RadMaskedEditBox - Custom Numeric Masks

[Marco]

Hello,

I have some trouble with RadMaskedEditBox using Numeric Masks.
When I use a standard Numeric Mask like "c2" or "N", it's working.
When I try to use any Custom Numeric Mask like "#,##.00 'CHF'" or a simple "0" I'm getting in trouble (can't type anything in the maskedbox !).

My final purpose is to have a mask for Swiss Currency typing (independant of culture, so I can't use the standard currency).
Some examples: "120.00 CHF", "1'420.15 CHF".

I actually use a workaround with the "N2" mask and a label for my "CHF".

Thanks

Hi Marco,

Thank you for writing.

These custom masks are not supported by RadMaskedEditBox. Please refer to this help articles that describe the mask characters that can be used in the Standard MaskType. 

As a suggestion for you scenario you can set explicitly the Culture property to Swiss:

radMaskedEditBox.Culture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr-CH");

then set the MaskType property to Numeric and the Mask to "C2".

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Hello Peter,

Thank you for explicity Culture trick. That's all in need for my situation!

Perhap's you should update this documentation:

http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/editors-maskededitbox-numeric-masks.html

Because it's talking about full supported custom numeric Mask according to your answer it's only Standard Numeric Mask!
