          Use this format tag: %.2f instead.

            Don't you read documentation, do you? :mad: try: csText.Format("%.2f", nSum); BTW nSum is a misnaming for a float if you are using Hungarian Notation. :-D

              On my system it works pretty well, anyway, see [^] or [^]. :)

                    What do you mean with the generic is not working? :confused: Please detail the misbehaviour (i.e. obtained result vs expected result). BTW Have you correctly declared nSum as floating point number? :)

                        don't use atoi(). instead use atof() I think you must read the documentation rather than starting to build on the project. atoi converts a string to int and not to a float and then when you add them it returns an int in uSum which is just printed as a float value.

                          you must declare uSum as float. and atof() instead of atoi(). float nSum = 0; float uSum = 0;

                              because nSum has data type int. :)

                                uSum is an int. so you would need to use typecasting or declare uSum as a float. I think you are missing on the basics. :|

                                It would be better if you read some tutorials on typecasting, using variables and reading some more basics and some more............................and a few more....................:rolleyes:

                                  You declare an integer, how would you expect to store a floating point value into it and expect that it still holds a floating point value ? I think you REALLY need to find some good book about the basics of C++. I mean, knowing what an integer and a double are, is at least the bare minimum. It's the thing you learn at very very begining.

                                        to int mean you're writing in an int ! you know what ? go by a C/C++ book and learn that language biefore trying to use it any further (or swith to VB :zzz: )
