Hello,

i have a simple Textbox (classic control, no number input) named txt_akt_stunden_1.

I just want to substitute a , by a .

To test it i have a button that does the following "onselect":

Notify(Substitute(txt_akt_stunden_1.Value,",","."));
 
Anyway if there is 1,2 in the textbox
The substitute gives me 12 and not 1.2.
 
Also if i just notify about txt_akt_stunden_1.Value it already gives me 12.
It seems to treat it as number
But in the properties the value is 1,2

And to my knowledge Value(txt_akt_stunden_1.Value) should give the value?

And txt_akt_stunden_1.Value should give the text in Textbox?
 
How can i get the real text.

The reason i want to do this is that i want to save the value as the number 1.2 independent if the user uses 1,2 or 1.2 and browser settings

Any help is welcome

Hi @SLMR

If that is a Classic Control, you need .Text, not .Value
Notify( Substitute( txt_akt_stunden_1.Text, ",", "." ) );

Hi @@WarrenBelz,

thank for your quick response.

I forgot to mention:

It is a canvas App but it is a custom page in a model-driven app.

For some reasons the textboxes have other properties as in a "normal" canvas app.

So the property Text is not there. I can only use the property Value

OK @SLMR,

It is always good to provide that information as it will affect who may possibly respond. I do not use Model-Driven Apps, so cannot test anything other than to note that your code should work. You can try this, however that is the extent of what I can contribute
With( { _msg: Substitute( txt_akt_stunden_1.Value, ",", "." ) }, Notify( _msg, NotificationType.Information ) );
