NumericTextBox

Usage Guidelines

The Telerik and Kendo UI NumericTextBox requires you to follow some basic principles when using the component.

Text Label

Usually, the NumericTextBox is accompanied by a text label which clarifies its meaning and provides context to the user. When integrated in complex components, for example, in the cells of a Grid, the NumericTextBox does not require a label. The label of the NumericTextBox can be set as part of the Telerik and Kendo UI Form component.

DoUse a text label to clarify the meaning of the NumericTextBox.

Don'tAvoid skipping the text label unless the NumericTextBox is part of a complex component having its context already set.

Hint

DoClarify the restrictions for the NumericTextBox input to help users meet its validation requirements.

Don'tAvoid leaving users at a loss as of why their input doesn't pass the validation requirements.

Placeholder

Apart from using a hint to indicate validation requirements, you can also use a placeholder to specify the format of the required user input.

DoUse a placeholder to specify the format of the required user input.
