Check For 3 Characters In Text Box, Pad Left With Zeros If Not Enough

Jul 14, 2009

Basically I need to make an if statement that checks the number of characters entered in a text box and pads left with 0's if there is not 3 characters entered.

Also, if letters are entered, I'd like it to produce an error message, or just not accept letters at all.

Is there someone who has done something similar in the past that might be able to help me format this textbox?

Text Box - Fill From Right To Left?

Apr 2, 2009

Perhaps I am using the wrong Keywords when I am searching..... I want to use a Masked TextBox for a Money entry point on my Form. The Mask is $000.00, the problem I have is if the user wants to enter a value $9.99 (999), he gets $999.00. I have tried the TextAlign Right, that just moves the text to the right side. The RightToLeft just means that it the entry then looks like __$999 How can I make it Fill from Right to Left? Or is there a bertter control to use? I like the masked text box idea because I can eliminate the literals for calculations that I will be doing.
