Having text inside NumericUpDown control, after the number

Is it possible in WinForms to show a text inside a NumericUpDown control? For example I want to show the value in my numericupdown cont开发者_运维百科rol is micro ampers so it should be like "1 uA".

Thanks.

There's no such functionality built into the standard control. However, it's fairly easy added by creating a custom control that inherits from the NumericUpDown class and overrides the UpdateEditText method to format the number accordingly.

For example, you might have the following class definition:

public class NumericUpDownEx : NumericUpDown
{
    public NumericUpDownEx()
    {
    }

    protected override void UpdateEditText()
    {
        // Append the units to the end of the numeric value
        this.Text = this.Value + " uA";
    }
}

Or, for a more complete implementation, see this sample project: NumericUpDown with unit measure

Using CodeGray's answer, Fabio's comment about it failing ValidateEditText, and the NumericUpDown documentation I've come up with a simple NumericUpDownWithUnit component. You can copy/paste as is:

using System;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class NumericUpDownWithUnit : NumericUpDown
{
    #region| Fields |

    private string unit = null;
    private bool unitFirst = true;

    #endregion

    #region| Properties |

    public string Unit
    {
        get => unit;
        set
        {
            unit = value;

            UpdateEditText();
        }
    }

    public bool UnitFirst
    {
        get => unitFirst;
        set
        {
            unitFirst = value;

            UpdateEditText();
        }
    }

    #endregion

        if (Unit != null && Unit != string.Empty)
        {
            if (UnitFirst)

Here's what I used for showing at least 2 digits for a hexadecimal NumericUpDown that are prefixed by 0x. It puts text in the control and avoids using "debounce" by using the .Net provided field ChangingText

    class HexNumericUpDown2Digits : NumericUpDown
    {
        protected override void UpdateEditText()
        {
            if (Hexadecimal)
            {
                ChangingText = true;
                Text = $"0x{(int)Value:X2}";
            }
            else
            {
                base.UpdateEditText();
            }
        }
    }

I recently stumbled across this issue and found Cody Gray's awesome answer. I used it to my advantage but recently resonated with one of the comments on his answer talking about how the text will fail validation if the suffix is still there. I've created a probably not-so-professional quick fix for this.

Basically the this.Text field is read for numbers.

Once the numbers are found they are put into this.Text, but a debounce or whatever you want to call it is needed to make sure we don't create a stack overflow.

Once the new text with only number is in, the normal ParseEditText(); and UpdateEditText(); are called to complete the process.

This isn't the most resource friendly or efficient solution, but most modern computers today should be perfectly fine with that.

Also you'll notice I've created a property for changing the suffix just for easier use in editor.

public class NumericUpDownUnit : System.Windows.Forms.NumericUpDown
    {

        public string Suffix{ get; set; }

        private bool Debounce = false;

        public NumericUpDownUnit()
        {

        }

        protected override void ValidateEditText()
        {
            if (!Debounce) //I had to use a debouncer because any time you update the 'this.Text' field it calls this method.
            {
                Debounce = true; //Make sure we don't create a stack overflow.

                string tempText = this.Text; //Get the text that was put into the box.
                string numbers = ""; //For holding the numbers we find.

                foreach (char item in tempText) //Implement whatever check wizardry you like here using 'tempText' string.
                {
                    if (Char.IsDigit(item))
                    {
                        numbers += item;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        break;
                    }
                }

                decimal actualNum = Decimal.Parse(numbers, System.Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign);
                if (actualNum > this.Maximum) //Make sure our number is within min/max
                    this.Value = this.Maximum;
                else if (actualNum < this.Minimum)
                    this.Value = this.Minimum;
                else
                    this.Value = actualNum; 

                ParseEditText(); //Carry on with the normal checks.
                UpdateEditText();

                Debounce = false;
            }

        }

        protected override void UpdateEditText()
        {
            // Append the units to the end of the numeric value
            this.Text = this.Value + Suffix;
        }
    }

Please feel free to better my answer or correct me if something is wrong, I'm a self-taught programmer still learning.

your action start after change on you Object, well you have to Double Click on ValueChanged from properties part. After this Action In Code You Can See This Code:

private void numericUpDownMounth_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   // Body
}

In //Body side you can write your Code and Your Controller. As Others person said.
