Using a mask without displaying it

[Hk]

Hi Telerik,
I'm using RadMaskedInput to make an IP textbox. Currently the mask is: <0..255>.<0..255>.<0..255>.<0..255>

and the initial text in the textbox is: 000.000.000.000
I'm saving the text with literals (e.g. 192.168.168.201 and not 192168168201)

I'd like to know if there is a way (static or dynamic), to keep the abilities of the mask (enable only 4 groups of numbers, each number is between 0..255) but without initialiy displaying 000.000.000.000 but only spaces, meaning: "    .     .     .    ", and still saving it with the literals?

Thanks in advance,
Hk

Hi Hk,

You can set the PromptChar property in order to display spaces instead of zeros:

<telerik:RadMaskedTextBox ID="RadMaskedTextBox1" runat="server"
    Mask="###.###.###.###" PromptChar=" " />

After PostBack, you need to get RadMaskedTextBox1.TextWithLiterals in order to save the textbox value with the literals.

Kind regards,
