Overview
The Currency Input Web Control collects numbers according to the format of the selected currency. Numbers are stored using a Variable of type Currency.
Control Properties
Placeholder Text
Displays the text in the input’s box before the user starts typing. By default, this text only shows if the No Immediate Prefix in Advanced Property is checked.
Advanced Control Properties
Numeral Thousands Group Style
Adjusts the style of how numbers are formatted with commas on the input. The default Value is 'thousand' where the value of 1000 will be displayed as 1,000. This setting has no effect on the raw Value stored.
Numeral Decimal Scale
Adjusts the level of precision of numbers that can be entered by the number of digits. If the value of 3 is entered, the number of digits that can be entered after the decimal point will be 3. For example, the value of 5.333 could be entered, but not 5.3333.
Numeral Integer Scale
Adjusts the scale of numbers that can be inputted by the number of digits. For example, if the value of 4 is set, the largest number possible will be 9999.
Prefix
Sets the Value that is displayed in the input box and is affixed before the number.
Currency Code
Displays a list of currency codes to choose from.This property gets bound to the Data Binding Value when the state of the control changes.
No Immediate Prefix
Disables the Prefix setting, if set, and shows Placeholder Text, if any.
Raw Value Trim Prefix
Trims the Value that was set in Prefix before the number. It only affects the raw Value stored, which is not displayed to the app user.
Right Icon
Allows the display of icons on the right of the input box. The default option “country”, shows the “US” Value.
AutoComplete
Determines whether the user's device is allowed to autocomplete the field. Guidance can be provided to the app user's browsing environment by using one of the predetermined autocomplete options.
Data Binding
Value
By default, this Data Binding property auto-generates a Variable of type Currency at the Web Page level to store the data from the input. Users can also edit the Data Binding property and create their own Variables.
Style and Theming
This component has Style Variants for the following states:
- Default - When first rendered without a state.
- Focused - When the Currency Input is focused.
- Disabled - When the Currency Input is disabled.
Most Web Controls have a common set of styling properties.
