invalidValueMessage

Specifies the text of the message displayed if the specified value is not a number.

Type:

Default Value: 'Value must be a number'

isValid

Specifies whether the editor's value is valid.

Type:

Default Value: true

In Knockout apps, you may need to inform a user about an error that occurred during the validation of a view model field. For this purpose, set the editor's isValid option to the isValid value of the dxValidator that validates this field. To show an error message, set the editor's validationError option to the dxValidator's validationError value.

JavaScript

var editorValue = ko.observable("").extend({
    dxValidator: {
        validationRules: [{
            type: "required",
            message: "Specify this value"
        }]
    }
});
var viewModel = {
    editorOptions: {
        value: editorValue,
        isValid: editorValue.dxValidator.isValid,
        validationError: editorValue.dxValidator.validationError
    }
};

The editor's isValid and validationError options should also be specified when using a custom validation engine. In this instance, the validation result will be displayed for the editor by the means of the DevExtreme Validation UI.

max

The maximum value accepted by the number box.

Type:

Default Value: undefined

min

The minimum value accepted by the number box.

Type:

Default Value: undefined

mode

Specifies the value to be passed to the type attribute of the underlying <input> element.

Type:

Default Value: 'text', 'number' (mobile devices)

Accepted Values: 'number' | 'text' | 'tel'

NOTE

If you set the format option, the mode for mobile devices is changed to "tel"; "number" is not available.

Use the NumberBoxMode enum to specify this option when the widget is used as an ASP.NET MVC Control. This enum accepts the following values: Text, Number, and Tel.

name

The value to be assigned to the name attribute of the underlying HTML element.

Type:

Default Value: ''

Specify this option if the widget lies within an HTML form that will be submitted.

If you configure the widget as an ASP.NET MVC Control, use this option to bind the widget to a model property. If this model property contains Data Annotation validation attributes, you get the client-side validation enabled by default.
