Use an input mask for numeric input on Bootstrap Text box

created 7 years ago

I'm looking to assign the value of a Bootstrap text box on page load & while I do this, it doesn't format the number nicely. When I'm displaying double values in a column I use

ASPx
<PropertiesTextEdit DisplayFormatString="# ###,##0.00">  
</PropertiesTextEdit>

to format the number as a currency value. Now I'd like to do something similar with an input. I've tried using the following in the textbox markup on the aspx page:

ASPx
<dx:BootstrapTextBox ID="txt_Amount" runat="server">  
    <MaskSettings Mask="# ###,###.00" IncludeLiterals="None" ErrorText="Please input missing digits" />  
    <ValidationSettings CausesValidation="True" ValidationGroup="ValPaymentDetails">  
        <RequiredField ErrorText="A payment value is required" IsRequired="True" />  
    </ValidationSettings>  
</dx:BootstrapTextBox>

What this does is turn a value of "238579.4" to "2 835 794.__" is there a better way to do this? I need a currency format "# ###,###.##"

Thanks in advance

Hi Daniel,

Mask has a different behavior and should be implemented in a different way - see Mask for details. You need to use the BootstrapTextBox.DisplayFormatString property for this task.

Let me know if this helps.
