Input keyboard localization

[Anton]

Hello, I try to use RadNumericBox with different culture settings. For example, I use "ru-RU" culture (Number separator is ","):

var culture = new CultureInfo("ru-RU");
Windows.Globalization.ApplicationLanguages.PrimaryLanguageOverride = culture.Name;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = culture;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = culture;

 I set primitives:CultureService.CultureName="ru-RU" at the control, but I still see "." separator on the keyboard and I can't input this separator. Could you explain me where I made a mistake?

 

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us.

When you change the CultureService.CultureName property, indeed you change the culture of the control and the separator becomes comma instead of dot. The control uses a Number keyboard by default which does not include comma. However, you can change the keyboard as per your needs through the InputScope property and choose a keyboard which includes comma.

I hope this helps.

I don't understand which InputScope could be used to ensure that keyboard depends on current language?

Hello,

I believe the InputScrope does not depend on the current culture. If you want to ensure all characters are available, you can use InputScope.Default.

Hello,

I've found a strange behavior in RadNumericBox. I set up OS language as Russian and added two keyboard languages: English and Russian. After that I couldn't input any number separator (",", "."). Could you explain me this behavior?

Hi Anton,

Please, provide a sample app(to ensure we are on the same page) so I can test the scenario.
