Strange Behavior of RadMaskedEditBox

[Eastern]

hi,

i am using inheriting RadMaskedEditBox in a user control with Mask="D" for numeric only text boxes.
the strange behavior is that the textbox text becomes "0" when the control lost focus.
i traced it the problem arises from RadMaskComplexEditBehavior.UpdateUI() the change the RadMaskTextBox.ParentText to "0" and problem starts!

how can i solve this problem ?

thanks.

Hello Eastern,

Could you clarify a couple of points please.
In my case, a RadMaskedEditBox with the following settings:

Me.RadMaskedEditBox.Mask = "D"
Me.RadMaskedEditBox.MaskType = MaskType.Numeric

has a default value of 0. This is what I would expect as it only accepts numeric input.
If I change this to (e.g.) 44 and tab away, then the text still reads 44.

Is this what happens for you too?

For reference I am using the latest 2010 Q3 SP1 version.

hi richard,

a bit different, actually i set my desired number in the form_load into the textbox not entered by hand.

Form_Load:
maskedTextBox1.Text = "14"

Hi Eastern,

The reason that this happens (I think), is that the text property is taken from the value property. You have changed the text but not the value so when you tab away, the text is updated to match the value. Please try setting

maskedTextBox1.Value = 14

instead of the text, and you should find all is ok.
Hope that helps, but let me know if you need more information

actually, i have a new implementation of Value in my inherited user control , is it ok?

[Richard Slade]

I think it will be fine. Give it a go (using .value rather than .text) and let me know if that's ok
thanks

i used this piece of code in my implementation of  Text and Value :

base.Value = value;

and everything works fine now ;)
i marked your helpful post as answer.

Thanks Richard.
