Hi

I have a RadNumbericTextBox in a grid item template, which binds to the data item correctly.

My Question:
How do I set it to display 4 decimal digits but in such a way that:

1) it ALWAYS shows 4 decimal digits 
    so if my value is 5.50 it must show 5.5000

2) it does NOT round off the value
    so for 5.501599 it shows 5.5015

<telerik:RadNumericTextBox ID="radNumForexComp" runat="server" Culture="English (South Africa)" 
    DbValue='<%# Databinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Forex Comp") %>' InvalidStyleDuration="100" 
    LabelCssClass="radLabelCss_Web20" Skin="Telerik" Width="80px" style="TEXT-ALIGN: right" Font-Size="8pt">  
    <NumberFormat AllowRounding="False" DecimalDigits="4"/>  
    <FocusedStyle BorderColor="Red" BorderStyle="Double" /> 
    <HoveredStyle BorderColor="Red" BorderStyle="Double" /> 
</telerik:RadNumericTextBox>

Hi

I ended up tweaking the DataBind event handler of the RadGrid
and formatted my RadNumericTextBox manually as follows:

If (radNumForexComp.Value.HasValue) Then 
    Dim parts() As String = radNumForexComp.Value.ToString().Split(".")  
    If (parts.Length > 1) Then 
        If (parts(1).Length > 4) Then 
            radNumForexComp.Value = Double.Parse(parts(0) & "." & parts(1).Substring(0, 4))  
        End If 
    End If 
    radNumForexComp.NumberFormat.DecimalDigits = 4  
End If 


This worked :)

No, i must have been dreaming it is still not working !?!?!?

When I have a value like 5.1200
it shows up as 5.12

I want it to show the 4 decimal digits including the trailing zeros is this not possible?

These are my settings on the RadNumericInputBox .............

<

NumberFormat AllowRounding="false" DecimalDigits="4" DecimalSeparator="." GroupSizes="3" GroupSeparator="," NegativePattern="-n" PositivePattern="n"/>

Hi Ian Coetzer,

Please review the following code library which elaborates on how to set variable decimal digits for RadNumericTextBox. Test it on your side and verify if this helps.

Hi

Can you please forward me some example of how to implement this where the RadNumericTextBox is within a RadGrid column?

I have looked at the generic example but cannot figure out how/where to place the javascript, server side code when I have a RadGrid within an asp.net panel and have AjaxManager linked to those.

Thanks. if I could only get the initial load (via server side code) to show 4 decimal digits regardless of the value then the problem will be solved.

How can I do this?

Thank you.

Hi Ian,

I also tested this code library but it actually does not work corectly in my scenario.
I have similar problem like yours and appropriate solution is to use the NumberFormat  "KeepNotRoundedValue" property for controlling this behaviour.

I hope this is helpful.

Mishel.

Hi

I'm still battling with this, I even tried to use the DbValue property to set the value like "0.1500" and see if that maintains the four decimals but it did not work consistently. do you have any other solution / ideas to how one can display 4 decimals even though the last four are zeros?

Bye

Hello Ian Coetzer,


I assume you just use an older version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Please, give the latest version (Q3 2008 ) a try and let us know if you need further help.

Hi

Still no luck, so I tried out the following code:
But it did not work, it would now show 5 decimal digits!

                        Dim values() As String = .DbValue.ToString().Split(".")  
                        If (values.Length > 1) Then 
                            .DbValue = values(0) & "." & values(1).PadRight(4, "0") & "1" 
                        End If 


for example 5.05 would be shown as 5.05001 (5 decimal digits!?!?)
How is this possible? I'm setting the DecimalDigits property to 4!

 

    Protected Sub RadGrid1_PreRender(ByVal sender As ObjectByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.PreRender  
        Dim radNumericTextboxes As New Collection()  
 
        radNumericTextboxes.Add("radNumForexComp")  
        radNumericTextboxes.Add("radNumForexRaw")  
        radNumericTextboxes.Add("radNumPGM")  
 
        For Each item As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItem In RadGrid1.Items  
            For Each ctlName As String In radNumericTextboxes  
                If (Not item.FindControl(ctlName) Is NothingThen 
                    With DirectCast(item.FindControl(ctlName), Telerik.Web.UI.RadNumericTextBox)  
                        .NumberFormat.DecimalDigits = 4  
                        .NumberFormat.AllowRounding = False 
 
                        '  
                        'ensure that there are always 4 visible decimal digits.  
                        '  
                        '1) the code did not work, now 5 decimal digits are shown  
                        '2) when saving all values are saved (overwritten) in database not only thee changed ones  
                        '  
 
                        Dim values() As String = .DbValue.ToString().Split(".")  
                        If (values.Length > 1) Then 
                            .DbValue = values(0) & "." & values(1).PadRight(4, "0") & "1" 
                        End If 
 
                        .Culture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-us")  
                    End With 
                End If 
            Next 
        Next 
    End Sub 

I'm not seeming to get any resolution to this issue

Hi, ok I'll try because I'm starting to really get tired of this issue.

1) I have a RadGrid
2) within the RadGrid I have an item template for one of thee columns containing:

<telerik:RadNumericTextBox ID="radNumForexRaw" runat="server" Culture="English (South Africa)" 
    DBvalue='<%# Databinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Forex Raw") %>' InvalidStyleDuration="100" Type="Number" 
    LabelCssClass="radLabelCss_Web20" Skin="Telerik" Width="80px" style="TEXT-ALIGN: right" Font-Size="8pt">    
    <NumberFormat AllowRounding="false" DecimalDigits="4" />                                                        
    <FocusedStyle BorderColor="Red" BorderStyle="Double" /> 
    <HoveredStyle BorderColor="Red" BorderStyle="Double" /> 
</telerik:RadNumericTextBox> 

3) When the page loads it binds the telerik rad grid to a DataTable
4) The data table contains a field called "Forex Raw" which contains a String value from the database
5) This 'string' value can be either a double value like 15.05 OR it can contain nothing, in which case nothing is displayed in the textbox not even a zero is displayed - this is correct as per user requirements
6) When the ItemDataBound event on the rad grid fires I do the following ...
Dim radNumForexComp As Telerik.Web.UI.RadNumericTextBox = e.Item.FindControl("radNumForexRaw")  
 
radNumForexRaw.BackColor = e.Item.BackColor  
 
            If (Not radNumForexRaw.DbValue Is NothingThen 
                radNumForexRaw.Type = Telerik.Web.UI.NumericType.Number  
                radNumForexRaw.NumberFormat.DecimalDigits = 4  
                radNumForexRaw.NumberFormat.AllowRounding = False 
                radNumForexRaw.Value = radNumForexComp.DbValue  
            End If 

7) Also during the Radgrid PreRender event I have the following code ...

    Protected Sub RadGrid1_PreRender(ByVal sender As ObjectByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.PreRender  
        Dim radNumericTextboxes As New Collection()  
        Dim script As String = String.Empty  
 
        
        radNumericTextboxes.Add("radNumForexRaw")  
         
 
        For Each item As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItem In RadGrid1.Items  
            For Each ctlName As String In radNumericTextboxes  
                If (Not item.FindControl(ctlName) Is NothingThen 
                    With DirectCast(item.FindControl(ctlName), Telerik.Web.UI.RadNumericTextBox)  
                        .NumberFormat.DecimalDigits = 4  
                        .NumberFormat.AllowRounding = False 
 
                        If (Not .DbValue Is NothingThen 
                            .Type = Telerik.Web.UI.NumericType.Number  
                            .Value = .DbValue  
                          
                        End If 
                    End With 
                End If 
            Next 
        Next 
    End Sub 

8) Result : the value in the textbox still shows 15.05 instead of the desired 15.0500

Hello Ian Coetzer,


In order to show 4 decimal digits, you have to set AllowRounding="false" and KeepNotRoundedValue="true"
Please find attached a sample web application that demonstrates the needed approach.


You can review the following help article:

Hi,
Thank you Telerik, I managed to get this figured out, but you know what the most important problem was that I was making use of a rather old version of thee Telerik.Web.UI.dll !!!!!!

I upgraded this Monday to 2008.2.826.20 and it is working, primarily because of the new property called: KeepNotRoundedValue.

I know this is an old forum but I'm having a very simlar problem.  I need my textbox to ALWAYS display 8 decimal digits, which it does on focus but it cuts off trailing zeros on blur.  Here is the markup for my textbox:
<telerik:RadNumericTextBox ID="TextBox1"
runat="server"
OnTextChanged="TextBox1_TextChanged"
NumberFormat-AllowRounding="false"
NumberFormat-DecimalDigits="8"
NumberFormat-KeepNotRoundedValue="true"
NumberFormat-KeepTrailingZerosOnFocus="true"
AutoPostBack="true"></telerik:RadNumericTextBox>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,

Showing the trailing zeros on blur is possible(correct) only with AllowRounding=true.

This design limitation of the RadNumericTextBox caused by the JavaScript itself.
For an example lets have number 1000000.11

(1000000.11).ToString() //will return "1000000.11"
(1000000.11).toPrecision(30) //will returns "1000000.10999999998603016138077"

You probably known that ToString rounds the number. So when rounding is enabled, the control can use .toString(), and then add zeroes to the end
So in your case 1000000.11 will be displayed as 1000000.11000000 (with the 6 added zeroes at the end)
However if rounding is not enabled, the same number will be trimmed from its full precision to
"1000000.10999999" , and I can bet that your clients would not expect to get such number when they type 1000000.11.

The code above is just to illustrate the problem, in the real code the things are more complex, but the principle remains the same. In the world of float the number never appears as you would expect unless you round it.

Slightly off topic: In JavaScript when you execute
(0.1 * 3).toString()
(0.1 * 3).toString() you will get "0.30000000000000004", and I still hope that they will implement the Decimal type some day.

Here is how I solved this problem in my program:

<telerik:RadNumericTextBox >
    <ClientEvents OnValueChanging="PreventRounding" />
    <NumberFormat AllowRounding="True" DecimalDigits="4"/>
</telerik:RadNumericTextBox>
function PreventRounding(sender, eventArgs) {
    var newVal = eventArgs.get_newValue();
    var nf = sender.get_numberFormat();
    var decimals = nf.DecimalDigits;
 
    eventArgs.set_newValue(truncateDecimals(newVal, decimals));
}
 
function truncateDecimals (num, digits) {
    var numS = num.toString();
    var decPos = numS.indexOf('.');
    var result = numS.substr(0, 1 + decPos + digits);
     
    if (decPos == -1) { //for no decimal point entered, no need to truncate
        return num;
    }
 
    if (isNaN(result)) { //for numbers between 0 and 1.
        result = 0;
    }
 
    return parseFloat(result);
}

Basically, setting AllowRounding to true shows trailing zeros, and I truncate any changed value by capturing the change via the OnValueChanging event.

This may have a performance impact if you're doing this a lot, but it's the only way I've found to achieve the desired result.

Hi Adam,

Good approach if it fits your requirements, but keep in mind that it will not work for very small numbers like 0.000000123 regardless of the the DecimalDigits used.
