Display percentage in textbox

Is there anyway to display a numeric value (such as .14) as a percentage (%14) in a windowsform  control?  There appears to be a web control to do this, but I can’t find a forms control.

Have a look at the UltraMaskedEdit control, with a mask something like ""999,999,999,999.###%"

Actually, cancel the above. Use the same control but leave the mask empty and set your FormatString property to "P". That seems to work ok.

 That didn't work for me.  Regardless of what I set the value property to, I get the decimal value displayed.  Just to be sure, is the "P" with or without quotes?

 What I really want is for the user to enter 25 and have it stored as .25 but displayed at 25%.

Hi Mark,

The only other change I think you need to make is to change the EditAs property to Double. The format doesn't use quotes; think of it as whatever would be on the other side of a String.Format  {0:P} format string. And, the way it's currently set up, to get "25%" you'd have to enter "0.25", rather than "25".

Otherwise, try the code below. It's basic but it's a start.

using System;

using

System.Collections.Generic;

using

System.Text;

using

Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors;namespace BarraCoder

{

public class PercentageTextBox : UltraTextEditor

{

protected override void OnBeforeExitEditMode(Infragistics.Win.BeforeExitEditModeEventArgs args)

{

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(base.textValue))

{

double candidate;if (!double.TryParse(string.Format("{0}", base.Value), out candidate))

{

args.Cancel =

true;throw new ApplicationException("Not a valid number.");

}

base.Value = candidate / 100;

string newText = string.Format("{0:P}", candidate/100);base.SetText(newText);

}

base.OnBeforeExitEditMode(args);

}

protected override void OnValueChanged(EventArgs args)

{

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("New Value: {0}", base.Value));base.OnValueChanged(args);

}

}

}

Hi,

 

I am looking for something similar. However, my requirement is that the user should be able to enter both number 25 or "25%". I want it to behave exactly like the UltraWinGrid percentage works, because at some places I use a grid for percentages and at some places a textbox.

 

Please let me know how I can let the user enter 25%. I tried setting the EditType as String instead of double but that behaves wierd. Kindly help.

Thanks
