How to set the currency symbol on EditMask property - £ C2 (£ 2,234.23)

created 11 years ago

Hi Team,

I have a TextEdit control on Vertical grid view with EditMask as C2 where the user can enter the currency with two decimal values as suffix.

By default it is showing the "Pound" symbol probably because of the default settings but if some one uses my software where the Culture is set to English USA ($ symbol) then that would be the crap because the currency value varies across the world.

My question is, how should I show the specific currency symbol?

if I set the EditMask property to "#,##.##" then it will allow only 3digits, but the currency C2 will satisfies my requrement.

Please let me know how to overwrite the default currency symbol to the specific (£) symbol.

Thanks.

Hello Hari,
As far as I understand, you would like to show the £ currency symbol instead of the symbol in the current culture. The simplest way to accomplish this is to set the following mask:

C#
this.textEdit1.Properties.Mask.EditMask = @"£###,###,###,###,###,###,###,###,##0.00";

It matches the longest number that you can input in TextEdit if you use the "C2" edit mask.
Also, you can manually change the culture to "en-GB" in the main method of your project. But in this case, the "en-GB" culture will be used for every user of your project.
Please let me know if this is helpful.
