using jQuery.telerik.cultureInfo Clientside to format numbers?

[Jesse]

is it possible to use jQuery.telerik.cultureInfo Clientside to format numbers?

my example;
in controller I set the CurrentThread.CurrentCulture to 'fr-FR'
then set Globalization(true) on the ScriptRegistrar

then I add a numerictextbox with a client side change event which updates a div to display the value that was entered;

@Html.Telerik(
    ).NumericTextBox(
    ).Name("Hours"
    ).ClientEvents(events =>
        events.OnChange("onChangeHours")
    )

and the javascript

function onChangeHours(e) {
    $('total-hours-div').text(e.newValue);
}

really I will have multiple numerictextboxes and the div will be displaying the sum of all values

everything works perfectly - values in the numerictextbox display in fr-FR format 7,77
but the clientside object e.newValue will contain the en-US value 7.77 - this is good because I can easily add the value to other numbers, etc...

but when I set the display of the div I want to apply the same formatting that the numbertextbox is using

Does telerik expose any clientside helper methods that I can use in conjunction with the jQuery.telerik.cultureInfo object to get my formatting displayed in the users culture?

Thanks in advance

Hello Jesse,

You can use format client method to format parsedValue(in your case e.newValue) with current culture. The following code snippet shows how to do this:

function onChangeHours(e) {
    var textBox = $('#NumericTextBox').data('tTextBox');
    $('total-hours-div').text(textBox.format(e.newValue));
}
