RadMaskedEditBox MouseClick Event

[Bret]

I'm trying to use the mouse click event on a RadMaskedEditBox, however nothing fires. Is this a bug?

thanks,

Bret

Hello Bret,

Thank you for writing.

You can subscribe to the Click event of the RadMaskedEditBox using the following code:

this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.TextBoxItem.Click += new EventHandler(MaskedEditBoxElement_Click);

I hope this will help you. If you have further questions, I would be glad to help. All the best,

I apologize for being vague and unclear. I need to assign the MouseClick event because I'm trying to capture a right mouse click on all labels, buttons, dropdownlists, and maskedEditBoxes. I'm able to use this with buttons, dropdownlists, and labels, but not the masked edit box.

If you consider the following code, There isn't MouseClick event for this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.TextBoxItem so I've tried using the MouseUp event. However that fails with the following invalid cast type exception: "Unable to cast object of type 'Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTextBoxItem' to type System.Windows.Forms.Control'." 

Now using this.radMaskedEditBox1.MouseClick will work, however the user has to click on the small border line to fire the event and isn't the desired action.

Lastly, I've tried this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.TextBoxItem.HostedControl.MouseClick, however left mouse clicks will fire the event, but not right.

This should be more helpful to the issue at hand.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 

{ 

//Runtime Error: Invalid Cast

this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.TextBoxItem.MouseUp += new MouseEventHandler(MouseClick); 

//Closest to working, but doesn't fire with right mouse click

this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.TextBoxItem.HostedControl.MouseClick += new MouseEventHandler(MouseClick); 

//Doesn't fire on the textbox, only the border

this.radMaskedEditBox1.MouseClick += new MouseEventHandler(MouseClick);

//Works perfectly

this.radLabel1.MouseClick += new MouseEventHandler(MouseClick); 

} 

    

private void MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) 

{ 

Control c = (Control)sender; 

this.radLabel1.Text = "Clicked On " + c.GetType() +
 " using a " + (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right ? "Right Click" : "Left Click"); 

}

Thanks for the help,

Bret

this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.TextBoxItem.HostedControl.MouseUp += new MouseEventHandler(MouseClick);

Seems to work.
