  For CurrencyBox, is there any way to restrict the number of decimal places a user can enter during input?
  
  For e.g. I have a Unit Price field that I only want to store up to 2 decimal places in the database.
  When using CurrencyBox, it allowed my users to enter any number of decimal places then round the value to 2 decimal places.
  What I want is to just prevent the user to enter more than 2 decimal places. 
  
  Is this possible with CurrencyBox?

  Hello Bt,

   
  The Numeric/Currency/Percentage/IntegerTextBox does not restrict the user input while they types. Nevertheless, as you mentioned, once the user blur the input the component will round the number.
  One possible solution is to wire the keydown event of the input element end prevent the input if the typed number has more than 2 decimal digits. Other option is to set the maxlength of the input element.
