How to set mask for entering both positive and negative number in a masked edit box

[Anupama Roy]

Hi Shankar,


MaskedEditBox has the MinValue and MaxValue properties that can be enforced when the UsageMode of the MaskedEditBox is set to Numeric.Currently the MinValue is set to be 0 internally and it does not support negative values with current architecture.However,we can extend the functionality to support negative values too.

For positive numbers you,can set the Mask property to #.You can find more information on Masks from the below given link.

I have logged a feature request in order to support negative numbers.And you can track the progress of implementation through the below given link.

I tried NumericTextBox to input both positive and negative number. But the control won't let me input a decimal. I have set all applicable properties. Is this a bug??

Hi Shankar,

I am afraid,the details given above is for windows control.The control NumericTextBox comes under Web Tools and I have requested the respective product engineer to update you.

Best Regards,

Hi Shankar,

Sorry for the delay in get back to you.

If usage mode property of Masked Edit Text Box is set to 'Numeric',the control will allow only numbers.By defining MaxValue and MinValue property, we can set the requirred mask which is illustrated in the sample.
