Numeric Textbox cuts off 0

[Maria]

Hello,

I am using numeric textbox for entering account number that can start from 000
The control cuts off leading zeros. Is there any way I can get the number a customer enters?

Thank you.

Hi Maria,

RadNumericTextBox is for numbers only. 0009321 is a formatted string. Please use RadMaskedTextBox if you want to preserve leading zeros. Here is an example:

Dear Dimo,

Thank you very much for quick response.
However, I don't know the lenght of the account number.
How would I set up the mask for it?

Thank you.

Hi Maria,

In this case you can use a RadTextBox and impose a numeric constraint. Please try the approach described here:

The only thing you need to change is the regular expression. It should be:

/^[0-9]$/

instead of

/^[a-zA-Z_]$/
