Input fields ala Long, Double, Float etc.

Hi all,

How do I create a input field in XAML that only excepts input data in the
form of double, long etc? And show it in the following form.

1.000, 10.000 or 1 000, 10 000
0,50
and so on.

Do you have to create this behavior manually or are there control fields
that already work like this? I only seem to find the control 'TextBox'.

There is no masked edit control for WPF. You would need to validate input
using the KeyDown event to prevent bad characters from being put in. Then,
as far formatting, you could use string.Format with the correct numeric formatting
string.
