
With the hardware Lib you can, KeyPress(8)....

Klaus avait trouvé 99% de la solution mais le caractère était écrit seulement mais sur le clavier le 8 correspond bien au backspace...
(Sorry I need speak french sometime lol)

Hmm neither ways seem to work, the hardware lib doesnt seem to do anything, but i am using the desktop one, the substring seems to blank out a few lines, plus that would be slow to use. Is the text box designed to add a CR?

Try this one:
Sub TextBox1_KeyPress (key)
If key=Chr(13) Then
txtcon.IgnoreKey
txtcon.Text=TextBox1.Text&CRLF&">"
txtcon.SelectionStart=StrLength(txtcon.Text)
txtcon.ScrollToCaret
End If
End Sub
Click to expand...
