NumericUpdown: make user unable to enter value bigger then 99

shockwavevok

hi all,
I have a NumericUpDown control. The minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 99. I want to prevent the user from entering a value bigger then 100. Currently if you enter 100, after validating the control return to the maximum value. I want to prevent the user from entering 100. The use may enter 98, 99, ... Anyone have an idea on how to do that? What event to use ? I've already searched the net and didn't find anything.
Or anyone have any idea to make the user only capable of entering two digits?
Thank you very much
Michael

I don't understand the problem of using the NumericUpDown.Maximum Property for this. What happens or does not happen when you set the Maximum to 99?

Hi, shockwavevok. I'm new around here, so I don't pretend to be an expert. I found this solution to your problem; it's not an elegant solution nor am I sure about it's performance efficiency, but here goes.

You could do something like: in the NumericUpDown events, double click the KeyUp event. In it, you could write a code to the effect you want. For example:

private void numericUpDown1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (numericUpDown1.Value > 99)
numericUpDown1.Value = 99;
}

Let me know if it works for you :)
