I'm using the below change event to prevent symbols from the textbox. I have tried to use it under Exit but it's not working.
can someone help me to validate this under the Exit event?


VBA Code:
Private Sub TxtName_Change()

Dim LastPosition As Long

Const PatternFilter As String = "*[!0-9A-Za-z ]*"

Static LastText As String
Static SecondTime As Boolean
If Not SecondTime Then
With txtName
If .Text Like PatternFilter Then
MsgBox "Special Character is not allowed in this tab", vbExclamation, "Special Character Found"
SecondTime = True
.Text = LastText
.SelStart = LastPosition
Else
LastText = .Text
End If
End With
End If
SecondTime = False
 
End Sub

Thank you for your support, It working fine.

do you have any idea to make this code simple like the below code, as it is difficult to understand?

VBA Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)

With TextBox1
    If .Value <> "" Then
        If Not .Value Like "[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]0[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9]" Then
             MsgBox "Wrong input", vbExclamation, "Incorrect Number"
            Cancel = True

        End If
    End If
End With


End Sub
