Mass Userform Textbox formatting as number via AfterUpdate()

[patsfan1]

Hello,
I have a userform with a bunch textboxes. I would like to format most of them as numbers with no decimals. The group of textboxes I would like formatted in this manner are consecutively numbered. I have the below code, which works, however, it is extremely cumbersome given the number of textboxes.

I am searching for code to format this consecutive range of textboxes (422-481) as a number upon being updated. Have not been able to find anything that accomplishes this. Any help simplfying this would be greatly appreciated.

Private Sub TextBox422_AfterUpdate()      <wbr>  If Textbox422 <>  ""Then textbox422 = FormatNumber(Textbox422, 0)
Private Sub TextBox423_AfterUpdate()      <wbr>  If Textbox423 <>  ""Then textbox423 = FormatNumber(Textbox423, 0)
Private Sub TextBox424_AfterUpdate()      <wbr>  If Textbox424 <>  ""Then textbox424 = FormatNumber(Textbox424, 0)
Private Sub TextBox425_AfterUpdate()      <wbr>  If Textbox425 <>  ""Then textbox425 = FormatNumber(Textbox425, 0)
Private Sub TextBox426_AfterUpdate()      <wbr>  If Textbox426 <>  ""Then textbox426 = FormatNumber(Textbox426, 0)
Private Sub TextBox427_AfterUpdate()      <wbr>  If Textbox427 <>  ""Then textbox427 = FormatNumber(Textbox427, 0)
Private Sub TextBox428_AfterUpdate()      <wbr>  If Textbox428 <>  ""Then textbox428 = FormatNumber(Textbox428, 0).....

This cant be done. A textbox contains "STRING" values.

However, you can refer to the TEXT contained and convert it..

For example. If we take textbox423 and you type the number 423..

   textbox423.text = 423
   myVar = textbox423.text

in this case, myVar will be equal to "423" (Yes, the quotation marks are part of it because it is a string value)

BUT if you do this...

   textbox423.text = 423
   myVar = cINT(textbox423.text)

in this case, myVar will be equal to 423 (without quotation marks because it is now an integer value and not a string value. CINT converts your value to the "closest integer")


I believe this is your solution.


PS...go TB12!

You don't need to check if if the textbox is empty, you can just use

Private Sub TextBox422_AfterUpdate()
Textbox422 = FormatNumber(Textbox422, 0)
End Sub

Rather than creating a sub for each box, you could loop through the boxes and format them based on a command button.
