Show negative value as typed

[Scott Waye]

Hi I want to set up the RadMaskedNumericInput so that the negative sign appears when that key is pressed straight away and not delayed until the subsequent digit is entered, so if you type "-", "1", then the control displays first "-", then "-1".  Basically exactly as you would get in Notepad.  I have:

<UserControl x:Class="GridViewMaskedInput.MainPage"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:gridViewMaskedInput="clr-namespace:GridViewMaskedInput"
        xmlns:maskedInput="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.MaskedInput;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input"
        mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480">
    <StackPanel>

        <telerik:RadMaskedNumericInput  SelectionOnFocus="SelectAll" Width="100"
Value="{Binding Total, Mode=TwoWay}"
Mask="" TextMode="PlainText"
                                        FormatString="##.00"
                                        AutoFillZeros="False"
                                        maskedInput:MaskedInputExtensions.Maximum="99"
                                        maskedInput:MaskedInputExtensions.Minimum="-99"
/>

    </StackPanel>
</UserControl>

Note I want Mask="" as I find the behaviour with the Mask set as unusual, and placeholders annoying for just entering numbers.

Thanks,

Scott
