Title:
Negative amounts in red with parens
I need a control that displays negative dollar amounts in red and with parenthesis instead of a minus sign. I will use it for data entry as well as inside grid controls - the latter for display only, not data entry.
I've been able to use an assign method on the Value property to change the forecolor if the value is negative. (It got a little tricky with using the control in a grid, but I've gotten it to work.) What I'm having trouble with is removing the negative sign and using parenthesis instead. I haven't found any format code or input mask that will do this. Any ideas?
