Want to set textbox property that can accommodate 1 number

Question

I created 4 textboxes where I will key in my binary digits, one digit on one textbox. Now, I want to make sure that all the text boxes have a property MaxLength and that it must only accept digits not chars and size must accommodate a number/digit.

Hi @nutty, C# tag alone is not sufficient for a question like this. You should add the tag that specifies your application type like WinForms or WPF to the question so others can understand your context better. — Şafak Gür, Mar 18 '14 at 09:20

You should use TextBox.MaxLength = 1 and also engage OnKeyDown event to stop users to enter any other digits except 0 or 1.

Well you can try this one for each textbox:

TextBox myTextBox = new TextBox();
myTextBox.MaxLength = 50;

And here is a similar post regarding texbox input that accepts only digits:How do I make a textbox that only accepts numbers?

Set TextBox.MaxLength and use the OnKeyPress event to apply your restictions

private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (!char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) )
    {
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}
