[RESOLVED] Hide decimals in text box??

I'm wondering if there is a way to show a decimal (example 100.52) as 100 in a text box without losing the .52 cents? Kind of like in Excel how you can have a decimal in a cell but format it to not show the cents... but when you sum() the cells, the cents still add up.

I hope that made sense...

Any ideas?

On entering text do something like this:

Text1.Tag = Text1.Text
Text1.Text = Int(Text1.Text)

MsgBox Text1.Tag

Tag will hold the full value and text will hold the rounded (integer) value. You can also use the Round function to customize rounding in a different way if you need. But you would also need error checking because if you entered text ("asdf" for example) before running the code you would get an error.

So:

vb Code:

If IsNumeric(text1.text) Then
  Text1.Tag = Text1.Text
  Text1.Text = Int(Text1.Text)
else
  Msgbox "Where I come from " & text1.text & " is not a number!"
  if isnumeric(text1.tag) then
    text1.text = text1.tag
  else
    text1.text = "0"
  end if
end if

Build a form with a list box, a label, and a text box that will show the correctly rounded number. Then click the list box to show the rounded number in the text box.

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim MyNum As Single, Sum As Single
Randomize
For I = 1 To 100
    MyNum = Rnd * 500
    List1.AddItem Format$(MyNum, "###.##")
    Sum = Sum + MyNum
Next
Label1.Caption = Format$(Sum, "##,###.###")
List1.ListIndex = 0
End Sub

Private Sub List1_Click()
Text1.Text = Format$(List1.List(List1.ListIndex), "###")
End Sub

---

The label shows the exact sum of all the numbers in the text box, rounded to three digits to the right. I rounded the list box values to two digits to the right.

Perhaps this is simpler:

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Text1.Tag = Text1.Text
End Sub

Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
    If Text1.Tag <> "" Then Text1.Text = Text1.Tag
End Sub

Private Sub Text1_LostFocus() '<<<=== check syntax
    With Text1
        If .Tag <> .Text Then .Tag = .Text
        '-- round it if .Text is a number
        '-- otherwise the next line below has no effect
        .Text = Format$(.Text, "0")
    End With
End Sub

---

On "summing", use .Tag instead of .Text

Thank you for the advice. I have never used .Tag before so I will give it a try. It sounds like that is what I am looking for.

Thank you everyone!
