They will see the passage and they will retype it in the textbox.<br/>I want to disable the&nbsp;backspace key of Windows / delete keys of Mac so that they could not go back to change the mistakes.&nbsp;<br/>How to do this? What is the exact code?<br/><br/>-YihuanSun, 30 Oct 2016 10:29:50 GMTyihuanlaihttps://forums.millisecond.com/Topic19995.aspxNo, it's not possible. The textbox does not fire any accessible event upon each key press that occurs, i.e., you cannot count how often a given key was pressed when typing in a textbox.<br/>Sun, 30 Oct 2016 10:29:50 GMTDavehttps://forums.millisecond.com/Topic19994.aspxDave, thanks for your reply!

So is it possible to record how many times they've pressed the backspace key?Fri, 28 Oct 2016 19:13:37 GMTyihuanlaihttps://forums.millisecond.com/Topic19988.aspxI'm afraid this is not possible, neither using &lt;textbox&gt; nor &lt;openended&gt;.<br/>Fri, 28 Oct 2016 18:01:14 GMTDave
