    I have a simple form with a radMaskedTextBox.  The clientside event is firing correcly, but the control does not put valid characters in to the text box.  I have even tried getting it to accept any value  but it seems that the keypress event is preventing any character from being added.

    Any suggestions would be welcome as I am against a brickwall with this one now.

    Example page added.
    <%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default2.aspx.vb" Inherits="Default2" %>
     
    <%@ Register assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" tagprefix="telerik" %>
     
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
     
    <head runat="server">
        <title></title>
        <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
            function keyPress(sender, eventArgs) {
               var c = eventArgs.get_keyCode();
     
               if ((c < 48) || (c > 57)) {
                  eventArgs.set_cancel(false);
                    
               }
     
            }
       
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div>
         
            <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" Runat="server">
            </telerik:RadScriptManager>
         
            <telerik:RadMaskedTextBox ID="RadMaskedTextBox1" Runat="server">
                <ClientEvents OnKeyPress="keyPress" />
            </telerik:RadMaskedTextBox>
         
        </div>
        </form>
    </body>
    </html>

    Hello Ian,

    This behavior is not because of the client event you attached. RadMaskedTextBox has not been designed to work without a mask, as this defeats its purpose. In order to work RadMaskedTextBox you need to set the mask.

    Thanks,
    Shinu.

    Hi Shinu

    Thanks for the response.  I understand what you are saying.  The only problem is that my client does not want to see the PromptChar in the box.  Fussy I know.  Hence the reason I was trying without a Mask.  When I add the Mask in e.g. ############## then the numbers show up, but I have no need for the client side code as the content is then controlled by the Mask.

    Is there anyway to use the control with a mask without having PromptChar showing?

    Thanks

    Ian

    Hello Ian,

    Try setting the PromptChar and DisplayPromptChar.

    <telerik:RadMaskedTextBox  PromptChar=" " DisplayPromptChar=" "  />

    Thanks,
    Shinu.
