TypedTextBox

Allows the user to enter a typed value

The Wisej.NET TypedTextBox enables defining the Value property type for text parsing, a .NET format string (standard or custom), and format preservation settings during editing.

For a full list of properties, methods and events see the API documentation

Override parsing and formatting using the CustomFormatChanged, Format, and Parse events.

Set CustomFormat to a .NET format string. Reference the .NET documentation:

• Standard numeric format string

• Custom numeric format string

• Standard date and time format string

• Custom date and time format string

The ValueType determines the Value property type: System.String, System.DateTime, System.Int32, System.Int64, System.Boolean, System.Decimal, System.Double, or System.Single.

When KeepFormatOnEnter is true, formatting persists when users press enter or click within the TypedTextBox. When false, formatting hides during editing. For currency input, consider setting KeepFormatOnEnter to false to avoid confusion with currency symbols during typing.

KeepFormatOnEnter = true

KeepFormatOnEnter = false

How To

Format text as currency

this.textBox.ValueType = typeof(System.Decimal);
this.textBox.CustomFormat = "c";
