RadMaskedEditBox literals issue

[Luc]

Hi, I got an issue with the RadMaskedEditBox with standard phone mask [phone]. It works well when we enter only digits, but when we hit the keys like 123123-1234, the '-' skips the next character so I got text like this "(123) 123-_123". I'm not really familiar with telerik controls and I tried to find some way to avoid this without success. So is there a property or something else to avoid this problem or is there a real issue with the control itself. 

Thank you very much.

Hi Luc,

Thank you for writing.

This is indeed an issue. We already have a simialr case logged in our Feedback Portal. You can track the item for status changes and add your vote for it here.

To workaround this, you can use the KeyDown event and manually change the position:

private void RadmaskedEditBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyChar == '-')
    {
        e.Handled = true;
        radmaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.TextBoxItem.SelectionStart += 1;
    }
}

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Regards,
