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