Change foreground of placeholders in RadMaskedTextInput

[Johan]

Hello,

I'm using a RadMaskedTextInput and I'm wondering if it's possible to change the foreground color of just the placeholders?

What I'm trying to accomplish is for every X in below image to appear in a brighter color than the text typed in by the user.

What my RadMaskedTextInput looks like currently:

What I want the foreground to look like:

Hello Johan,

This requirement is not supported by the RadMaskedInput controls.

The reason for this is that the text of the RadMaskedTextInput is displayed via a PreviewInputTextBox element, which is a custom control that derives from the native WPF TextBox element. Both of these elements do not support changing parts of the text they display, such as changing its foreground color or setting an opacity.

With this being said, I hope the provided information will be of help to you.

Regards,
