I want to exchange the functioning of backspace and delete key e-g if i press backspace it should delete the character on the right side of cursor and vicee versa for delete key. How can i implement this in rtb?

to be honest, i think you're going to have to hook into the rtb proc and change the key inputs to bamboozle the rtb into thinking you sent it a delete key instead of a backspace and vice versa.

Uh...
[code]Private Sub RichTextBox1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
  If KeyCode = vbKeyBack Then
    KeyCode = vbKeyDelete
  ElseIf KeyCode = vbKeyDelete Then
    KeyCode = vbKeyBack
  End If
End Sub[/code]

or i guess that will work too :X

Thnx I'll check that

yeah.....it worked. thnx a lot.
