Hey at Telerik

I would like to know how i can set the RadMaskedEditBox to accept only a decimal number.

I need the RadMaskedEditBox for coordinates and cannot limit the box to a specific number og digits before the seperator or after.

The closest i can get is by setting the MaskType of the RadMaskedEditBox to 'Numeric' and the Mask to 'n'.

As i see it 'n' and 'n2' gives the same result. isn't 'n' supposed to not limit the input.

Sincerly

Hello Jan,

Thank you for contacting us.

The "n" mask by default requires two zeroes after the place holder, so yes "n" and "n2" does the same thing. For your scenario, the simplest mask that you can use in order to limit the number of digits before and after the place holder is the Standard mask:

radMaskedEditBox1.MaskType = MaskType.Standard;
radMaskedEditBox1.Mask = "##.####";

The provided code limits to 2 digits before the place holder and 4 digits after it.

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, I will be glad to help.

Hello Stefan

What i need is not to limit the number of digits before or after the place holder.

Compare it to a RadNumericTextBox  that has holds the datatype decimal from the ASP.NET control collection.

Examples of values i must be able to support.
1.7632632
837.87
3346.98372
23.91237
99782.9821
1221.2312
etc.

Hi Jan,

Thank you for writing me back.

Currently, I am not able to provide you with a control that validates decimal number out of the box. However, this can be easily implemented with simple text box control. Please refer to the attached project, where you can observe such an implementation.

Alternatively, you can use RadSpinEditor control, which supports decimal numbers. The only limitation is that you have to predefine the DecimalPlaces and if the user does not fill in enough decimal places the rest is filled with zeroes.

Furthermore, we will consider improving the masks that RadMaskedEditBox provides, in order to achieve the desired functionality.

I hope that you find this information useful. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Best wishes,
Stefan
