The percentage (%) in textbox??? 1

[mimosa]

Hi!
Please, how can I make the percentage (%)in a textbox?

The question is not clear.
If you want the % sign to appear on the side of the text box to make the user realise, then, you can create a textbox adjacent to the one where the value is displayed and enter the VALUE of the percentTextBox to "%". You can suitably size it. Also in the percentTextBox.When evet. put the code RETURN .f. This will ensure that the text box will noever get the focus. I am suggesting this as against a lebel, since the label cannot be easily matched in height to that of textbox though the backcolor can be manipulated (the visual effect will not be good).

On the other hand, if you want something like '15.1%' to appear inside the textbox myTextBox when the data, myNumber = .1513, then simply do something like:

 thisform.myTextBox.caption = STR(myNumber*100,1 ) + "%"
thisform.refresh

There are some details like scientific notation you might have to handle, but this should get you started.

Actually I should have tried it out before posting, I left out the number of places to display (decimal point counts as a place) so it should be STR(myNumber*100, 4,1)
