RadMaskedEditBox doesn´t react on KeyEvents

[Dieter]

Hi,

I was trying to set a KeyDown event on my RadMaskedEditBox but it doesn´t catch the event. TextChanged Events and others work fine but the Key/down/up and so on doesnt work for me.

I am using the Telerik Q3 Bundle for WinForms.

Thanks for any help.

Hello Dieter,

Thank you for writing.

RadMaskedEditBox and RadTextBox use the standard Microsoft TextBox control internally. You need to subscribe to its events instead.

Here is how you can do this:
this.radMaskedEditBox.MaskedEditBoxElement.TextBoxItem.HostedControl.KeyDown += etc...

Please write again if you have other questions.
 

Best wishes,

I got this solution early but it makes my program instable. There are too much errors after it.

Hi Dieter,

Thank you for writing.

This is the only way to capture the events of the underlying text box. Please specify what are the errors that you are experiencing. If your code is correct, the usage of these events will not cause anything unusual.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely yours,
