GridMaskedEditColumn Width in edit mode

[EJ]

i cannot seem to set the width of the gridmaskededitcolumn in a radgrid when it's in edit mode - it always seems to go to some set size instead of the size I set it to - how do I set the width?

<telerik:GridMaskedColumn DataField="contactcontent" UniqueName="contactcontent"
                        FooterStyle-Width="90px" HeaderStyle-Width="90px" ItemStyle-Width="90px" Mask="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
                        HeaderText="Contact" ColumnEditorID="ContactContentGridTextBoxColumnEditor">
                    </telerik:GridMaskedColumn>
                    <telerik:GridMaskedColumn DataField="contactsecondarycontent" UniqueName="contactsecondarycontent"
                        FooterStyle-Width="25px" HeaderStyle-Width="25px" ItemStyle-Width="25px" Mask="aaaaa"
                        HeaderText="Ext." ColumnEditorID="ContactContentGridTextBoxColumnEditor">
                    </telerik:GridMaskedColumn>

<telerik:GridMaskedColumnEditor ID="ContactContentMaskedColumnEditor" runat="server"
            MaskedTextBox-PromptChar=" " MaskedTextBox-DisplayPromptChar=" " MaskedTextBox-DisplayMask="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
            MaskedTextBox-Mask="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa">
            <MaskedTextBox runat="server" Width="90px" DisabledStyle-Width="90px" EmptyMessageStyle-Width="90px"
                EnabledStyle-Width="90px" FocusedStyle-Width="90px" HoveredStyle-Width="90px"
                InvalidStyle-Width="90px" ReadOnlyStyle-Width="90px" PromptChar=" " DisplayPromptChar=" "
                DisplayMask="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
                Mask="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" />
        </telerik:GridMaskedColumnEditor>
        <telerik:GridMaskedColumnEditor ID="SecondaryContentMaskedColumnEditor" runat="server"
            MaskedTextBox-PromptChar=" " MaskedTextBox-DisplayPromptChar=" " MaskedTextBox-DisplayMask="aaaaa"
            MaskedTextBox-Mask="aaaaa">
            <MaskedTextBox runat="server" Width="25px" DisabledStyle-Width="25px" EmptyMessageStyle-Width="25px"
                EnabledStyle-Width="25px" FocusedStyle-Width="25px" HoveredStyle-Width="25px"
                InvalidStyle-Width="25px" ReadOnlyStyle-Width="25px" PromptChar=" " DisplayPromptChar=" "
                DisplayMask="aaaaa" Mask="aaaaa" />
        </telerik:GridMaskedColumnEditor>

also does anyone know how to get rid of the "_" on the display of the values promptchar does not work - it always shows the underlines even when i put in the " " instead as seen above

Hello,

Try the following code snippet from code behind and see whether this works for you.

C#:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
       if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditFormItem edititem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;
            RadMaskedTextBox txt = (RadMaskedTextBox)edititem["contactcontent"].Controls[0];
            txt.DisplayPromptChar = " ";
            txt.PromptChar = " ";
            txt.Width = Unit.Pixel(150);
        }
    }

Thanks,
Princy.

thanks for you help! that fixed it - got rid of the editcolumn editors and setting the mask (not the display mask but the mask) and the promptchar = " " and displaypromptchar = ""

since this is changing values when the individual row is created is it possible to change the mask depending on the value of another field that is a griddropdowncolumn? if so can this be done both when the data is displayed (I can see how to do that on itemdatabound) but how about when the value of a dropdown changes in the row that is being edited - being able to change the mask would be helpful then

Hello EJ,

Changing the RadMaskedTextBox mask on the client is not officially supported, but is possible:
