[Solved] Data format in Edit mode

[Christopher Borys]

My DataForamtString is {0:#,##0;(#,##0);0} and my data value is (Decimal)0.  In a view mode, it is displayed as "0" as I want but in edit mode (in place) it turns into "0.0000".  Why? How can I control this format without explicit loading the control item?



Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

One suggestion will be accessing the control in code behind and setting the decimal digits value there.

aspx:

    <telerik:GridNumericColumn UniqueName="Number"
        HeaderText="Number" DataField="Number" MaxLength="8" DataType="System.Double">
    </telerik:GridNumericColumn>

cs:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditableItem editItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            RadNumericTextBox textbox = (RadNumericTextBox)editItem["Number"].Controls[0];
            textbox.NumberFormat.AllowRounding = true;
            textbox.NumberFormat.DecimalDigits = 0;
        }
    }

1. My format already defines a number with no digits after decimal point. 
2. The CS code is something that I wanted to avoid.  Besides, it bumbs with exception:
    Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox' to type 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadNumericTextBox'.
