    You need to wire into the on on text changed event for individual character management

    Private Sub TextBox1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyUp
    If e.KeyData.ToString.ToLower.Equals("h") Then TextBox1.AppendText("ello" & Environment.NewLine)
    If e.KeyData.ToString.ToLower.Equals("b") Then TextBox1.AppendText("ye" & Environment.NewLine)
    End Sub

    What ccoonen has written is for h and b as asked by you in the first post. If you want such quick words for other letters, you will need to add same type of statement to each letter.

    For example if you want "contact" if "c" is pressed, then add,
    If e.KeyData.ToString.ToLower.Equals("c") Then TextBox1.AppendText("ontact" & Environment.NewLine)
