Discussion

The [Editor-NumericKeyPad] control can be added to a UX Component to add a custom numeric keypad for entering numeric values.

This control must be placed inside an EditorSet container.

The editor, as shown below, displays a keypad that allows the user to enter numbers. When editing a value using the numeric keypad, the native keyboard on a mobile device is not used.

A configuration genie allows you to specify various settings for the keypad.
