TextBox formatting

Is there an easy way to format data in a textbox control?

I have a textbox control bound to a dataset and I would like the datetime
data to be formatted as "MM/dd/yyyy" instead of the standard display format.
Thanks.

Hi Kyle,

Check out this article...it walks you through data binding to Windows Forms
controls: http://www.akadia.com/services/dotnet_databinding.html. There are
Format and Parse events on the Form's BindingContext that will let you
format the data in the textbox and parse it back for writing to your data
source.

Please help. This is a real puzzler! Originally posted on microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms but no answer found! I have a read-only textBox which shows the results of a selection on another form. When the selection changes from the saved data, I wish to show it a different colour. As it is read-only the ForeColor property has no effect.

Hi evryone, I'm having trouble in formatting the inputed data in the text box so that everytime user lost focus it will adjust its value to contain the format (#,####.##). ie user will input 1111.1 it will immediately be converted to 1,111.10 as its value. I've tried using this code in every lost focus: textbox.text = round(val(textbox.text)), 2) but the problem with this is I am not getting the comma and if the user enters an exact...

Based on each textbox's current value, I set its background color. No problem with this part. My problem is that when clicking different text boxes representing the records on the continuous form, the left and the right margin areas do not always take on the background...

I want to plant an Easter Egg in our software. We have a TextBox that is multiline and used to display all sorts of messages on the screen for our operators based on database queries and such. The Easter Egg I want to create would send a dump of the data for a particular part number to the screen when a certain secret combination of characters is pressed. If it works out well, I can actually impliment it on our production floor.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
