Hello,

the control is working excellently, but the question is, how to make it display numbers according to the locale of the application? I dont want to use Arabic numbers? want to use Hindi numbers.

To those who might need the answer to my own question:

Just change the definition of the ExtTextOut in the Utiles.cs file changing the number 4 to the number 1028

       public static void ExtTextOut(IntPtr hdc, int x, int y, Rectangle clip, string str)
        {
            RECT rect1;
            rect1.top = clip.Top;
            rect1.left = clip.Left;
            rect1.bottom = clip.Bottom;
            rect1.right = clip.Right;
            Win32API.ExtTextOut(hdc, x, y, 1028, ref rect1, str, str.Length, IntPtr.Zero);
            //http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc231172(PROT.10).aspx
        }
</pre>

Excellent, Exactly what was in my mind.

The problem im talkin about occures often after massive key pressing on focused Currency box. I dunno why but when i press a digit key and hold it for a long while i got something looks like GDI crash or something Smile | :)

and ofcourse application crash after this. Below i paste some error reports from Windows 7 and XP. I suppose this problem is related to onpaint event within currencybox.dll

I looked deeper into the source code and tried to diagnose what is goin on but i was not able to.
What could it be ?

Thank you very much for the Control.

I just noticed that when you use this control and the form has a button with a mnemonic, i.e. &Aceptar and you press the key A when focus is in currencybox the behavior is the same as pressing ALT+A.

Same happened with ProSoft Control btw.

Juan,

Your control is fantastic. You solve one problem to me.
I just add it to my project and bind it to a field in bindsource and done!
Thank you! Big Grin | :-D

But I realize that it uses some Windows DLLs.
How can I use this control in a Pocket PC project? Confused | :confused:

thanks

When tabing into the control it would be nice if it could select the entire text so on data entry the current value is replaced with the new value.

This is a great control. A min max value would be good also.

if you translate it in C++/MFC, it will be a very good thing!

First of all - Very good job!!!!!

I've tried to use the NumberBox Control from Prosoft, but it has lot's of bugs.

I have tried your control, but there are a few bugs and suggestions I would like to participate.

First of all, when I try to delete a number with Backspace, the control eliminate 2 numbers.

Can you add propertys to indicate the max and the min value.

Thank you again!

Miguel

Hi Miguel:
Thanks for your comments.

Now the control work properly

Greetings
JME.

Thanks Juan! It works good.

If I'm not asking too much, would you be interested in adding some extra features to the control, like a property to define the max and other to define the min value? Smile | :)

Thanks anyway!

Best regards,

Miguel
