There's no problem using dTextBox with decimal values. It works. Either
assign it a DataField where the field is a decimal, or do textbox.Value
= Decimal("45.5").
You can also assign dates, datetimes, boolean, int, and float to a raw
dTextBox. As Ed says, dTextBox works out the conversions when necessary
between the underlying Value and the string representation shown in the
textbox.
