float in 2 decimal point

[hoon]

i have a problem displaying a control's member variable of type float in two
decimal place.
do anyone of u know how?
tq

you can use the setprecision function if you're using iostreams. If
you're using printf(), you need to use an appropriate string format:
%2.2f.

actually i'm using visual c++. and the problem here is, this is a control's
member variable where the value assign to it will get display automatically
when u call UpdateData. so i want to display the variable of type float in
two decimal point when UpdateData is call. do u know how?
tq.

I would use a string data member instead of a float, and format the
string as desired with a decimal point. Does that help?

thanks Danny,
but i really need the variable to be in float as this variable will be used
to compare to another varaible of type float, type checking..etc.
is there anyway to set the properties of this control's data member to display
only 2 decimal point?
tq

If I new a bit more about the control you were using I might be able to help.
All I know at the moment is you are using a class with a parent of type CWind
or a parent inherited from CWind.

What type of control is it? Is it possible to define a mask for the control?

Not sure but can't you use SetWindowText to set the text in what ever format
you like. The window text is what's stored in the structure pointed to by
m_hWnd (i.e. it calls the win32 API function SendMessage(m_hWnd, WM_SETTEXT,
0, "Window Text"), this should not effect the data member of your control
just the text displayed by the control.

Try the windows forum, you'll get a better help in there, I'm a Unix programmer.
