Product

RadNumericTextBox for ASP.NET AJAX

Description

You can specify the number type on the server via the Type property. On the client this can be done via the set_numberFormat() method.

Solution

The sample below shows how to change the RadNumericBox type on the client via the set_numberFormat method and what arguments it accepts. Click on the checkbox to change the type from number, to currency and then to percent.

        <script type="text/javascript">
            function changeType(checkBox) {
                var numBox = $find("<%= RadNumericTextBox1.ClientID %>");
                var value = numBox.get_value();
                if (checkBox.checked) {
                    numBox.set_numberFormat({
                        AllowRounding: true,
                        CultureNativeDecimalSeparator: ".",
                        DecimalDigits: 2,
                        DecimalSeparator: ".",
                        GroupSeparator: ",",
                        GroupSizes: 3,
                        KeepNotRoundedValue: false,
                        KeepTrailingZerosOnFocus: false,
                        NegativePattern: "($n)",
                        NegativeSign: "-",
                        NumericPlaceHolder: "n",
                        PositivePattern: "$n"
                    })
                    numBox.clear();
                    numBox.set_value(value);
                }
                else {
                    numBox.set_numberFormat({
                        AllowRounding: true,
                        CultureNativeDecimalSeparator: ".",
                        DecimalDigits: 2,
                        DecimalSeparator: ".",
                        GroupSeparator: ",",
                        GroupSizes: 3,
                        KeepNotRoundedValue: false,
                        KeepTrailingZerosOnFocus: false,
                        NegativePattern: "-n %",
                        NegativeSign: "-",
                        NumericPlaceHolder: "n",
                        PositivePattern: "n %"
                    });
                    numBox.clear();
                    numBox.set_value(value);
                }
            }
        </script>
