Description

How to disable the RadNumericUpDown mouse wheel functionality.

Solution

You can disable the scroll wheel functionality of the RadNumericUpDown control globally by defining an attached behavior.

MouseWheelBehavior.cs

C#

	public class MouseWheelBehavior
	{
			public static bool GetIsEnabled(DependencyObject obj)
			{
					return (bool)obj.GetValue(IsEnabledProperty);
			}
	
			public static void SetIsEnabled(DependencyObject obj, bool value)
			{
					obj.SetValue(IsEnabledProperty, value);
			}
			
			public static readonly DependencyProperty IsEnabledProperty =
					DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("IsEnabled", typeof(bool), typeof(MouseWheelBehavior), new PropertyMetadata(true, OnIsEnabledChanged));
	
			private static void OnIsEnabledChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
			{
					if (!(bool)e.NewValue)
					{
							var upDown = d as RadNumericUpDown;
							upDown.AddHandler(RadNumericUpDown.PreviewMouseWheelEvent, new MouseWheelEventHandler((s, a) => { a.Handled = true; }), true);
					}
			}
	}

You can then set this behavior via an implicit style to all instances in your application.

App.xaml

XAML

	<Style TargetType="telerik:RadNumericUpDown">
			<Setter Property="local:MouseWheelBehavior.IsEnabled" Value="False" />
	</Style>
