I am overrideing the textbox control to allow for numeric input only. But I am also providing Mask capabilities to the textbox. Everything works as I would like it to work, but I'd like tomimic the MaskedTextBox.TextMaskFormatIncludeLiterals functionality. The idea is that if I have "$3, 231.44" in the textbox that overriddenTextbox1.Text would return "3231.44".

I have a method that removes the formating on the mask (not the issue). The problem is thatoverriding the Text property to return RemoveFormat(Text) it gives me functionality problems on the UI.

Any Suggestions?

Hi koenyn,

Text property of textbox is getting or setting the text contents of the textbox. So if modify the text property will change the contents displayed in the textbox. Thisdoesn't like the markedtextbox control. Why not use maskedtextbox,maskedtextbox will be more convenient to expand. If you want to use text box to implemet this function, you will need to filter the string.

Best regards,
