Leading zero for RadMaskedEditBox DateTime formatting

[Eric Clemons]

Our client wants to input dates as MM-dd-yyyy with leading zeros.

I have the RadMaskedEditBox set as:
Mask = MM-dd-yyyy
MaskType = DateTime

What setting is missing to force and keep the leading zeros?    (specifically for the month and day)

With the current settings the following behavior occurs as follows:
    1. radMaskedEditBox.Value = someDateTimeObject; results in the leading zero of the month does not show
    2. Typing 0 causes the month mask to collapse to one character. The client expects to see 00 all the time as the 
        double 'M' explicity specifies requiring two digits.
    3. After typing the second digit the zero is not shown.  For example, typing '04' only shows '4'.
    4. The mask sticks on the month, never advancing to the day.  For example, typing '04022009' only results in '9-00-0000'
        as the last digit typed was a nine.

I'm using the absolute latest version of Telerik and this is still an issue.

Please tell me how I can take a mask of 00-00-0000 and set a RadMaskedEditBox.Value = "01-01-1960"

The desired result would be: "01-01-1960" but the current control returns this: "11-19-60__"

Clearly - not the correct value.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Curtis,

Thank you for writing.

I have tested with the latest R1 2018 version of the assemblies and the specified mask is properly applied:

this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskType = MaskType.Standard;
this.radMaskedEditBox1.Mask = "00-00-0000";
this.radMaskedEditBox1.Value = "01-01-1960";

I am also attaching a screenshot showing the result on my end. In case you keep experiencing an issue with the leading zeroes in the discussed scenario, please open a support ticket and send us your project.

Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.

Hello Hristo :)

Your mockup from above does not match the scenario I initially wrote about.

Your code is setting radMaskedEditBox1.Value = a string that's already been formatted.

My code is setting radMaskedEditBox1.Value = a DateTime object.

Hi Curtis,

Since you are using a DateTime object, you will need to the use the date and time masks and have the control`s MaskType property also set to DateTime: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/editors/maskededitbox/date-and-time-masks.

this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskType = MaskType.DateTime;
this.radMaskedEditBox1.Mask = "dd-MM-yyyy";
this.radMaskedEditBox1.Value = new DateTime(1960, 1, 1);

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.
