Tested. I like yours minus the fact that it can't take negative decimal value input. Also, I noticed some bugs. :confused:
If you highlight a text box (with text already in it of course), and try overwriting it, the word highlights red and doesn't do anything.
If you want to input more than 7 hexadecimal characters (since the NDS max is 8), you can't. :(

Well, yours is an all-round Number Converter. This converter is just for decimal and hexadecimal
since it was intended to be used for NDS or other console hacking. :p

Working on negative decimal input, that little '-' is proving to be pretty difficult to support. O_O
In progress though.

The highlighting... yeah, I noticed that. It only happens when the textbox is full and won't take any more letter input. It's because I check to see if any of them are full, and if they are, I deny any characters from being pressed but allow control characters, so you are able to highlight and backspace when it's full. I'll have to see if I can work around it.

As far as the hex limits go... yeah, that binary box fills up pretty quick. A feature I'm working on is being able to disable the binary box so that you can afford more digits in the other numbers... maybe I'll add a menu for it.

BTW, try resizing yours. :P

The '-' wasn't too hard. I used the KeyPress event you spoke of and allowed only numeric characters and '-' for the decimal box.
Also, I noticed something else. You can input 7 1's, but you can't input 7 of any other numeric characters. It limits those to 6 for some reason.

Yeah, 6 is the magic number that fills up the binary box, it has to do with converting such high bases (8, 10, and 16) to base-2, the digits add up. It's really just limiting the binary box to 23. Octal is a little lighter on the binary though, you can input 9 one's before binary flips out. Once you're able to disable binary, that will be resolved.
