Numeric TextBox cursor position

[joshua odell]

I'm using the RadNumericUpDown in an application that requires several numeric inputs, about 20 on a single screen.

I like the UpDown ability (being able to click an arrow up and down), however I also need the user to be able to just enter in some numbers.  Well I've run into an issue, and I'm wondring if it's expected behavior or a bug.

if I highlight the text in the RadNumericUpDown box, and begin to type, lets say I type "200".  The first number gets intered ("2") but after that the cursor moves the the very far left, and the next number ("0") is entered to the left.  So what actually appears in the box is "002".  It appears to me as though you have to think in reverse to enter a number.  this seems counter intuitive.  Is this normal behavior or am i just missing a setting.  Here's the code I'm using

        <Style x:Key="Numbers" TargetType="{x:Type Tel:RadNumericUpDown}">
            <Setter Property="Width" Value="100"/>
            <Setter Property="Margin" Value="10"/>
            <Setter Property="Minimum" Value="0"/>
            <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="12"/>
        </Style>

                    <Tel:RadNumericUpDown Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource Numbers}"
                                      ValueFormat="Numeric" IsEditable="True"
                                      Minimum="0" Maximum="100000"
                                      Value="{Binding Path=MaxPumpOutRate.DisplayValue}"></Tel:RadNumericUpDown>

in this example "MaxPumpOutRate" is my model object, and it has a property of type double named "DisplayValue"

Thanks for any help

Hi !
I think i am having the same issue here . But instead of the cursor moving after introducing the first number, it moves after introducing three numbers .. Is this normal , or should I check some property in order to the cursor mantain its position ?

Thanks,
Ivan Frias

Hello Ivan,

Unfortunately there is no property for configuring the cursor position. We are working closely with our UX team to introduce the best behavior in our future release. Sorry for the inconvenience and feel free to share any recommendations and suggestions in future.

Hi Dante,

RadNumericUpDown control doesn't have build property which you can use to change the position of the cursor. An approach which you can use to achieve such behavior is to get the TextBox from the RadNumericUpDown control using the ChildrenOfType<T>() extension. Then you can set the CaretIndex text property. Check the following code snippet.

var txtBox = numericUpDownControl.ChildrenOfType<TextBox>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "textbox");
txtBox.CaretIndex = 4;
