Hi,

I am just evaluating the controls for use in our application - one requirement I have is to be able to display input type boxes with attached units - the behaviour I want is basically identical to that of the Percent input box but I need control over the symbol displayed on a text box by text box basis.

So for example I instead of:

3.25 %

in a text box, I would want to display things like:

3.25 kg      

or

3.25 m/s

How difficult would it be for me to modify one of the input controls to allow this kind of behaviour?

Thanks,

Jason

Hello Jason ,

It is possible to set the number format of RadNumericTextBox as shown below:
<telerik:RadNumericTextBox ID="RadNumericTextBox1" runat="server"
    <NumberFormat PositivePattern="n kg" NegativePattern="-n kg" /> 
</telerik:RadNumericTextBox> 

Let us know whether this helps.

That's excellent - it works perfectly.  Thank you very much. 

An additional point is it possible to allow the input of values with exponents - e.g. 1e3?

Hello Jason,

Currently our RadNumericTextBox control doesn't support such functionality.

Let us know if you need additional assistance.
