Generate decimal point automatically while entering in textbox in wpf
-
Hi I want to generate decimal point automatically while entering in textbox of wpf. Like the decimal point automatically generated while entering amount in ATM machine. Please help thanks in advance.
Handle the focus lost event, then take the text of the textbox, and make sure it's a number, then use the Substring function to split it and insert your decimal.

You could use a masked edit box. See here[^].
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick Visit the Hindi forum here.

You can use a MaskedTextBox[^] or FilteredTextBox[^].

You can add normal winforms controls (like maskedtextbox) to WPF. From: Wrox, WPF Programmer’s Reference. Before you can use a WindowsFormsHost, you must perform three steps: 1. Add a reference to the WindowsFormsIntegration library. In Visual Studio, you can open the Project menu, select “Add Reference,” and select the library from the .NET tab on the Add Reference dialog. In Expression Blend, you can open the Project menu, select Add Reference, and then browse to the library file. On my system, it’s installed at C:\Program Files\ Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0\WindowsFormsIntegration.dll. 2. Add a reference to the System.Windows.Forms.dll library. Again, in Visual Studio, you can use the Project menu’s Add Reference command and select the library from the resulting dialog. In Expression Blend, you can again use the Project menu’s Add Reference command and then browse to the library file. On my system, it’s installed at C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\ Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Windows.Forms.dll. 3. Add a namespace declaration for the Windows Forms namespace to the top of the XAML file. The declaration should look something like this: xmlns:wf=”clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms;assembly=System.Windows.Forms” Hope this helps.

Be aware, though, that any theming you apply to your textboxes will not apply. Also, focus management in WPF is problematic enough without adding Winforms into the mix. I'd avoid this option altogether and use a native WPF version instead as there are plenty of freely available solutions and this is an unnecessary step.
