Hello Pavel,

i´ve tried to set the DecimalSeparator explicit to comma as you suggested with same result as before.

So there is still the situation that when entering numbers, the RadNumericTextBox only takes the comma on alphanumeric side of the keyboard, the comma found on the Keyboard under the numeric block doesnt work for this..

i have done some more testing:
- in windows text editor both commas, when switching to hex mode, shows the same hex value.
- the probem doesnt exist in IE7. It exist in Firefox and Safari. For Opera the NumericTextbox takes all characters entered, also alphanumeric chars..
- in Firefox and Safari, when entering alphanumeric chars the box blinks and shows an exclamation mark, when entering the comma in numeric block this doesnt happen, it seems it goes into the box but gets immediately deleted..

Hope this helps you finding more about this issue..

Thanks,
Achim

Dimi,

Maybe it's a slightly different issue then. If I use the demo page for RadNumericTextBox, and set the culture in the droplist to German, then I cannot type the period character. Only a comma is accepted. If I change the culture to English (United States), then I can type a period.

Here in Belgium we have a mixture of AZERTY and QWERTY keyboards, but they all have a period on the numeric keypad. The users complain that they can't type the period character when entering numbers.

So what I'd like to do is allow the numeric keypad to be used even if the culture is French or Dutch, so I have to change the period to a comma on-the-fly. Can this be done? Maybe a small JavaScript?

Thanks, Steve

Hello Steve,

As I said, the active keyboard layout must match the textbox' culture. If you press the numeric keypad's decimal separator while using the en-US keyboard layout and French (Belgium) textbox, the keypress will be rejected, because the decimal separator of the en-US keyboard is a period, while the French textbox expects a comma.

Here is a simplified example, which shows how to handle invalid numeric keypad keypresses, but you should be aware that this is more or less a hack:

    
            <%@ Page Language="C#" %> 
        
            <%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %> 
        
            <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

            <title>RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX</title> 
        
            </head> 
        
            <body> 
        
            <form id="form1" runat="server"> 
        
            <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" /> 
        
            <telerik:RadNumericTextBox ID="RadNumericTextBox1" runat="server" Culture="French (Belgium)" onkeydown="keydown(event)" /> 
        
            <script type="text/javascript"> 
        
            function keydown(e) 
        
            { 
        
                if (e.keyCode == 110) 
        
                { 
        
                    $find("RadNumericTextBox1")._textBoxElement.value = $find("RadNumericTextBox1")._textBoxElement.value.replace(",", "") + ","; 
        
                    return false; 
        
                } 
        
            } 
        
            </script> 
        
            </form> 
        
            </body> 
        
            </html>
