I am using a masked edit text box in my windows application that was developed by using vb.net. In normal text boxes (CTRL+Z- to revert back to original value) is working fine. But In case of Masked Edit Textboxes its not working fine. This ctrl+Z should provide the functionality as same as normal textbox.

is there a setting in the options somewhere that makes the shortcut keys show with the underline when you run the application? In the designer it shows the shortcut keys with the underline but when i run the application it does not show the underline indicating a shortcut key. Now if I push the alt key they show up and they work fine just wondering if there is a setting somewhere that will make them show the underline automatically when you run the application so an inexperienced user knows that there are shortcut keys available?

I have used a masked textbox extender and the percentages display fine. using 99.99% as a mask and number as the mask type.Now my problem is that i want it to be converted to a decimal when i save it to the database e.g 50% saves as 0.5 and then when it comes back from the database it must display as 50% again. This is needed for numerous calculations. IS there a way to do this?

How to enter the date in the masked text box and how to validate it
View 2 RepliesOK, so i was going to verify a MaskedTextBox on whether the number input was or was not 10 digits in length. If not 10 digits, obviously they didn't put in a full phone number.
The problem is, even though you have no digits the length is still 10 so you can't check if the user put in 10 digits or not and return an error? Anyone got any ideas on testing for a phone number?I've seen tons of examples on date verification, but none on phone number verification.

View 8 RepliesI'm working on a project that employs a masked text box with a mask ####. When I run the code it pulls the value from the textbox then clears it. When I try to type in it again the first character is added before the mask. (ex. 1#### instead of ####) I've figured out that pressing backspace before trying to enter numbers again resolves this issue. Is there a way to send the backspace function rather than the chrs(8) like SendKeys.Send(Keys.Back) does?

Problem: I wanted data input text boxes that only accept numerical values between 0 and 999. I could check for this during a later 'save' routine, but instead preferred to warn the user at the input stage; so I chose masked textboxes - setting the mask to "000". However these boxes appear and behave differently. They have a row of 3 underscores - which I don't want - and also seem more difficult to hit with the cursor. How can I get Masked TextBoxes to appear and behave exactly as normal ones?
