Hi Gerard,

It is not possible to create methods on controls in the form designer. You must either subclass the Textbox or add the new method to your existing Textbox class with the class designer. My recommendation is to subclass the textbox and use my tool (NewClass in downloads) file:9955 to reassign the existing textboxes on your form to the new Textbox class.

BTW Love your Beers!
