Robert,

I think Jim Booth put a numeric textbox class up in the libraries here, it might have some of the features you are looking for.

Because normally you do not want to store the , in the data field itself. one easy way of dealing with this is to make the mask a "display only" thing, ie clear it when the textbox gets focus and restore it on lost focus. You can easily create this as a class and use it in the places where you want this functionality.

*GotFocus()
this.cSaveInputMask = this.InputMask
this.InputMask = ""

*LostFocus()
this.InputMask = this.cSaveInputMask

>I like for numbers displayed in a text box to have the 1000's separated by a comma, i.e, 10,000 or 102,000. I can make this happen by setting the Input Mask to "999,999,999." However, the input mask is also active when keying the data. This is confusing for the user because as the numbers are keyed, they show up from left to right, thus, 1000 looks like "100,0" until you hit the enter key when it changes to "1,000"
