Can I turn off globalization for one control?

[Dave Hayward]

I am using the Telerik MVC controls throughout my site and globalization is enabled and functioning properly. The site provides a CurrencyTextBox for the user to enter a value, and the customer wants to force all users to enter their amounts in dollars.

The currency symbol and decimal symbol can be controlled, but in many cultured the currency symbol is placed on the right side of the edit control. This is an issue for the customer who wants it to be displayed on the left, which is consistent with cultures that use dollars.

Is there any way to disable globalization (or force one specific culture) on just this one control?

Alternatively is there a way to control the position of the currency symbol?

Hello Dave,

The globalization cannot be disabled or enabled for a single control but you can use the PositivePatternIndex configuration method to show the currency symbol on the left e.g.

Html.Telerik().CurrencyTextBox().Name("currency")
        .CurrencySymbol("$")
        .PositivePatternIndex(0)

Kind regards,
Daniel
