public:

member this.Clear : unit -> unit
Public Sub Clear ()

Examples

The following code example uses TextBox, a derived class, to create an event handler for the TextChanged event. The code within the event handler restricts data to numbers. After text has been entered in the control, the code determines if the text entered is a number. If the text is not a number, the code clears the text from the control and a MessageBox is displayed to alert the user that only numbers are accepted. The example requires that a Boolean variable named flag and a TextBox control called textBox1 are defined outside of this method. This example demonstrates how to use a flag variable to avoid a cascading event in the TextChanged event.

private:
   bool flag;

private:
   void MyTextChangedHandler( System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e )
   {
      Int64 val;
      // Check the flag to prevent code re-entry. 
      if ( flag == false )
      {
         // Set the flag to True to prevent re-entry of the code below.
         flag = true;
         // Determine if the text of the control is a number.
         try
         {
            // Attempt to convert to long
            val = System::Convert::ToInt64( textBox1->Text );
         }
         catch ( Exception^ ) 
         {
            // Display a message box and clear the contents if not a number.
            MessageBox::Show( "The text is not a valid number. Please re-enter" );
            // Clear the contents of the text box to allow re-entry.
            textBox1->Clear();
         }
         // Reset the flag so other TextChanged events are processed correctly.
         flag = false;
      }
   }
private bool flag;

private void MyTextChangedHandler(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    long val;    
    // Check the flag to prevent code re-entry. 
    if(flag == false)
    {
       // Set the flag to True to prevent re-entry of the code below.
       flag = true;
       // Determine if the text of the control is a number.
       try {
          // Attempt to convert to long
          val = System.Convert.ToInt64(textBox1.Text);
       }
       catch {
          // Display a message box and clear the contents if not a number.
          MessageBox.Show("The text is not a valid number. Please re-enter");
          // Clear the contents of the text box to allow re-entry.
          textBox1.Clear();
       }
       // Reset the flag so other TextChanged events are processed correctly.
       flag = false;
    }        
 }
Private flag As Boolean    

Private Sub MyTextChangedHandler(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs)
    ' Check the flag to prevent code re-entry. 
    If flag = False Then
        ' Set the flag to True to prevent re-entry of the code below.
        flag = True
        ' Determine if the text of the control is a number.
        If IsNumeric(textBox1.Text) = False Then
            ' Display a message box and clear the contents if not a number.
            MessageBox.Show("The text is not a valid number. Please re-enter")
            ' Clear the contents of the text box to allow re-entry.
            textBox1.Clear()
        End If
        ' Reset the flag so other TextChanged events are processed correctly.
        flag = False
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

You can use this method to clear the contents of the control instead of assigning the Text property an empty string.
