XamNumericEditor format

Szymon posted over 16 years ago

Hi,
It seems that the XamNumericEditor's default options are to accept a value of the format: xxx,xxx,xxx.xx.

Issues:
1. I cannot have more than two decimal places.
2. I cannot have a value higher than 999 million.
How can I change these defaults?

Thanks,
-Szymon

Actually the default EditType for xamNumericEditor is double. The default mask for a double is just "{double}" which defaults to having 9 integer places and the number of fraction places being determined by the NumberDecimalDigits of the culture used. If you want to register a different mask for double you can use the XamMaskedEditor.RegisterDefaultMaskForType static method. The available tokens are listed on this page - http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WPF/2008.1/CLR3.X/html/xamEditors_Masks.html.

Ok, that's almost what I need.

Here's my dilema. The precision of 2 decimals is not right for the application that we are doing. If the user enters "2.34", I want to see 2.34 in the editor, if the user enters "2.34521234", that is what I'd like to see. Now, by default I can only enter two decimals. Fine, I have changed the mask to "{double:-15.10}". But not the problem is, that the formatting forces the number to display with ten decimals, so the user entering 2.34 becomes 2.3400000000. What I need is essentially the same formatting provided by Single.ToString().

Any ideas?

Thanks!
