Money data entryon a form...

Is it possible with the SF framework alone to make a good well-working numeric/decimal data entry on a form, either by using the MaskedTextBox or by using something else ??

As I see it the other solution could be DevExpress - but I would like not to incude this in my current project if I can!!!

Well, I am sorry, but after fighting this same issue, I decided to use the Infragistics UltraNumericEditor with is supported by the SF Infragistics wrapper.



I found a couple of implementations at Google for controlling this, but at some point I had other issues with setting Focus or using the SF TabOrderController, so I replaced all my currency/numeric/integer controls with the UltraNumericEditor and have not have any more issues, of course that is one more assembly to distribute BigGrin.

Thanks for sharing your experiance - do you have any comments on wether to choose Infragistics or DevExpress when using the SF as the primary framework for handling data access?

Well, I use Infragistics because I do have a license, so I believe there would not be a big difference in this type of control.
