Change selected text color in MaskedEdit

[Fernando]

Hello,

Is it possible to change the color of the selected text in MaskedTextBox? If you check the attached photo it shows a blue color that doesn't fit with our app's look and feel.

Kind Regards.

 

Fernando.

Hello, Fernando, 

I would like to note that RadMaskedEditBox hosts the standard MS TextBox. It doesn't suport changing the selection color. Additional information is available in the following MSDN thread: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/51733d80-46cc-4390-9130-f2964f240eb1/how-to-change-highlighting-color-of-textbox-control?forum=wpf

I can suggest you using RadTextBoxCotrol which allows changing the SelectionColor property value to a custom color. However, in this case it would be necessary to validate the user's input. 

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

Hi Dess, I've changed to RadTextBoxControl, how can I change RadTextBoxControl 's selected text color?

Hello, Fernando, 

In order to change the desired color it is necessary to simply set the RadTextBoxControl.SelectionColor property: 

this.radTextBoxControl1.SelectionColor = Color.Lime;

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
