This section discusses the display settings of the PercentTextBox control.

The PercentTextBox provides a list of properties to set the display characteristics of the percentage.

The grouping size of the percent digits can be set using the Int32 Collection Editor which will be displayed on selecting the PercentGroupSizes property in the property grid.

this.percentTextBox1.PercentDecimalDigits = 3;
this.percentTextBox1.PercentDecimalSeparator = ".";
this.percentTextBox1.PercentGroupSeparator = ",";
this.percentTextBox1.PercentGroupSizes = new int[] {5};
this.percentTextBox1.PercentNegativePattern = 2;
this.percentTextBox1.NegativeSign = "-";
this.percentTextBox1.PercentPositivePattern = 2;
this.percentTextBox1.PercentSymbol = "%";
Me.percentTextBox1.PercentDecimalDigits = 3
Me.percentTextBox1.PercentDecimalSeparator = "."
Me.percentTextBox1.PercentGroupSeparator = ","
Me.percentTextBox1.PercentGroupSizes = New Integer() {5}
Me.percentTextBox1.PercentNegativePattern = 2
Me.percentTextBox1.NegativeSign = "-";
Me.percentTextBox1.PercentPositivePattern = 2
