1. You will need to validate the current length of the number in the
button click event. I'm assuming you have a single handler for all
keypad buttons.
2. Show us the code you use to append the value of a button press and
display the number in the textbox of the Calculator.
3. You might need to set the RightToLeft property of the Textbox to
True. Again, it's difficult to be sure without seeing (the relevant
part of) your code.
