hello, well i want to format a text box called txtdis.text
the contents of this will be prices so for e.g 3.25 and so on
but it ends up going further in and comes out with an output of 3.25675 and so on.
How can i cut this to make it a 2 decimal place figure like normal cash :)
cheers
txtdis = format(myValue, "#0.00")
whats the myvalue bit
just a variable
could be 3.25675 or whatever
the items that will be in txtdis will be the values coming out of a list box, like items in the list box will be prices, when they go into the textbox its all multiple decimil placed. :/
so what would the variable be :/ sorryy im a newb1e only been programming for 3 months
with no code to hand, it has to be along the lines of :
Textbox1.text = format(listview1.SelectedItems.Item(0).text, "##0.00")
thats just playing with objects and properties and in theory selects the first item i.e. item(0) and trys to display it as a decimal number, with two decimal places
