Telerik.Windows.Controls.MaskedTextBox.ExtendedTextBox is missing in the 2016 release

Hi,

Telerik.Windows.Controls.MaskedTextBox.ExtendedTextBox is missing in the latest 2016 Toolkit. Please let me know if this has been removed and if so, what is the replacement for this.

Hi Tirumala Manikanta,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

Let me start with first that the RadMaskedTextBox was migrated to RadMaskedInput and the ExtendedTextBox was part of its ControlTemplate. It was also used in other controls in their older versions.

In order to help you to migrate your application, you can give use more information.
1. Which control from our UI for WPF suite you are using?
2. Have you set any custom style in your application? 

We are looking forward to your answer.

Hi Dinko,

Thanks for your response.

We are using ExtendedTextBox in Silverlight directly in the code to create a textbox like below.

Telerik.Windows.Controls.MaskedTextBox.ExtendedTextBox extTextBox = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.MaskedTextBox.ExtendedTextBox ();

After replacing the dll the above line is throwing below error.

Error 3 The type or namespace name 'ExtendedTextBox' does not exist in the namespace 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.MaskedTextBox' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Hi Tirumala Manikanta,

Let me start with that the ExtendedTextBox inherits the native TextBox control. So we can suggest replacing the ExtendedTextBox with just a TextBox control.

If there is a particular reason which is stopping you from using just a TextBox you can send us more information about the approach that you are trying to implement in your application.
