Is it: maskPhone or mskPhone or mtbPhone or ......?
How do I get just the value that is typed into a MaskedTextBox?For instance, if I have a MaskedTextBox with the mask of (999) 000-0000 x000000, and the user typed in a phone number, like (905) 555-1234 x6869.How do I get back the raw number value, without the mask? (ie: 90555512346869)
View 3 RepliesAfter experimenting around with DevExpress controls and adding them to my form, Custom mask do not seem to work on the MaskedTextBox. If I place a custom mask and debug, I get a null reference exception.
It seems to be the maskedTextBox's mask property that is doing this. I have tried setting the mask through design and by code. However, neither way works.
My question is, is it possible to use a TextBox as a maskedTextbox? To be able to format it? I need the user to enter in hours, minutes, seconds like hh:mm:ss or 00:00:00.
Here's the error I get:
"NullReferenceException was unhandled. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I am creating a WinForms application using VS.NET 2005, VB.NET, and SQL Server 2000. My problem is the MaskedTextBox control. I can successfully insert the value in an SQL Server table column as smalldate such as 3/17/2009, but it displays as 31/72/009.
I tried the following with no success:mskLastPayment.Text = Format(rdr!LastPayment).ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")mskLastPayment.Text = rdr!LastPayment.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")mskLastPayment.Text = CType(rdr!LastPayment.ToString(), DateTime).ToShortDateString

View 1 RepliesI am trying to find a way to validate my MaskedTextBox control called mskDate which is a short date property. I need to determine whether the user entered a date in the MaskedTextBox control. I cannot use the Not IsDate function because what happens if the user does not make an entry, then the Not IsDate would not work because the user is not required to enter a date. What happens if the user only enters 03/? This would not be considered a date, but a valid date is required. I tried using the substring to see if an entry has been made but it does not work because of the / / format.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to find a way to adjust the height of a MaskedTextBox. The height seems to depend only on the font size. I tried to create my own class and use SetStyle to allow me change the height but it didn't seem to have any effect. I set the parameter to True and False, both with the same result. The height changed according to the font size and I could not change it. The code is shown below.
What is the purpose of the FixedHeight style? Is there a way to control the height of the MaskedTextBox?

Does anyone know how to set the maskedtextbox to a currency format that actually works? I have set the mask to $999,999.00 but the user input looks like this 120,0 instead of this 12.00. It seems like the maskedtextbox would be able to handle this type of input without using the keypress events to alter the text.
View 4 RepliesI am going to make a form which will have 10 MaskedTextBoxes. I want to validate input of all these MaskedTextBoxes then Sum the input of validated one into another MaskedTextBox. If there is any value in any MaskedTextBox it mast be validate by the format of "9990.000" or if it is empty return zero. I do not want to write the same code for every MaskedTextBox, I want to use function & sub. The problem with "e" type TypeValidationEventArgs. When I call the SumBurBoxes sub in txtBur_1_TypeValidationCompleted & give the "e" as second parameter, then if the txtBur_1 be invalid type and any other txtBur Boxes have value it will get error on all boxes if the txtBur_1 be valid type even the the other boxes be invalid type it does not get error on them.
Here is my Code.

I have a MaskedTextBox set to validate Zip Codes.
I set up my code to allow the user to enter either 5 numbers since most people like me don't know the last four of their zip codes.
The plan here is to allow the user to either enter 5 numbers or 9 numbers. The numbers cannot be less then 5 or more then 9.
If the user does not enter the numbers they cannot leave the field.
This is just a practice project.
This is the code I have written.
I have chaged this code multiple times for about an hour and cannot figure out what I am doing wwrong.
take a look:
Private Sub masTxtCusZipCodeField_Leave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles masTxtCusZipCodeField.Leave
If masTxtCusZipCodeField.Text.Length = 4 Or masTxtCusZipCodeField.Text.Length = 8 Then

View 4 RepliesI have been looking through the MSDN library at the maskedtextbox documentation. It says that the maskedtextbox has a autosize property which i cant see in the properties window in VS2010, and nor can i see it in the intellisense window that pops up when I try to write MaskedTextBox1.AutoSize. I really need to be able to change the size of the maskedtextbox.
View 3 RepliesI have used a maskedtextbox with the following input Mask##?-##.##' >?The first 6 characters are numbers and the last character has to be a uppercase letter.

View 1 RepliesI need to know this because I am in a situation that I cannot find a alternative. I am using MaskedTextBox and has a Mask of "__/__/____". Obviously, It's a date format. Now, I cannot get if the MaskedTextBox is string.empty because it is not an empty. I cannot use "If MaskedTexBox.Text = "__/__/____" then " condition also because It never captured. If I used MaskTextBox.MaskFull = false, It gives an error on creating form. So I came up with an idea that would subtitute to TextChanged Event.

I am working on a mortgage payment calculator that has three user input textboxes (amount, interest, term). The interest input is a MaskedTextBox masked to (00.0). The issue I have is that if the MaskedTextBox is has no user input when the calculate button is selected then I get the error "FormatException was not handled" "Input string was not in the correct format", I highlighted the section in the code below. I'm quite positive the error stems from the MasketTextBox mask of 00.0, the decimal I believe causes the issue when no other data is entered.

I am creating an application where the user inputs must be restricted. Of course, the MaskedTextBox control provides the basic functionality for this, allowing me to set up a fixed input-string length, include literals if desired, etc. However, in some instances the available input-character types (digits, alphanumeric, etc.) are not sufficient to provide the restriction I require.
For example, in one field the user enters a hexadecimal number, i.e., composed of only characters [0-9][A-F], but there is no option in the default masking language for that. It would be nice to be able to add a couple masking elements, such as H and h for required and optional hex digit respectively. For now, I just check the Text contents of the MaskedTextBox after each TextChanged event and warn the user/remove the offending character(s), but I would prefer to be able to customize the Mask.
Is there any straightforward (or even not straightforward) way to accomplish this? For example, by creating a custom MaskedTextProvider? If so, how would I go about it?
I have built a customized control inheriting the maskedtextbox in VB.NET. But i face some issues in the calling of events. For eg. if there is control named : Control1 and in the designer file i set the text property of the same to some value (Control1.Text = "test"), then the text change property is called. But i need to call the event only when the text property is changed during the run time (not while initializing in the designer file). Is there anyway to trigger the text change event only when the text property
is changed in files other than the designer one.

I am using a masked text box to allow users to enter a serial number. The problem is that this serial number has to be communicated over the phone and people seem to be having trouble differentiating between O and 0 and I and 1.
I thought that a good solution to this might be some way of highlighting which characters in the textbox were numeric characters (as opposed to alphabetic characters). Obviously there is no way to do this without using a richtextbox and then I lose the masking ability. Highlight numeric characters in a maskedtextbox?
I am working on a VB.Net Windows application. I am trying to use MaskedTextBox. My mask is 999999, RightToLeft is true, TextAlign is right. It is not letting me enter characters from the right.

The tricky part here is, whenever the decimal sign key is pressed, the input procedure understands that the following number is to be displayed to the right of the decimal point (not left).
Now, I'm trying to do this in VB. Unfortunately, my all attempts failed with MaskedTextBox.
Do I have to hardcode this procedure in my program, or is there an easier way to get around this?
The problem is that, when you delete MM value from the MaskedTextBox, it is shifting remaining dd/yyyy values to left in the place of deleted MM.So we would like to know how to stop shifting of dd/yyyy to left when some data is deleted from the control.
