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!

 <Style x:Key="Digit2DecimalFormatStyle" TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:XamNumericEditor }">
<Setter Property="Format" Value ="9999.##" />
</Style >

Please, assist me on this.  I want the first 4 numerics optional with two decimal places always shown.  This is not working.  It shows 9999.17 when my value is 17.00.  So I want the result to be 17.00 in the field.  By the way, the example above just happens to be the last attempt I made.  I tried your suggestion as follows and ended up with:  {double:4172} as my value.

 <Style x:Key="Digit2DecimalFormatStyle" TargetType="{x:Type igEditors:XamNumericEditor }">
<Setter Property="Format" Value ="{}{double:4.2}"/>
</Style >

Thanks,

 

 

 

Sorry about that.  I'm a twit.  :)  Switching to Mask worked.

BTW:  I was looking at the Masks documentation which suggested:

9	Digit placeholder. Character must be numeric (0-9) but entry is not required

Obviously I need to pay more attention to the context of things.  Nonetheless, this is the solution I needed.  Greatly appreciated.

 

I came across this thread and I still can't figure out how to allow the XamNumericEditor in a XamDataGrid to allow a number more than 1,999,999,999.99... Here is what I tried with no success:

<Setter Property="Mask" Value="nnn,nnn,nnn,nnn,nnn.nn" />
OR
<Setter Property="Mask" Value="{}{double:15.2}" />

The 2 solution above creates a mask with the correct number of prompt char but it is still not allowing me to enter more than 10 integer digits.

Anybody has a solution that allow me to enter say 234,567,890,123,456.12 ? Thanks.

I am also looking for setting the Mask for XamNumericEditor to have more than 9 integer digits. Please let me know if anyone got the solution.

 

Thanks

I have the same problem. I need to allow up to 12 digits, not counting the decimals. According to your statement regarding Double, it should work, but it doesn't.

I am able to type more than 9 characters into the editor if I set the Mask accordingly, but when I press Enter or focus away from the control, the value is lost if it contains more than 9 digits. Anything up to 9 digits, and the value is preserved in the cell. I am trying XamNumericEditor, XamCurrencyEditor, XamMaskEditor, as well as different data types (double, Int64, currency, etc.)... It makes no difference.

Here is my test control, which is part of a XamDataGrid. Any help will be very appreciated:

<ig:Field Name="Dollars" >
<ig:Field.Settings>
<ig:FieldSettings AllowEdit="True" EditAsType="{x:Type sys:Double}">
<ig:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ig:XamCurrencyEditor}" >
<Setter Property="Mask" Value="{}{double:12.0}" />
<Setter Property="Format" Value="C0" />
</Style>
</ig:FieldSettings.EditorStyle>
</ig:FieldSettings>
</ig:Field.Settings>
</ig:Field>

Thanks for the reply and the sample project. I was able to run your project and get it to work, even in a XamDataGrid.

However when I am using the exact same approach in my project, the Mask does not work. I looked at the XamNumericEditor rendered by the datagrid using Snoop and compared it with your sample project and they are the exact same. I am really not sure what I am doing wrong here, I tried with different object model as well and different DataSource, same result... this is really weird. I can't send you the project as it is pretty big and it is our customer's project with copyright material.

I will post the solution if I even find it.
