We often click a
backspace button in which this button is a keyboard key that display cursor one position backwards and deletes the character at that position, and shifts back the text after that position by one position.
In this tutorial we will create this button.
So now, let's start this tutorial!
1. Let's start with creating a Windows Form Application for this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Studio: Go to
File, click
New Project, and choose Windows
Application.
2. Next, add only one Button named
Button1 and labeled it as "
Backspace", and one TextBox named
TextBox1 for us to have an inputted string. You must design your interface like this:

3. Now put this code for your code module. This code is for Button1_Click as our Backspace Button:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If TextBox1.Text < " " Then
TextBox1.Text = Mid(TextBox1.Text, 1, Len(TextBox1.Text) - 1 + 1)
Else
TextBox1.Text = Mid(TextBox1.Text, 1, Len(TextBox1.Text) - 1)
End If
End Sub
Explanation:
If textbox1 has a text value on it then TextBox1.Text = Mid(TextBox1.Text, 1, Len(TextBox1.Text) - 1 + 1). The
Mid Function here returns a string containing a specified number of characters from a string in the textbox1 up to length of the textbox1 minus 1 + 1 of its length.
Len Function here Returns an integer containing either the number of characters in a string or the nominal number of bytes required to store a variable. Otherwise if textbox1 is equal to nothing or null, then textbox1 will have its cursor be vanished.
Output:
Type any word from the textbox.
Then click the backspace button.
