Adding comma's to a text box...

[mike_atwell]

I have a program that allows you to select a closed polyline and returns with the area of that selected entity. The only problem I am having is that I need the returning area to have comma's inserted into the number.

Example:
Current: 1234.56
What I want: 1,234.56

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated

Hi Mike,
I think the Format function in VBScript should solve your problem. Please try the following syntax.

FormatedValue=Format(CurrentReturnValue,"#,###.00)

so using that Format(1234.56,"#,###.00") should return 1,234.56

Please check out the Visual Basic Reference inside AutoCAD ( NOT VBA reference) for more formating options. Hope that works out....

har!s.
