TextBox Alignment 2

[ietprofessional]

Stupid Question:

How do I align a text box to the right? and put it to currency format?

Thanks!

In code, you can set the rtl setting like this:
TextBox1.Attributes.Add( "dir", "rtl" );

For the numeric stuff, you'll need some javascript. Something like this:

<script> 
  function EnsureNumeric() 
  { 
    var key = window.event.keyCode; 
    if(key < 48 || key > 57) 
      window.event.returnValue = false 
  } 
</script>

Where you associate the function with the keypress event:
TextBox1.Attributes.Add( "onkeypress", "EnsureNumeric();" );

For currency format, you can also allow any input (at first), but have a validator check to see if it is in the proper format.

for currency:

amount = 12.99
totalAmountLabel.Text = String.Format("{0:c}", amount)

Thanks BoulderBum for the info on adding the 'dir' attribute. Is there any documentation on what other attributes are available? This isn't a property that you can set in the VS form designer so I didn't even know it existed!

No problem. TextBoxes are rendered as HTML Text Input elements, so you pretty much have access to anything to anything you see here:

ASP.NET usually takes care of most of what you need, but it's nice to know things like the event names and stuff.
