  Hello,
  
  Any suggestion for masking for email address welcome.
  Seems a regexp masking capability is missing ? Or something is already inside Silverlight ?
  
  
  Thanks for help.
  CS

  Hi Christian Surieux,

   Currently we do not have any build in support for e-mail mask.
  However  we  have plans to add RegEx functionality  for the next official Q1 release, so once we add regex RadMaskedTextBox will have some significant improvements.  This means that using regular expressions you will be able to fully customize the mask.

  Hi,
  
  Has this been implemented in 2010 Q2 SP1 Silverlight control suite? I am not able to find the relevant regex options for a mask of an email address for example.
  
  Please advise.
  
  Thanks,
  Neil

  Hi Neil Smit,
  

  Unfortunately this feature is still not implemented and it is still unknown when we will be able to introduce it.

  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  Any chance this feature has been added?  It would be hugely helpful to use a RegEx as a mask, most other controls suites support this functionality.

  Hello Christian Surieux,
  
  You could achieve this functionality by setting the MaskType to None and handling the ValueChanging event. In this event, you can check with a regex expression whether the e.NewValue matches an email pattern and handle the event (e.Handled = true) if it does not match. You should also set the UpdateValueEvent to LoseFocus, so that the ValueChanging event is raised only when the focus is lost and not on key press.
