### Description

Gets or sets a value specifying whether text at the current input position is interpreted as a number which means that the period character (.) is defined as decimal separator and the comma character (,) is defined as thousands separator. This texttype can be used only in table cells. If text is selected, the property specifies this attribute for the whole selected text.

### Syntax

```csharp
public bool? NumberTextType { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property NumberTextType As Boolean?
```

### Examples

The following example changes the formatting applied to text entered at the end of a document by using `InputFormat.NumberTextType`.

```csharp
textControl.Text = "Project summary";
textControl.InputPosition = new InputPosition(textControl.Text.Length);
InputFormat inputFormat = textControl.InputFormat;

inputFormat.NumberTextType = true;
if (inputFormat.NumberTextType != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Input Format: Number Text Type is available.");
}
```

```vbnet
textControl.Text = "Project summary"
textControl.InputPosition = New InputPosition(textControl.Text.Length)
Dim inputFormat As InputFormat = textControl.InputFormat

inputFormat.NumberTextType = True
If inputFormat.NumberTextType IsNot Nothing Then
    Console.WriteLine("Input Format: Number Text Type is available.")
End If
```

### Remarks

The property returns null when the text selection contains multiple table cells with mixed setting.
