GridViewMaskBoxColumn

[Zahra]

Hello
I wanted to have a column which has thousand seprator  so I used "GridViewDecimalColumn" but when I typed in the cell the thousand separator
has been disappeared and when I left the cell it was shown again. as the result of this i decided to use "GridViewMaskBoxColumn" insted ,because
it hasnt those problem .
by using GridViewMaskBoxColumn  my problem solved but I face to another problem,I need to set maximum value to this column
but I cant define MaximumValue for this column ,please help me to do this.

  GridViewMaskBoxColumn dec = new GridViewMaskBoxColumn();
            dec.FieldName = "dec";
            dec.FormatString = "{0:#,##}";
            radGridView1.Columns.Add(dec);

Hello Zahra,

Thank you for writing.

The GridViewMaskBoxColumn and our RadMaskedEditBox do not support Maximum and Miniumum values. In case that you need a Maximum \ Minimum,  you should use a GridViewDecimalColumn.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

Kind regards,

ok thank you
I have another question I used the code bellow to create currency column
GridViewMaskBoxColumn maskBoxColumn = new GridViewMaskBoxColumn();
            maskBoxColumn.Name = "Price";
            maskBoxColumn.FieldName = "UnitPrice";
            maskBoxColumn.HeaderText = "Unit Price";
            maskBoxColumn.MaxLength = 5;
            maskBoxColumn.MaskType = MaskType.Numeric;
            //maskBoxColumn.Mask = "C";
            maskBoxColumn.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.BottomRight;
            maskBoxColumn.FormatString = "{0:C}";
by using this code the problem with thousand separator solved ,but I dont want to see the currency symbol in this column
is this possible?

Hi Zahra,

Thank you for writing back.

You should change the C mask with N mask to achieve your goal. For example:

maskBoxColumn.FormatString = "{0:N}";

For more information you can refer to this blog post - String Formatting in C#.

I hope this helps.
