.NET MAUI MaskedEntry Value

Updated on Aug 21, 2026

All MaskedEntry types expose a Value property that gets or sets the current input without the formatting characters.

Masked Type	Value Type
RadTextMaskedEntry	string
RadEmailMaskedEntry	string
RadRegexMaskedEntry	string
RadIPMaskedEntry	string
RadNumericMaskedEntry	object

The value of the Value property accepts null, if the AllowNullValue property is set to true.

Example with RadTextMaskedEntry

Define the RadTextMaskedEntry in XAML:

XAML

<telerik:RadTextMaskedEntry x:Name="textMaskedEntry" Mask="aaaa" Value="ABCD" AutomationId="textMask"/>

Add the telerik namespace:

XAML

xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Maui.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Maui.Controls"

Define the RadTextMaskedEntry in C#:

C#

var mask = new RadTextMaskedEntry
{
    Value = "Test"
};

Add the telerik namespace:

C#

using Telerik.Maui.Controls;

Null Value Support

By default, the MaskedEntry control doesn't allow you to set null to its Value property. Instead, the null value in the NumericMaskedEntry is coerced to 0. To allow null values, set the AllowNullValue property to true.

RadNumericMaskedEntry with null value support

Define the control:

XAML

<telerik:RadNumericMaskedEntry x:Name="allowNullValuesTextMaskedEntry" Value="5"  AllowNullValue="True" AutomationId="textMaskNullAllowed"/>

Add the namespace:

XAML

xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Maui.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Maui.Controls"

For the MaskedEntry Value example, go to the SDKBrowser Demo Application and navigate to MaskedEntry > Features category.
