Hi Viktor,

I'm using NetAdvantage 9.2 ASP.NET AJAX CLR3x (Infragistics35.Web.v9.2)   WebNumericEditor  control.

which doesn't provide NumberFormat property. and I want to disable comma.

can you help me out on this how to set NumberFormat property.

here is my code.

<%@ Register Assembly="Infragistics35.Web.v9.2, Version=9.2.20092.1003, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7dd5c3163f2cd0cb"
    Namespace="Infragistics.Web.UI.EditorControls" TagPrefix="ig" %>

 <ig:WebNumericEditor ID="WebNumericEditor1" MaxLength="10" DataMode="Ulong" MinDecimalPlaces="0" MaxDecimalPlaces="0" runat="server" />

Thanks,

Rahul

Here is a reusable method I wrote to disable the commas and decimal points. (sorry it's not C#)

    ''' <summary>
    ''' Pass is a WebNumericEditor control and this method will prevent it from displaying commas and decimal points.
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <param name="editor"></param>
    ''' <remarks></remarks>
    Private Sub WebNumericEditorRemoveCommas(ByVal editor As Infragistics.Web.UI.EditorControls.WebNumericEditor)
        Dim ci As System.Globalization.CultureInfo = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US")
        ci.NumberFormat.NumberGroupSizes = {0}
        ci.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator = ","
        ci.NumberFormat.NumberGroupSeparator = "."
        editor.Culture = ci
    End Sub

My problem is I want comma, but they don't display. I'm using a WebDataGrid with a numeric editor provider:

Public

Sub WdgEditorInteger(ByVal wdg As WebDataGrid, ByVal FieldKey As String)

Dim NumericEditor As New NumericEditorProvider

NumericEditor.ID =

"NumericEditor"

wdg.EditorProviders.Add(NumericEditor)

Dim columnSetting As New EditingColumnSetting

columnSetting.ColumnKey = FieldKey

NumericEditor.GetEditor.ID =

"NumericEditor"

NumericEditor.EditorControl.StyleSetName =

"Default"

columnSetting.EditorID = NumericEditor.ID

wdg.Behaviors.EditingCore.Behaviors.CellEditing.ColumnSettings.Add(columnSetting)

With NumericEditor.EditorControl

.ValueInt =

True

'No comma's show in the grid with or without the following lines:

Dim ci As Globalization.CultureInfo = Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture

NumericEditor.EditorControl.Culture =

New Globalization.CultureInfo(ci.Name)

NumericEditor.EditorControl.Culture.NumberFormat.NumberGroupSeparator =

","

End With

wdg.Rows(0).Items.FindItemByKey(FieldKey).Column.Header.CssClass =

"wdgHeaderRightAlign"

End Sub

Hi thp,

The thousand/group separators are used by WebNumericEditor only in not-focus state. While cell-editing WebNumericEditor always has focus, therefore, possible custom value for that property does not change visible format of grid-editor.

If you refer to numeric strings, which appear in grid columns, then format of those strings is defined by default javascript formatting or by ScriptManager. I think, that if application will enable EnableScriptGlobalization property of ScriptManager, then strings will appear differently for different cultures.

It doesn't have a comma separator either in or out of focus. Should the WebNumericEditor display commas or do I have to set the format property of the column? My goal is to be able to autogenerate the columns using a sqldatasource and do the formatting in codebehind but haven't found code samples to do this and not sure if what I'm trying to do is even possible. With ultragrids, I've defined the columns in the HTML markup but this is very time consuming and I'm hoping to reduce the amount of effort. 

I think the bottom line is can you format a column that is autogenerated from sqldatasource? The only thing I can find is  

wdg.Rows(0).Items.FindItemByKey(FieldName).Column.FormatFieldMethod but can't find a shred of documentation on how to use it or even if I'm on the right track.

Thanks for your help,

thp

Hi thp.

Once you get to the Column object, you need to typecast it as BoundDataField, then access the DataFormatString method.  Set this to something like {0:n} to display numbers.  I believe this should take form the page's format/culture.
