Problem with MaskEdBox mask and settings
in [Visual Studio]
|
From: WonderMan on 2 Apr 2008 10:39 Hello, I am working on a VB6 application which includes a MaskEdBox to allow user to input a percentage value. For the moment, it only allows to input entiere data (I mean data with no decimal coma of decimal point, like 10, 22, and so on). I need to allow the user to input values like 22.56 or 33.12 and do on. Can somebody help me with the settings I need to use in the Property Page of the MaskEdBox to obtain a mask like this (2 figures before the decimal coma, and 2 figures after the decimal coma ?) Thank you for your help.

I tried the following : Settings for the control (nammed MyField) : Mask = ##.00 Format = 0 And I tried to use it in the following way : MyField.Text = Format("10", "##.00") But I alway get an error "Invalid property value" ... BTW, the Country Settings of my PC are set for France (if that makes any difference).

It seems that the only way to make it work is using : MyField.Text = Format("10", "##,00") (not the coma, in the format string) as in France we use 12,34 and not 12.34 But I need to make the aaplication international, since it is supposed to work in Lebanon ...

Why not do this: Private Sub Form_Load() MaskEdBox1.Mask = "##.##" End Sub Private Sub MaskEdBox1_LostFocus() MaskEdBox1.Text = Replace(MaskEdBox1.Text, "_", "0") End Sub I've put the Replace function in the LostFocus event just for simplicity, but you can ut it wherever ele suits your purposes.
