Cancel Event when characters exceed maxlength or maxvalue

[Larry]

Is there a way to cancel the keydown/keypress/keyup events to prevent non-digit characters from getting typed when characters in a TelerikTextBox? 

Also, I need a MaxLength set to 9 which the TelerikTextBox has but the TelerikNumericTextBox does not have.

I want to prevent non-digit characters, and I also want to disallow typing more than a specified number of characters.  The TelerikNumericTextBox only turns its border control red when exceeding a specified max value.  I want to prevent typing more than 'x' number of digits.

Hi Larry,

The described scenario calls for a MaskedTextBox - it has built-in configuration settings for value length and allowed characters.

On a side note, the NumericTextBox has a Max parameter.

Does the MaskedTextBox allow a variable number of characters or does it force a set number of characters?  I need max length to be 9 digits but I also need it to allow fewer digits

Yes, it does. Check the MaskedTextBox Mask and Prompt documentation.
