CURRVAL.OCX DOCUMENTATION WHAT IS CURRVAL.OCX? ================================= Currval.ocx is a pretty simple active-x control for VB. Basically it is a specialized text box used for numeric or currency validation. It allows you to set properties to do the following things that you can't in a regular text box: 1. Set the Minimum Value Allowed 2. Set theMaximum Value Allowed 3. Automatically format text as currency ($999,99.99) 4. Control whether or not the field can be left blank at run time. 5. Show message boxes when field validation fails. OVERVIEW ================================= Here's an overview of the validation process. Based on properties you set in design time you can control the five properties listed above plus many others. When you are ready to validate the field(s) you simply call the bValidateCurrency method. bValidateCurrency can behave in two ways 1: If you specified in the property page that you wanted to show message boxes on validation failure message boxes will be presented to the user telling them why the text they typed was not valid (these messages are also programmer defineable properties). 2: If you have the "showmsgbox" property set to false then bValidateCurrency will return false and you can handle it any way you want programatically. USING ================================== It just takes a second to learn how to use currval.ocx. 1. add it to your project 2. drop it on a form and click "custom" in the property page to bring up the custom property page. 3. the properties are pretty much self-explanatory so play with them 4. drop a command button on your form and place a call to "currency1.bValidateCurrency" in the click event. 5. Have fun. SUPPORT =================================== Technical Support for this or any other BoBoSoFt is available by sending email to pcguru@cwia.com.
