NumericUpDown.DecimalPlaces

Gets or sets the number of decimal places to display in the up-down control.

[Visual Basic]
Public Property DecimalPlaces As Integer
[C#]
public int DecimalPlaces {get; set;}
[C++]
public: __property int get_DecimalPlaces();
public: __property void set_DecimalPlaces(int);
[JScript]
public function get DecimalPlaces() : int;
public function set DecimalPlaces(int);

Property Value

The number of decimal places to display in the up-down control. The default value is zero.

Remarks

When the DecimalPlaces property is set, the UpdateEditText method is called to update the up-down control's display to the new format.

The appropriate decimal symbol is determined by the regional settings of the user's operating system.

Example [Visual Basic]

The following example instantiates and initializes a NumericUpDown control, sets some of its common properties and allows the user to change some of these properties at run time. This code assumes three CheckBox controls have been placed on a form and handlers for their OnClick events have been instantiated. On the OnClick event of each check box, the DecimalPlaces, ThousandsSeparator and Hexadecimal properties are set, respectively.

[Visual Basic]

' Instantiate a NumericUpDown control.
Private NumericUpDown1 As System.WinForms.NumericUpDown

Public Sub MySub()
   ' Initialize the NumericUpDown control.
   NumericUpDown1 = New System.WinForms.NumericUpDown
   Form1.Controls.Add(NumericUpDown1)

   NumericUpDown1.BeginInit

      ' Dock the control to the top of the form.
      NumericUpDown1.Dock = System.WinForms.DockStyle.Top

      ' Set the Minimum, Maximum and the initial Value.
      NumericUpDown1.Value = 5
      NumericUpDown1.Maximum = 2500
      NumericUpDown1.Minimum = -100

   NumericUpDown1.EndInit
  
End Sub

' Check box to toggle decimal places to be displayed.
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

   ' If DecimalPlaces is greater than 0, set them to 0 and round the current 
   ' Value; otherwise, set DecimalPlaces to 2 and change the Increment to 0.25.
   If NumericUpDown1.DecimalPlaces > 0 Then
      NumericUpDown1.DecimalPlaces = 0
      NumericUpDown1.Value = Round(NumericUpDown1.Value, 0)
   Else
      NumericUpDown1.DecimalPlaces = 2
      NumericUpDown1.Increment = 0.25
   End If

End Sub

' Check box to toggle thousands separators to be displayed.
Private Sub CheckBox2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
   
   ' If ThousandsSeparator is true, set it to False; otherwise se it to true.
   If NumericUpDown1.ThousandsSeparator = True Then
      NumericUpDown1.ThousandsSeparator = False
   Else
      NumericUpDown1.ThousandsSeparator = True
   End If

End Sub

' Check box to toggle hexadecimal to be displayed.
Private Sub CheckBox3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

   ' If Hexadecimal is true, set it to False; otherwise se it to true.    
   If NumericUpDown1.Hexadecimal = True Then
      NumericUpDown1.Hexadecimal = False
   Else
      NumericUpDown1.Hexadecimal = True
   End If

End Sub
