I need to set two numericupdown controls to set two numbers with the following format:
I've found the UpdateTextEdit() control on MS Support page but I can't understand how to use it on vb.NET.
You have to derive your own Control from NumericUpDown
and then override UpdateEditText()
. This method is Protected
. This means that it is only visible in derived classes (and in the original class of course).
In the following example I also added a Format
property which appears in the properties window under Appearance (after you have compiled the code for the first time).
This new control also appears in the Toolbox and you can drag and drop it to your forms like a normal NumericUpDown
.
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Public Class FormattedNumericUpDown
Inherits NumericUpDown
Private _format As String
<Category("Appearance")>
Public Property Format As String
Get
Return _format
End Get
Set(value As String)
_format = value
UpdateEditText()
End Set
End Property
Protected Overrides Sub UpdateEditText()
Text = Value.ToString(_format)
End Sub
End Class
