RadMaskedInput Disable Previous Input Cache

[Denin]

Hello,

 

I have a RadMaskedInput to gather information on a form. I have a button that saves the information on the form, then clears the form. When I click the RadMaskedInput a second time to enter a new value, it uses the a cache of the previously entered value, which I have to delete before I can continue typing or some parts of the previous text will remain with my new text. Is there a way to disable this caching so that that RadMaskedInput never shows previous data that was entered?

 

Thanks.

Hello Tyson,

By default the RadMaskedInput controls should not be caching their Value property. I am attaching a sample project, where I tested the described scenario, however the Value is cleared as intended. May I ask you to check it out and see how it differs from the setup on your end? 

Should you need any further assistance, can you modify the sample project in order to demonstrate the scenario and send it back in a new support ticket (since project files cannot be attached to forum posts)? This will hopefully allow me to investigate further and better assist you. 

I am looking forward to your reply.

Sorry for delays, I took a look at the project and it is for .net 4.5. Apologies, I am using .net core 3.1, so I was unable to try your project.

I'm finding that the RadMaskedInput is not a end-user friendly control and I've switched to RadWatermarkTextBox and I'm not having this issue. This post can be deleted/ignored. Thanks.
