At the moment, the selection behavior of the NumericTextBox can vary depending on the Format - the Format is what is shown when the input does not have focus, and the Decimals control the actual number the user will see when they focus. Of both differ (for example, the Format has more decimal places, or some other information like a unit of measurement), the input value changes on focus, which removes the selection (highglight).

I would like the numeric textbox to always select all its content when it gets focused (either with the Tab key, or with a click).

Note on general input behavior - using Tab to focus in a field usually defaults to all the contents being selected, while a click results in a cursor without selection.

I am getting the following Exception when I:

• Navigate to a page that has a component that uses NumericTextBox.
• Hit refresh (F5)
• Wait for about 60 seconds while leaving the page idle

Hi,

I have found a bug with the TelerikNumericTextBox in that it doesn't function correctly with nullable types (at least it doesn't with Nullable<int>). I have confirmed this is the case for both 2.28 and 2.29 versions of Kendo for Blazor.

Description of the issue:

If "TelerikNumericTextBox" is "@bind-Value" to a nullable int, the control exhibits some unusual behaviour. If you manually type 0 into the control, it is accepted and the value updates the view-model property. However, if you use either the down-arrow button or arrow keys to select 0 (on a fresh load so there is no existing value selected/set), it does not set/update the view-model property. However, it does work correctly if you select another value first (such as 1) and then select 0.

Unfortunately, this is confusing the end-users of my application and I believe it is a bug (I haven't noticed this when using the Kendo for Angular or Kendo for JQuery).

In my application, I need users to be able to set the value of 0 but we do not want to set an initial value for the NumericTextBox to be 0 as this could lead our customers on; the application in question is requiring the end-user to manually select the number rather than allowing them to just leave it as default. Therefore, the view-model property I am binding to has been put as "int?" so that the default value is null and validation will require the user to select a valid value if they just try and press save without making any changes. Please note, for our use case, the number 0 is a valid option!

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Use the following razor HTML

The new value is: @TheValue

<TelerikNumericTextBox Format="D" Max="10" Min="0" Step="1" @bind-Value="@TheValue"></TelerikNumericTextBox>

@code {
    public int? TheValue { get; set; }
}

Click into the control and either press "down" on the keyboard arrow keys or press the "down" icon next to the control, so the value is set to be 0. The number 0 will not be set/persisted to the view-model property even though the control shows a 0 value.

If you have multiple controls on the page, following the above steps will mean that as soon as you click into another control, 0 is deleted (I believe because the VM prop has not been set), this does not happen if you type 0 into the control.

HOWEVER

If you continue to use the same Razor code above and any of the following workflows, it will set the controls view-model property correctly:

• Type 0 into the control - value is set correctly and property on the view-model is updated
• Select "up" on the keyboard (so the value is 1) and then press down (so the value is 0) - 0 is set correctly and property on the view-model is updated
• Select "up" on the numeric textbox's up arrow button (so the value 1) and then press "down" on the down arrow button (so the new value is 0) - 0 is set correctly and property on the view-model is updated

Additional notes:

• I have noticed this only seems to apply to the nullable version of the int type, if the prop is just an int, the control works fine but is automatically defaulted to 0 (which is not appropriate for my use case)
• It seems that as soon as the control/view model property has an initial value, the control behaves normally and the issue no longer happens anymore (both with keyboard navigation and the control's up/down buttons).
• I have not tested with any other types/primitives, just on INT so far
• I have confirmed this happens if you have the control in an "<EditForm/>" or outside of an EditForm. 

I have attached a sample project where I have replicated the issue, it is just a simple NET5 WASM Blazor project (generated from the default template) and I have just added the latest Kendo for Blazor. Nothing else has been done except for demoing on the "index.razor" both binding approaches I have tried/been able to replicate this issue on.

I hope the above makes sense, let me know if you need any further clarification.

When running as Spanish (es) the control correctly shows commas as the decimal separator but see below.  The control seems pretty broken when running under Spanish.

1) When I focus into the text box above that started off bound to a value I am unable to change the value by typing more numbers.  I should be able to put my cursor in front of "33,300" and type "4" it should result in "433,300".  Instead, nothing happens when I type "4".  If I delete ",300" from the end the control then allows numeric entry.

2) If I delete the full number and type in a new one I am unable to enter "." or ",".  Those keys are being ignored.

Can NumericTextBox Format Be Updatedat run time?  In other words, if numerictextbox is being used for dimensions and the user changes the preferred dimensional unit from "centimeters" to "inches" can the Format be changed from "0.## cm" to "0.## in" at runtime?

Same applies if I want to dynamically change the Decimals or Step values. Currently it looks like a dynamic change in the NumericTextBox parameters is not possible.

ADMIN EDIT

Here is a workaround that re-initializes the component:

<TelerikButton OnClick="@ChangeFormat">Change format</TelerikButton>
<br />
The value is: @theValue
<br />
@if (isVisible) {
<TelerikNumericTextBox Format="@theFormat" Max="5m" Min="-5m" Step="0.33m" @bind-Value="@theValue"></TelerikNumericTextBox>
}
@code {
    private decimal theValue { get; set; } = 1.234m;
    string theFormat { get; set; } = "0.## cm";

    bool isVisible { get; set; } = true;
    async Task ChangeFormat()
    {
        //workaround
        isVisible = false;
        await Task.Delay(30);
        await InvokeAsync(StateHasChanged);

        // change the format
        theFormat = "0.## in";

        //workaround
        isVisible = true;
        //await InvokeAsync(StateHasChanged);
    }
}

---

In versions of Telerik.UI.for.Blazor v2 all the way up to v2.30.0, the NumericTextBox, when provided a Min and Max would display an indication that a number is out-of-range by marking the input as invalid while the focus remained within the input.

After upgrading to v3, the invalid indication no longer happens.

In the attached example project, you'll find that using v3 NumericTextBox with Min=0 and Max=5, does not indicate invalidity if you enter "9" for instance. The input just snaps to 5 when the input loses focus.

If you instead use v2.30.0, it will show the border of the input in red when entering "9".

===ADMIN EDIT===

In the meantime, a possible workaround is to set the "DebounceDelay" parameter to "0".

================

I use 2 different numeric Text Boxes (one for the cost of a product and another for the tax):

The expected behavior that I am trying to get is:

    - If I type a cost and leave the field (OnBlur event) then it calculates automatically 5% and set the value for the tax

    - However, I want also to allow users to go to the Tax textbox and type a different value (zero for instance)

If I just keep typing different costs the Tax is always calculated and bound correctly as expected:

However, if I go directly to the Tax textbox and type any value there, then this value is always used as a cached value, even if type a new cost and recalculated it:

Eg. Let's say that I typed 10.00 in the tax:

Then if I go to the cost and type 25.00 we would expect that the tax bound variable is 1.25. This is correct while the control still has the focus:

But as soon as I leave the field then the value is reverted back to 10.00:

This is the code that I have:

<div class="form-group col-4">
      <label for="prodCost">Cost</label>
      <TelerikNumericTextBox Id="prodCost" Arrows="false" T="decimal" Decimals="2" Format="C" Min="0.00m" @bind-Value="@product.Cost" OnBlur="BlurCost" ></TelerikNumericTextBox>                                                       
</div>     
                        
<div class="form-group col-4">
      <label for="prodTax">Tax</label>
      <TelerikNumericTextBox  Id="prodTax" Arrows="false" T="decimal" Decimals="2" Format="C" Min="0.00m" @bind-Value="@product.Tax"></TelerikNumericTextBox>                                                                                   
</div>

private void BlurCost()
 {   
     var newTax = product.Cost * (decimal)0.05;
     product.Tax = newTax;               
 }

Create a variable like below and bind the numeric text box to it:

decimal? myNumber = 9;

decimal? MyNumber

{

   get { return this.myNumber; }

   set { this.myNumber = value; }

}

Put a breakpoint on the setter, run the application, and clear out the text box.  The breakpoint will never be hit.  If you enter a numeric value the breakpoint will be hit.  The problem appears to only be with clearing the text box.

The NumericTextBox does not allow pasting from an Excel cell. Pasting from the plain text textbox at the top of the Excel interface works.

The problem is caused by a new line character, which Excel adds to the clipboard value when copying the cell directly. A possible workaround is:

1. Subscribe to the paste event of the NumericTextBox <input>
2. Check for "invalid" pasted content that you need
3. Set the <input> value manually with JavaScript
4. Notify the component's instance in the .NET runtime

The important thing to keep in mind is: the JavaScript workaround should work only for pasted content, which the NumericTextBox does not allow. Otherwise the app will edit the value one extra time. In the example below, the script checks specifically for a new line at the end of the pasted value.

@inject IJSRuntime js

<TelerikNumericTextBox @bind-Value="@NumValue" Width="200px" Class="fix-paste" />

@* suppress-error allows script tags in Razor components. Move this script to a proper place in production environment. *@
<script suppress-error="BL9992">function fixPaste() {
    var inputs = document.querySelectorAll(".fix-paste .k-input-inner");
    inputs.forEach(element => {
        element.addEventListener("paste", function(e) {
            // get pasted content
            debugger;
            var pastedString = e.clipboardData.getData("text/plain");
            // check for specific content, which DOES NOT pass the built-in validation
            // adjust this conditional statement, according to the application scenario
            if (pastedString.indexOf("\n") == pastedString.length - 1) {
                // assign the pasted content manually
                e.target.value = pastedString.trim();
                // tell the component's .NET instance to change the value
                e.target.dispatchEvent(new Event("input", { bubbles: true, cancelable: true }));
            }
        });
    });
}</script>

@code {
    double NumValue { get; set; }

    protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender)
    {
        if (firstRender)
        {
            await js.InvokeVoidAsync("fixPaste");
        }
        await base.OnAfterRenderAsync(firstRender);
    }
}
