anyone know how to do the backspace coding?

example.

textbox1.text with abc
i click a button it remove "c"
i click again it remove "b"
i click again it remove "a"

something like this?

See if this helps.

'// Give focus to TextBox and Send the BackSpace key.
        TextBox1.Focus() : SendKeys.Send("{BACKSPACE}")

Or you can use this, which only removes the last char. unlike the SendKeys code.

With TextBox1
            If Not .Text = "" Then .Text = .Text.Substring(0, .TextLength - 1)
        End With

what about 2 textbox?

See if this helps about recognizing which TextBox is selected.

Public Class Form1
    Private mySelectedCoolTextBox As TextBox '// used to determine which TextBox has Focus.

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        mySelectedCoolTextBox.Focus() : SendKeys.Send("{BACKSPACE}") '// send the BackSpace key to your selected TextBox.
    End Sub

    Private Sub TextBox1_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
                                    Handles TextBox1.GotFocus, TextBox2.GotFocus
        mySelectedCoolTextBox = CType(sender, TextBox) '// set your selected TextBox.
    End Sub
End Class

Thanks Codeorder. between i solve using aother coding you want to find out how i do it?

Not really interested, but others might find it useful. Do post your solution.

If textbox_GotFocus = 1 Then
            With textbox
                If Not .Text = "" Then
                    .Text = .Text.Substring(0, .TextLength - 1)
                End If
            End With
        ElseIf textbox_GotFocus = 2 Then
            With textbox2
                If Not .Text = "" Then
                    .Text = .Text.Substring(0, .TextLength - 1)
                End If
            End With
        End If
