The following code example changes the ForeColor of a TextBox displaying currency data. The example converts the text to a decimal number and changes the ForeColor to Color.Red if the number is negative and to Color.Black if the number is positive. This example requires that you have a Form that contains a TextBox.
private void currencyTextBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { // Convert the text to a Double and determine if it is a negative number. if(double.Parse(currencyTextBox.Text) < 0) { // If the number is negative, display it in Red. currencyTextBox.ForeColor = Color.Red; } else { // If the number is not negative, display it in Black. currencyTextBox.ForeColor = Color.Black; } } catch { // If there is an error, display the text using the system colors. currencyTextBox.ForeColor = SystemColors.ControlText; } }
