In what language?

In C# you can use Parse or TryParse static method of Double

In Windows programing, you can get the text from the textbox and later parse to see if there's a decimal dot inserted.

Thank for your replys. I'm programming in C++. The IDE is M. Visual Studio .NET 2008
Joelito, do you suggest me to parse all the text inside the textbox and check if each character is a digit or the decimal character ("." or "," - depending on my Windows configurations)? I could only accept one decimal character. There is no other solution? Thanks. Joao

you can use streamstream to convert the string to float and see the state and buffer of the stream after the operation

My IDE is Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and I'm programming in C++.

I have solved my problem, as you can see below:

Code:

using namespace System;

bool good_parsing = Double::TryParse(TextBox->Text, my_double_result_value);

Ow, in C++ .NET...lolz
I hate .NET, :P
I though you mean in pure Win32 API
