Entering numbers in masked textbox from right to left with decimal point

Here is the situation I need addressed:

I have a masked text box that has a mask of 00.0, I need to be able to enter values in this box with a range from 2 to 20. The issue is, that I need to enter the values from the right and transfer over the decimal point instead of entering from the right.

For example, at the moment I can type in 160 and it will give me the correct 16.0 value... However if I enter 80, I get 80. instead of 8.0. I do not want the users to have to enter leading zeros to get the value (080). Is there a way to enter text from the right and have it cross over the decimal point. This seems like it should be easy, but not having luck so far.

Try this code:

    private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
    var _value = textBox1.Text.Trim();

    if ((textBox1.Text.Length <= 2)) {
        _value = textBox1.Text.PadLeft(3, "0", c);
    }

    var _changed = _value.Replace(c, "");

    string _split1 = _changed.Substring(0, (_changed.Length - 2));
    string _split2 = _changed.Substring(_split1.Length, 2);
    _value = Convert.ToDecimal(string.Format("{0}.{1}", _split1, _split2)).ToString();
    textBox1.Text = _value;
}

I don't think there is a native way to do that. Your best bet would be to implement a event handler on the TextChanged (or else) action of your textbox and do some modification here.
