Hello Mando,

I was not able to replicate the behavior you describe. Would you try to replicate the issue in one of the online examples listed below?

• http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/maskedtextbox/overview/defaultcs.aspx

Alternatively, you can send us sample project or code snippets where the issue is replicated. This way we can examine the behavior and look for its cause.

On a side note, have in mind that the RadMaskedTextBox control does not have a MaskType property. Are you referring to a different control?

Hi Mando,

Thank you for writing.

I managed to reproduce the exception and I have  logged it in our feedback portal. You can track its progress, subscribe for status changes and add your vote/comment to it on the following link - feedback item. I have also updated your Telerik points.

Until we release a permanent fix please use the following workaround:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radMaskedEditBox1.Culture = new CultureInfo("ar-EG");
    this.radMaskedEditBox1.Mask = "c";
    this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskType = Telerik.WinControls.UI.MaskType.Numeric;

    this.radMaskedEditBox1.KeyDown += radMaskedEditBox1_KeyDown;
}

private void radMaskedEditBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.radMaskedEditBox1.SelectionLength == this.radMaskedEditBox1.Text.Length)
    {
        this.radMaskedEditBox1.SelectionLength = 0;
    }
}

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.

Hi Hristo, Thanks for your workaround 

I tested the control using your code and I got the below results:

1- if you typed a couple of numbers then selected all text of the radMaskEditBox then typed again it will add the text to the current

2- if you selected the currency mark which is "ج.م." for Egyptian currency you will get an error and the application will be terminated.

however I worked on it and the below code works fine with me:

private void radMaskedEditBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar))
    {
        if (radMaskedEditBox1.SelectedText.Trim() == "ج.م.‏") // Remove this condition if you want the box to accept the numbers while you are selecting the currency mark
            e.Handled = true;
        else
        {
            if (this.radMaskedEditBox1.SelectionLength == this.radMaskedEditBox1.Text.Length)
            {
                this.radMaskedEditBox1.SelectionLength = 0;
                radMaskedEditBox1.Text = "00";
            }
            if (radMaskedEditBox1.SelectedText.StartsWith("ج.م."))
                radMaskedEditBox1.SelectedText = "ج.م." + radMaskedEditBox1.SelectedText.Remove(0, 4);
        }
    }
    else
        e.Handled = true;
}

I hope this hepls, Please send me a notification when you have any update for the mentioned control
