Displaying edit mask as 95.25% and value of 0.9525

J Cod3r

Hi, I am using a regular expression (100|\s*(\d{0,2})((\.|\,)(\d{2,4}))?\s*\%?\s*) to display a percentage correctly on a property. The RegEx works 100% for displaying the correct value visually. But after the user has entered the value on the property i.e. 95.25% I would like to retrieve a value of 0.9525 without writing code on the property. Would I be able to do this by setting either the DisplayFormat or EditMask attribute to something else? Thanks :-D

Hi, :) I think this will help you: Percent mask - Developer Express Inc.[^], well I hope so ... :jig: Kind regards

Can't you just strip the % sign then divide by 100?

Ek het probeer ... :bob: Kan jy nie net een of ander conversion op die ding doen nie, of is dit meer as dit? Groete

That would require me to write code on that layer, something i want to avoid. I want to keep all formatting related issues within the same layer

Dit is meer as dit. Die property het drie attributes nl EditMask, EditMaskType en DisplayFormat. Jy moet EditMask en EditMaskType saam gebruik m.a.w jy se vir EditMask watter tiepe Mask jy gebruik nl enum { Simple, RegEx }. MSDN se ek behoord {0:P4} (P/p = Percentage) RegEx te gebruik maar dit werk ook nie reg nie. :confused:

Sjoe, dis is omtrent 'n mond vol. Ek sal rond kyk maar ek is self nie seker nie. Sal jou 'n mail drop as ek iets vind. :cool:

You're going to have to write code somewhere or you can't change the behavior. The easiest way when you have two properties that are the same essentially (apart from how they are displayed or their type etc) is to make one the master and the other the slave. For example - Text and Value properties, Value being the master.

private int m_Value;
pubilc string Text
{
get
{
int result = Value;
// Recalculate if needed here - ToDo
return string.Format("your format", result);
}
set
{
// Validate/Strip here - ToDo
int result;
int.TryParse(value, out result);
Value = result;
}
}
public int Value
{
get { return m_Value; }
set
{
m_Value = value;
// Raise event here - ToDo
}
}
