Need new numeric input control

    This control is very weak for doing numeric data entry. All I needed was a simple numeic "spinner" which allows the user to select -100..100

    It was so complicated and time-consuming that eventually I just gave up and had one of my developers code it up in ASP.Net and Javascript.

    Telerik should create a seperate control for numerics as there is for date input. It should be able to function as a spinner, with little up/down arrows. It should be optionally editable, and understand things like negative numbers, etc.

     This would make it far easier to use.

    Hi Steve,

    The control you describe is currently in development, and will be ready for our Q4 release.

    So do I understand this correctly that it is a masktextbox control specifically for numeric entry?

    Yes. It is possible to get the existing masked control to do numeric entry--sort of--but it is quite confusing to configure.

    A control which could do masked numeric entry and also act as a "spinner", and which would be simple to configure is the only major piece I've been missing in the suite so far.

    It seems like Telerik is on top of this in any case.

    Hello Jeremy,

    Yes, you are correct. We do plan on developing such control. To be more precise - a set of controls. At present, we also evaluate the possibility of providing currency and percentage variations.

    Sincerely yours,

    So are you guys planning a control similar to the Infragistics WebDataInput?

    Hi Jeremy,

    Yes, WebDataInput is one of the competition products we are looking at.

    Having currency and other numeric input would be really great, so here is another vote.

    Thanks Miha,

    As you may have already noticed from the various forum posts, we are thinking of extending the functionality of r.a.d.input control. We intend to extend our data input controls and provide a set of task-oriented data input controls in addition to the RadMaskedBox control. We do have plans to release this new version of the control with Q1 2007 release. Meanwhile, we hope that RadMaskedBox will be applicable in your scenario.

    Hi,
    I am using Q3 trial version. I have not yet been able to configure right alignment in rad input to enter numeric data. Is it possible with any of the versions of RAD Input to right align numeric data??.
    Please help.

    Regards,
    Siddhesh

    Hello Siddhesh,

    Your situation is very common indeed. In your case you can use the following properties:

    <radI:RadMaskedTextBox  
        ID="RadMaskedTextBox1" 
        runat="server" 
        DisplayFormatPosition="Right" 
        DisplayMask="###" 
        DisplayPromptChar=" " 
        Mask="###" 
        PromptChar=" " 
        Style="position: static; text-align: right">  
    </radI:RadMaskedTextBox> 


    Best wishes,
    Paul

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for your prompt reply. but I am still not getting the desired output. I want my cursor to remain at the right end of Input and as I go on entering numeric data, new digit should appear in right and already entered digits should move to left. Hope you will understand what i am trying to explain. It would be great if i could get this functionality in RadInput. I am not sure if the current version has this functionality. If not then you can definitely add it as a feature request along with Spinner as discussed in this current forum.
    I personally feel that the RadInput  is not as user friendly as Telerik's other controls are. So hope to see some new features in your next release.

    Thanks,
    Siddhesh

    Hi Siddhesh,

    This request is currently not possible to achieve out of the box with the input controls. We have it logged in our TODO list and will consider it for implementation in v.2.0.

    Thank you for the involvement.

    Kind regards,
    Steve
