When you need versatile data entry controls combined with strict validation, Telerik MaskedEditBox control for Windows Forms is the perfect match to your criteria. It is a highly customizable, intelligent component for controlled data input, which enhances the functionality of the regular textbox by adding input validation and masks, such as date, IP Address, SSN, phone number, digits, and decimals.
Telerik MaskedEditBox is designed for allowing users to enter a particular type of value, and to restrict the values users can enter to that type. It automatically handles the parsing of values that the user enters and formats their values accordingly. It supports all common masks:
- Standard - The Standard mask distinguishes between proper and improper user input, depending on the application settings. You can use the standard mask to specify a format such as letters only, digits only, or any symbol;
- DateTime - The DateTime mask allows for free-form date and time entry. It assists the user by accepting various date and time formats and tries to recognize them and convert them into valid dates. If the entry is successfully recognized, it is formatted accordingly and displayed to the user. You can also specify the culture information by using the culture settings;
- Numeric - The Numeric mask supports restricting user input to numeric values, such as currency, percentage, or numbers. The formatting options take the Culture settings into account as well.
Telerik MaskedEditBox can be used together with an error provider and the standard .NET validation methods to verify the accuracy of the data entered by the user.
