    PROJECT DESCRIPTION
    This project demonstrates how you could set up the RadNumericTextBox to work with variable decimal digits count and not use the default control behavior to round the value if the decimal digit count is exceeded i.e. if you have set NumberFormat.DecimalDigits to 2 and enter 2.225, the value would remain 2.225 and would not be rounded as 2.23. The attached implementation works for AutoPostBack RadNumericTextBox as well as for client-side one.

    Basically the idea is to replace the onblur DOM event handler of the textbox and determine the necessary decimal digits count based on the current input value and change the appropriate property of the control on-the-fly (then execute the regular onblur handler so no functionality is lost). Note that you cannot use the public ClientEvents.OnBlur event of the numeric textbox as it is fired too late (after the value is already rounded):

    ASPX
    <script type="text/javascript"
    // The provided solution works for AutoPostBack as well as for client-side NumericTextBox 
    // 
    // Note: you cannot use the regular OnBlur client-side event of the numeric textbox 
    // as it is fired too late (after the value is already rounded) 
    // basically the idea is to check whether the entered number contains more decimal digits than the number format expects 
    // and that would be rounded. If that is the case we increase the NumberFormat.DecimalDigits count on-the-fly. 
    window.onload = function() 
        var numericTextBox = <%= RadNumericTextBox2.ClientID %> 
        var oldTextBoxBlurHandler = numericTextBox.TextBoxBlurHandler; 
        numericTextBox.TextBoxBlurHandler = function(e) 
        { 
            var currentValue = numericTextBox.GetTextBoxValue(); 
            var decimalPartStart = currentValue.indexOf(numericTextBox.NumberFormat.DecimalSeparator); 
             
            if (decimalPartStart != -1) 
            { 
                var decimalPart = currentValue.substring(decimalPartStart + 1); 
                decimalPartdecimalPart = decimalPart.replace(/0+$/, ""); 
                 
                var decimalDigits = parseInt(decimalPart.length, 10); 
                if (decimalDigits >= defaultDecimalDigits) 
                { 
                    numericTextBox.NumberFormat.DecimalDigits = decimalDigits
                } 
                else 
                { 
                    numericTextBox.NumberFormat.DecimalDigits = defaultDecimalDigits
                }    
            } 
            else 
            { 
                numericTextBox.NumberFormat.DecimalDigits = defaultDecimalDigits
            } 
             
            oldTextBoxBlurHandler.call(this, e); 
        } 
    </script> 
     
    <radi:RadNumericTextBox ID="RadNumericTextBox2" runat="server" Type="Percent" AutoPostBack="true" 
        OnTextChanged="RadNumericTextBox2_TextChanged"
    </radi:RadNumericTextBox> 


    We need to apply the equivalent logic on the server as well so that after the postback the NumberFormat.DecimalDigits count is not reset to the default value (this is needed for AutoPostBack NumericTextBox only):
    C#
    #region Auxiliary Properties 
    private static int DefaultDecimalDigits 
        get 
        { 
            return Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.PercentDecimalDigits; 
        } 
     
    private int DecimalDigits 
        get 
        { 
            object o = this.ViewState["DecimalDigits"]; 
            if (o != null
            { 
                return (int)o; 
            } 
     
            return RadNumericTextBox2.Culture.NumberFormat.PercentDecimalDigits; 
        } 
        set 
        { 
            this.ViewState["DecimalDigits"] = value; 
        } 
    #endregion 
     
    protected void RadNumericTextBox2_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        // we need to apply the equivalent logic on the server as well  
        // so that after the postback the NumberFormat.DecimalDigits count is not reset to the default value 
        int decimalPartStart = RadNumericTextBox2.Text.IndexOf(RadNumericTextBox2.Culture.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator); 
        if (decimalPartStart != -1) 
        { 
            string decimalPart = RadNumericTextBox2.Text.Substring(decimalPartStart + 1).TrimEnd('0'); 
            int decimalPartLength = decimalPart.Length; 
     
            if (decimalPartLength >= DefaultDecimalDigits) 
            { 
                DecimalDigits = decimalPartLength; 
            } 
            else 
            { 
                DecimalDigits = DefaultDecimalDigits; 
            } 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            DecimalDigits = DefaultDecimalDigits; 
        } 
     
        Response.Write(RadNumericTextBox2.Text);

        Page.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(String.Format("<script type='text/javascript'>var defaultDecimalDigits = {0}</script>", DefaultDecimalDigits))); 

    VB.NET
    Private Shared ReadOnly Property DefaultDecimalDigits() As Integer

    Hello,

    Attached is a more generic version of the original project that achieves the desired functionality for multiple numeric textbox instances on the page.

    Is it possible to do something similar when using a RadInputManager?  For example, my page is using a RadInputManager with a FormView as the target control.  In the form view, there is a large number of textboxes.  Without having to change all of my asp.TextBox in the FormView to RadNumericTextBox, is there a way to allow variable decimal digits?

    Hello,

    Basically, such a behavior is also possible, with the difference that the nested controls will be standard textboxes, rather than numeric inputs. Nevertheless, since the same events are raised for textboxes as well, you can migrate the logic to this scenario as well.
