I have a masked edit textbox in my program with the mask value set to ####

I can however enter a value like 5 55 which can cause alot of problems throughout the program.

It seems that the space character, left & right arrow keys (which produce spaces) are the only character other then numbers that can be accidently added to the field.

How can I handle this type of problem to not allow the user to enter the space in the field using spacebar or left & right arrow keys?
 
You could use the KeyDown or KeyUp event to filter out spaces,

MyTextBox.Text.Replace(" ","")
