ddanbe commented: Hi Ramy! Nice snippet :) +6
private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
char lastChar = e.KeyChar;
//MessageBox.Show(((int)e.KeyChar).ToString());
if (e.KeyChar != 32 && e.KeyChar !=8) //allows space and backspace
{
if (char.IsControl(lastChar) || char.IsDigit(lastChar) || char.IsNumber(lastChar) || char.IsPunctuation(lastChar))
e.Handled = true;
else if (lastChar < 1569)//the start of ascii codes for Arabic chars.
e.Handled = true;
}
}

I consider Arabic caligraphy one of the most beautiful in the world. I even can distinguish some letters in it, although I do not understand Arab, exept for some words like "salaam" etc.
I think you are helping lots of people with your snippet.

Danny, you don't imagine how much I miss you... Welcome back...
I love Arabic, that's why I did this as code snippet to help who want to deal with it, and for sure I'll be happy to find lots of questions about it.
"salaam" or "salam" == greeting words == "Hey, Hello, or bye bye" the origin "Al Salam" == some name of Allah -our God in Islam-
"Salaam" said instead of "Al Salam Alikom" == Peace be upon you.
What I wrote in the TextBox == I love Arabic language :)
