Passwordbox inputscope suggestion

[Curtis]

I could not find the property "inputscope" on the radpasswordbox like on the radtextbox. 
The official passwordbox does not have the property too, but maybe it would be a nice addition to add it to the radpasswordbox so that the control can mimic the pincode inputscope keyboard layout you see for example at the lock screen. We would like to have that option rather then creating a custom new passwordbox control that can define the inputscope.

Hello Curtis,

We have considered such a property but due to platform limitation we haven't succeeded. As you have noticed the native PasswordBox doesn't have InputScope that we can use. Also we are not able to mimic
such a property since the platform doesn't provide a way for us to show a custom keyboard manually. 

Please, let me know should you have any other questions or suggestions.

Thanks for your quick reply.

We have found a workaround that works for us at the moment and maybe also for others. So we share the code:

public class NumericPasswordBox : RadPasswordBox
    {

        private TextBox _passwordTextBox;

        public override void OnApplyTemplate()
        {
            base.OnApplyTemplate();

            _passwordTextBox = GetTemplatePart<TextBox>("PART_PasswordTextBox");

            var inputScope = new InputScope();
            inputScope.Names.Add(new InputScopeName
            {
                NameValue = InputScopeNameValue.Number
            });
            _passwordTextBox.InputScope = inputScope;
        }

        protected override void OnGotFocus(RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnGotFocus(e);
            _passwordTextBox.Focus();
        }


    }
