    Text1.text = cstr(int(45.888888 *100)/100)
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

    The more elegant way to do stuff like this it is to use the Format() and Round() functions, they are documented in the MSDN.

    I can remember exactly what it was, but I am pretty sure there is a bug in the rounding function?

    I think Round will actually round it, whereas converting to an Integer through multiplying it by 100 will truncate it instead.

    my mistake, should be

    cstr(int(45.888888 *100+0.5)/100)
    Use
