RadMaskedTextBox delete,space and backspace key behavior

[Shane Woodward]

Is it possible to allow the delete, backspace and space keys pressed to make the contents of a numeric masked textbox value back to null.

Here my code:

            <telerik:RadMaskedTextBox Width="100" x:Name="txtGrossPay" Grid.Row="24" Margin="165,2,478,2" MaskType="Numeric" Mask="n2" VerticalAlignment="Center" ValueChanging="balances_ValueChanging" SelectionOnFocus="SelectAll" EmptyContent=""></telerik:RadMaskedTextBox>

I want the user to press delete, backspace or space to blank out (null) the value again, instead of 0-ing the value to $0.00

Regards.

Hello Shane Woodward,

The RadMaskedTextBox does not support nullable values so you would not be able to delete the value completely. It would take its default value, which is 0 for numeric values. You could try out our new masked input suite of controls, that we released with Q1 2011. They do support nullable values.

All the best,

I found this thread when I was trying to solve the problem of selecting all and hitting backspace did not clear the contents of the mask and the mask contents just reformed; here is the solution to that problem:

function txtGrossPay_OnValueChanged(sender, EventArgs) {
            if (!EventArgs.get_newValue() || EventArgs.get_newValue().length == 0) { //If they are trying to empty the text box then reset it to default
                sender.clear();
            }
        }
