Using MasekdInput for the format: 2w 3d 4h 6m

[Divya]

Hi,
 
I require a control that would accept input in the form : 2 w 3 d 5 h 6 m. User should be able to input the values before d, w, h and m ( which represents weeks, days, hours, minutes). Is it possible to use MaskedInput to achieve the same. w,d,h and m should not be editable. How can I implement that?

Thanks,
Divya

Hello Divya,

I prepared a sample project for you and I hope it can serve as a base for your requirements. Basically I bound the Text of the RadMaskedTextInput to string property (TextValue) from the ViewModel. When the TextValue changes I update the Weeks, Hours, MInutes with parsing functions. If you need also two-way binding, you will need to bind the Value property of the MaskedTextInput to some other string property from the ViewModel. This property can be basically a product of concatenation ( this.Weeks +"w"+ this.Hours + "h +...).

Let us know if this helps you move forward.
