#Define Numeric Editor Settings in XAML

Specify the DataFormView.DataObject property to define an object whose properties are to be edited in the DataFormView.

To show a numeric property editor in a DataFormView, add a DataFormNumericItem object to the DataFormView.Items collection.

Use the item’s FieldName property to specify the name of the property to be edited in the Data Form.

Note: The DataFormView.Items property is a content property. You can skip the <Items> tag in your markup.

#Use Attributes to Generate the Editor

You can apply the DataFormNumericEditorAttribute to the Data Object’s property whose value you want to edit in a numeric editor in the DataFormView.

Additionally, you can use the DataFormDisplayOptionsAttribute and DataFormItemPositionAttribute to configure display settings for the text editor:

using DevExpress.Maui.Core;
using DevExpress.Maui.DataForm;
using DevExpress.Maui.Editors;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;

namespace DataFormSample {
    public class OrderInfo : INotifyPropertyChanged {
        //...
        int count;
        [DataFormDisplayOptions(EditorWidth = "300", HelpText = "Specify the number of items.", 
            LabelText = "Count")]
        [DataFormItemPosition(RowOrder = 0)]
        [DataFormNumericEditor(ClearIconVisibility = IconVisibility.Always, ReturnType = ReturnType.Next,
            AllowLooping = false, AllowNullValue = true, IsUpDownIconVisible = true, 
            MinValue = 1, MaxValue = 100, StepValue = 1)]
        public int Count {
            get { return this.count; }
            set {
                if (value != this.count) {
                    this.count = value;
                    NotifyPropertyChanged();
                }
            }
        }
        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
        private void NotifyPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = "") {
            PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }
    public partial class MainPage : ContentPage {
        public MainPage() {
            InitializeComponent();
            dataForm.DataObject = new OrderInfo();
        }
    }
