How to show the number keyboard while editing GridNumericColumn in WPF DataGrid (SfDataGrid)?

1 min read

You can show the number keyboard for numeric columns by setting Input Scope property for SfNumericTextBox in WPF DataGrid (SfDataGrid). InputScope property provides a type of text input expected by that control.

You can achieve this by deriving a new class from GridCellNumericRenderer and override the OnCreateEditUIElement method. By setting InputScopeNameValue as Number for SfNumericTextBox in OnCreateEditUIElement method, which shows NumericKeyboard when touch keyboard in Numeric Columns.

C#

public class GridCellNumericRendererExt : GridCellNumericRenderer
{ 
     protected override Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Controls.Input.SfNumericTextBox OnCreateEditUIElement()
     {
         var element = base.OnCreateEditUIElement();
         InputScope scope = new InputScope();
         InputScopeName name = new InputScopeName();
         name.NameValue = InputScopeNameValue.Number;
         scope.Names.Add(name);
         element.InputScope = scope;
         return element;
     }
}
 
public MainPage()
{
     this.InitializeComponent();            
     this.grid.CellRenderers.Remove("Numeric");
     this.grid.CellRenderers.Add("Numeric", new GridCellNumericRendererExt());
}
