GridViewMaskBoxColumn and standart mask.

[Jose Mejia]

Hi.

For now I'm using GridViewMaskBoxColumn with standart mask type and 00°00'00.00000'' as a mask.
I also changed promt char to 0:

private void CellBeginEdit(object sender, GridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
 {
  RadMaskedEditBoxEditor editor = e.ActiveEditor as RadMaskedEditBoxEditor;
  if (editor != null)
  {
      editor.MaskTextBox.PromptChar = '0';

  }

...
}

The requirements has changed and now I need to show + or -  before the mask so it should look like
+00°00'00.00000''. The most easiest way is to use #00°00'00.00000'', but in this case when I start edit
masktextbox looks like 000°00'00.00000'' which is very inconvenient. So I need some how to provide possibility to let use enter (choose)
+ or - and preserve the old mask (00°00'00.00000''). The regex is also not very convenient.

Is the any possibility to provide selection of a sign for standart mask?

My control version is 2011.2.11.831

Thanks in advance.

Hello Jose,

I am happy that you found a solution for this.

I would like to propose to use "#00°00'00.00000" mask and handle the RadMaskEditBox's KeyPress event if user enters a number in the first position:

editor.MaskedEditBox.KeyPress
-= new KeyPressEventHandler(MaskedEditBoxElement_KeyPress);

editor.MaskedEditBox.KeyPress
+= new KeyPressEventHandler(MaskedEditBoxElement_KeyPress);

 

void MaskedEditBoxElement_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)

{

         if (char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) && this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.TextBoxItem.SelectionStart == 0)

         {

              e.Handled = true;

         }

}

I hope you find this useful.

Peter
