Sorry, this is a big mistake. text-align is merely align, not direction. I just had to vote 1.

OP: "like textbox in calculator" He has not indicated he was looking for language formatting which is not "like textbox in calculator"

Before posting code, to assure accuracy I will test the code prior to posting, this method works in my C#, the text behaved like "like textbox in calculator"

Perhaps kumar from vijayawada could elaborate on this, but I'm not sure this warranted 1 voting everyone who genuinely attempted to help. These were not intended to be mean spirited answers.

I already know -- will fix it. I've been mislead by the answer by Manfred but his is of course my fault.
Thank you for correcting me.

Thank you for having the guts to admit a mistake, and for the vote correction.

Kind Regards

Solution 8

Usually use English.
That goes from the right side.

If you use other non-european languages, they are from the left.

This may also help
.textbox_ClassName {text-align:end;}
or
.textbox_ClassName {text-align:right;}
or
.textbox_ClassName {text-align-last:end;}
or
.textbox_ClassName{text-align-last:right;}
or
.textbox_ClassName {direction:RTL;}

There is no reason at all for you to resurrect SIX year old already answered questions.

Solution 10

I think this may help you

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" CssClass="ltor">

and css:

.ltor {direction:rtl;}

Solution 5

No guarantees, but you might be able to use CSS:

Creat a class:

.rightText
{
    text-align:right;
}

and then set the CSSClass attribute to that class in the ASPX file.

<asp:TextBox CSSClass="rightText">

As with Coding C#'s answer: 5+
CSS is the way to go.

look at the question again. It says "like a calculator". That means the text is still in the same order it was typed, only "like a calculator", it's right-aligned.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 7-Jun-11 18:04pm

Agree. I've been mislead by the answer of Manfred on RTL, but this is my fault of course. I'll remove my answer and re-vote everywhere.

#realJSOP 7-Jun-11 18:00pm

I just tested it (couldn't test it at work). It works just "like a calculator". When you click the textbox, the caret is positioned at the right side of the control, and as you type, the characters move to the left - "like a calculator". I think you should change your vote to a 5 because my solution does, in fact, do what the OP described.

Solution 6

In C#

Select the TextBox -->
Goto Properties window -->
Select TextAlign --> Set the value to Right.

In ASP.NET

<br />
    <style><br />
        .alignToRight<br />
        {<br />
            text-align:right;<br />
        }<br />
    </style><br />
<br />

Solution 1

Use the direction attribute dir and set it to "RTL". See here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/twe16yc2(v=VS.100).aspx[^].

Maybe you are more into this though: style="text-align: right;". Also see here: http://forums.asp.net/t/900887.aspx/1[^].

Cheers!

good answer my 5

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 7-Jun-11 14:58pm

Correct - partially. My 4. Your comments on CSS are wrong! Other answers are incorrect as text-align is not it. This is merely the alignment, not direction.
Please see my answer for correct CSS.
Using RTL is incorrect. John brought to my attention -- it's alignment. I removed my answer.
