Numeric Keyboard?

I have several instances in my application that I would prefer to use a numerical keyboard. Does one exist in WP7 and if so, how would I go about popping that one up for a text box instead of the normal one?

Solution

  • You should use InputScope for the textBox

    <TextBox Name="myTextBox" InputScope="Digits"/>

    Here is the full list of InputScopes that are expected to be supported, based on the current enum names for InputScopeNameValue:

    [NOTE] Even if you don't get the keyboard you want, you can still use it because it is highly possible to be supported in the future (final Mango probably)
