  Hi.
  
  I want to use a RadMaskedTextBox to have my users force to use a valus in certain way. The input I am expecting is in the format <number>.<number>. Either side of the . has numerical value and there is no restriction on the length of the number, it can be as low as 1 and as high as 999,999,999.
  
  I tried using Mask="<1..999999999>.<1..999999999>" but this will show up as 000000001.000000001 in the textbox when the page loads. If users want to type in 44.44, they will have to skip the first seven 0s to enter the 44 on each side of the period.
  
  I also tried Mask="<#|##|###|####|#####|######|#######>.<#|##|###|####|#####|######|#######>" but this doesn't render properly as well; shows up as #______.#______ in the textbox.
  
  Is there any way to solve this problem? Or is my scenario best handled with RadTextBox and asp RegularExpressionValidator?
  
  Thanks.
  Gaurab

  Hello Baal,
  
  Judging by your explanation, I believe the RadNumericTextBox control will be suitable for your scenario. Please examine the following links and let me know whether this helps.

  Thanks Daniel.
  
  Looks like, from your last link, GroupSeparator and GroupSize properties in RadNumericTextBox could have solved my problem. However, I have already solved the problem using RadTextBox and RegularExpressionValidator so I guess I'm fine with it for now.
