The tricky part here is, whenever the decimal sign key is pressed, the input procedure understands that the following number is to be displayed to the right of the decimal point (not left).
Now, I'm trying to do this in VB. Unfortunately, my all attempts failed with MaskedTextBox.
Do I have to hardcode this procedure in my program, or is there an easier way to get around this?
After experimenting around with DevExpress controls and adding them to my form, Custom mask do not seem to work on the MaskedTextBox. If I place a custom mask and debug, I get a null reference exception.
It seems to be the maskedTextBox's mask property that is doing this. I have tried setting the mask through design and by code. However, neither way works.
My question is, is it possible to use a TextBox as a maskedTextbox? To be able to format it? I need the user to enter in hours, minutes, seconds like hh:mm:ss or 00:00:00.
Here's the error I get:
"NullReferenceException was unhandled. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I have an officecharge textbox in which I specify how much I'm charging the customer for a specific service. If the user changes the officecharge value for that customer I would like to keep track of the previous value to then compare
it to the new value to then set a boolean variable true or false accordingly. I would like to fire/trigger this segment of code everytime the user leaves the OfficeChargeTextBox (after it loses focus) so that it can compare the final value entered with the previous value and then decide what to do based on whatever login.applies from that point forward.[code...]
I have a TextBox in a Windows Forms application in VB 2008 (.NET 3.5) where a user can key an estimate amount. I am allowing them to key dollars and cents, and I want to round to the nearest dollar. The original code had the rounding down when the data was written back to a table, and that worked fine - I have this code in a "Save" routine that fires when the user moves to a different screen or record:
Dim est As Decimal : Decimal.TryParse(txtEstimateAmount.Text.Trim, est) Dim estimatedAmount As Integer = Math.Round(est)
I decided that it might be nice to actually do the rounding as soon as they leave the field instead, so they're not surprised when they reload the screen and find that 1822.60 is now 1823. So I took the exact same code and added it to the TextBox.Leave event handler. And the weirdest thing happened: instead of the variable est being populated with 1822.60 after the parse, it gets set to -1! What the...?
Debugging the handler shows that the value goes into the parser correctly, and if I do the parsing manually via the Immediate window, it parses correctly, but when I let the code do it, it invariably gets set to -1. What's even weirder is that any number gets parsed as -1, not just decimals, and any non-number gets parsed as 0 (which is correct).
Has anybody else ever run into this before? I tried moving the code to the TextBox.LostFocus event instead, but with the same results. I have no idea what in the heck is going on, and obviously there are workarounds galore for this, but it just makes no sense whatsoever.
EDIT: Here's the full event handler (current behavior for which is to put -1 in the TextBox):
Private Sub txtEstimateAmount_Leave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtEstimateAmount.Leave ' Take any dollars-and-cents amount and round to the nearest dollar Dim est As Decimal
yeah im very far with the project right now just a day or two probably of completely finish it, but im so far that itll break alot of things if i change a textbox i have for a maskedtextbox, besides there are some things that the normal textbox does a bit differently than maskedtextbox, ive searched around the net and found nothing about this in vb express, probably because everyone uses maskedtextboxes instead xD
I would like to get the decimal character with vb.netIn Greek the decimal character is "," while in other countries they have "." as decimal character.
I read a decimal datum from my database and ask the debugger what I got:?
reader.Item(idxItem) 0D {Decimal} Decimal: 0DI want to convert it to a string because I am building an output record.? CSTR(reader.Item(idxItem)) "0.0000"I don't want four decimal places so I try to be more specific:? STRING.format(reader.Item(idxItem), "0.00") "0.0000" {String} String: "0.0000"How do I get 0.00? And if my input is 90.5, I want 90.50.
I have a textbox aka TXT_Weighting in which I place a value of %.
If I put in a number 0 < number < 100, it works.
However, If I put in 100, I get this error: "error converting Data Type numeric to decimal"
The Database Field has the DataType of decimal(10,2).
I have tried converting it to decimal, string, int, float in the application, but once it saves, gives the same error.
I know it is because of the database field having the type as decimal. But I cant stop the entire application, just so I can change the data type of the field.
How do I save it without getting this error? How do I control it from the application?

I currently have a calculation that gets performed based on the type of operation a user chooses on my form (+, -, *, or /). I have it check their answer against the correct answer and tell them if they get the answer right or wrong. I need to know how I can check the answer when they choose a division sign that checks only the first two digits of the lbltxtAnswer label. I also currently have a validation that checks for numbers only, so if the user types in a decimal, the error message displays, which I don't want it to do. Here is my calculation and validation [code]...
it should take either decimal values or integers and max length is 16if it takes decimal value as input then it should contain only 14 digits in decimal place and 2 digits in fraction part eg(1234567.12-valid) but (12345678.123 - invalid) and also(123456.12345- invalid)
I got this class from another vb help forum and I'm using it for fields that accepts monetary values. Is there a way to incorporate a '1-decimal' point only rule?ATM, I can enter values like this: 1.2.2.20000..I need to limit the number of decimal points used. (1.0000)[code]
Is it possible to have a Textbox on a form that when the user inputs data, ( during Runtime )that data remains in the Textbox for good and the Textbox then becomes read only ? Is it also possible to make it so that the CD with the programme on, is in the PC when the programme is being used. Perhaps writing the Textbox data back onto the CD ?
