Windows Forms: Unable To Click To Focus A MaskedTextBox In A Non TopLevel Form
May 20, 2010I've got a Child form being shown with it's TopLevel property set to False and I am unable to click a MaskedTextBox control that it contains (in order to bring focus to it). I can bring focus to it by using TAB on the keyboard though.
The child form contains other regular TextBox controls and these I can click to focus with no problems, although they also exhibit some odd behavior: for example if I've got a value in the Textbox and I try to drag-click from the end of the string to the beginning, nothing happens. In fact I can't use my mouse to move the cursor inside the TextBox's text at all (although they keyboard arrow keys work).I'm not too worried about the odd TextBox behavior, but why can't I activate my MaskedTextBox by clicking on it?
Below is the code that shows the form:
Dim newReportForm As New Form
Dim formName As String
Dim FullTypeName As String
Dim FormInstanceType As Type

View 3 RepliesFormat A TextBox Like A MaskedTextBox?
Sep 21, 2011After 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."

View 1 RepliesMaskedTextBox Control Validation?
Apr 3, 2009I 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.

May 18, 2006I 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?

Set Maskedtextbox To A Currency Format?
Sep 16, 2007Does 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.

Validating Zip Code In MaskedTextBox
Mar 24, 2011I 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

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.

Calculator - MaskedTextBox Format Error
Dec 2, 2011I 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.

Custom Mask Language For MaskedTextBox?
Sep 16, 2010I 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?
Event Calling Mismatch In MaskedTextBox?
Jul 22, 2010I 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.

Highlight Numeric Characters In A Maskedtextbox?
Apr 14, 2011I 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?
