I have a text box that displays a phone number. The data is coming from a database.Right now it just displays as "xxxxxxxxx". I'd like to display it as "xxx-xxx-xxxx" or even "(xxx) xxx-xxxx"Here's the code that I'm currently using to display the phone number - PhoneTextBox.DataBindings.Add("text", aBindingSource, "Phone")What can I add to this line to get some formatting?
View 2 RepliesI have a databound textbox that I would like formatted as a phone number ((###) ###-####), instead of being displayed as 10 numbers.
I'm using this on a databound label, which works fine. The same doesn't work on a textbox, though.
phoneNumber = CDbl(lblPhoneNumber.Text)
lblPhoneNumber.Text = phoneNumber.ToString("(###) ###-####")
Anyone know of something that will work with a textbox?
I have a textbox for a phone number that formats the phone number to look like this:(123) 456-7891

I have a window form with a label. On the form I have a dataset, bindingsoure, and tableadaptor (all created by the IDE in response to binding the text property of the label) To fill the datatable, the IDE created this: Me.ClientsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.MyDataSet.Clients) Works fine. The bound field is a phone number, stored in the db as a 10 digit numeric string I need to format this with the standard ()-, and I have a function that will do just that. How can I apply the formatting so the phone number appears in the label properly?

View 6 RepliesI want to format several textboxes so that they would accept a decimal number like 2356.90. Now, let me first describe to you how I designed the designers view.. or rather I am going to attach what I did.
Ok... first the textbox SUM OF THE BILLS i would want to display two decimal point places.. so that when a person clicks the click for sum button, it calculates the sum of the bills and places it in the textbox. I got this code so far...
Code:
Private Sub txtJanuaryBillsSum_TextChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtJanuaryBillsSum.TextChanged
txtJanuaryBillsSum.Text = Format(Convert.ToDouble(txtJanuaryBillsSum.Text), "####.##")
[Code]....
Everything was fine and it was running ok but when i added the code for the format of the textbox I suddenly got that error.
I'm having trouble getting a numeric format out of a textbox.I can do this in the textbox validating event, but I need commas to be entered into the textbox as the user actually types the data, not after they leave the textbox.. the reason is that they are typing really large numbers and can easily lose track of 0's or the total number if there are no comma seperators.I tried to do this through the keydown event in the textbox, but that doesnt work the comma gets inserted but the cursor goes into the begining of the string so anything new i type goes ahead of the old stuff.is there really no formatting on the properties level of a textbox??? how can there be no datamask?
View 4 RepliesI'm playing with a simple string replacement editor for editing VB.Net functions outside of VB. Is there a way to apply VB.Net code formatting to a string?
For example. The txtboxCodeEntry looks like this:
If strVar="dummy" then 1 else 0 Endif
I would like it to "autoformat" to:
If strVar = "dummy" Then
1
Else
0
End If
The formatting would match whatever formatting VB.Net does when you're editing code in the Visual Studio IDE.
All - I have a form that has two databound textboxes on it. To keep it simple, they are: Quantity & Value For BOTH of these text boxes, the TEXTCHANGED action will multiply the two and present the result in a LABEL. This works 100%.

For BOTH of these text boxes, the TEXTCHANGED action will multiply the two and present the result in a LABEL.This works 100%.NOW - If I choose to add formatting to either of these text boxes, the calculation will not work. As one might guess, QUANTIY is formatted as NUMBERIC with zero decimal places and VALUE is formatted as CURRENCY with 2 decimal places.

I have been working on some code that prints a textbox that lists contact information. When I try to print it, it doesn't print out the tabs that I used to format the text. Here is my code:

I've made a user control (http:url.....)I'm trying to format the text based on the data type e.g.:
Date
Numeric - 2 Decimals
Numeric - 0 Decimals
String
Now, I've added a property so that the user can decide at design time, what format he wants for the textbox. I've also made the options an enum. And then the coding in a sub. But not sure what I have to do with the sub.When I put it in the TextChanged event, then I get the weirdest behaviour from it.LIke when I typed in 1234 on Numeric0Decimals, after I typed 4, the cursor jumped to the first position of the textbox...On type Date, I just type in 2009/08 and then again it just jumps to the front and set the text to 01/08/2009 .So obviously can't place the sub in the textchanged event...
Private msTextConversion As TextConversionOptions
Enum TextConversionOptions
DateType[code]....
I'll obviously still change my sub to make sure that the text entered is numeric,or string, or valid date etc. Just didn't get around that part yet.
So I'm using a plain TextBox to display output from an ongoing background process. I've created a 'report string' that displays in my textbox like it has 3 columns; there's a VariableName, a VariableValue, and a VariableEffect (showing how applying that variable to the process affected it).In my textbox, any VariableValue entry that has 17 or greater characters gets 1 tabstop between Value and Effect; any entry 16 or less gets 2 tabstops, and any value 7 or less gets 3 tabstops which very neatly lines up the 3 columns.
