RadInputPrompt with InputScope

[Robert]

Hi, is it possible to set an InputScope for a the RadInputPrompt? I would like to be able to default it to Number. The prompt requests the user enter a pin number and display an alpha keyboard.

Hi Robert,

The InputScope property is part of the TextBox control, so you can use it in the text mode of RadInputPrompt with the following approach:

Style textBoxStyle = new Style(typeof(RadTextBox));
textBoxStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(RadTextBox.InputScopeProperty, "Number"));
string messageTitle = "Enter your PIN";
string message = "Please enter your PIN number:";
RadInputPrompt.Show(messageTitle, MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, message, InputMode.Text, textBoxStyle);

If you want to display the prompt in password mode, you will not be able to add an input scope.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi Todor, 

I tried your approach in combination with a password box but it threw an XAMLParseException. Is this an expected behaviour? 

Thanks!

Hello Sascha,

Yes, this is expected.

When you use RadInputPrompt for password input, you are using it with RadPasswordBox and not with RadTextBox. This is why if you try to apply a style that targets RadTextBox (as in the previous post) to RadPasswordBox, you get the exception. When you want to style the password box, you need to provide a style that target RadPasswordBox.

However, you won't find InputScope property in neither RadPasswordBox, nor in the native PasswordBox, so you can't have a password field and have the numeric keyboard on, because Windows Phone doesn't allow us to.

sorry for bringing this thread up again, i want to know using this inputscope, how can i also add RadTextBox.WatermarkProperty?

[Todor]

Hi Laurensius,

You can simply add another setter to the Setters collection of the text box style:

textBoxStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(RadTextBox.WatermarkProperty, "Enter text"));

Let me know if you need further assistance.
