Default Formatting numbers in a text box


In a cell I might have 15 or 15.5.

In the text box that is NOT linked to the cell but gets it's value from
it in the activate function, I want it to display 15.00% or 15.50%.

I want the user to be able to change that number, and when they are
done, it to show to two decimals and the "%" sign.

Is there any direct formatting command, or am I going to "get" to go
through all kinds of gyrations of switching it to string, adding or
truncating charaters, displaying, checking for changes (if possible)
and reformatting for display?

Thank-you for all thoughts!
