NumericUpdown: make user unable to enter value bigger then 99

Question

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 :)
