delete key in WebMaskEdit doesn't work right
posted

When I press the Delete key inside a WebMaskEdit, the cursor moves to the right.  Is there a way to make the delete key stay in place, and delete to the right, like it does in most Word processing controls?

    Hi,

    That is not supported as a built-in feature. If application expects that after delete key caret should keep its original place, then it should implement that behavior. In example below, the ClientSideEvent.KeyDown is processed, and after delete key caret is returned to its original place.

    var deleteEdit = null;
    var deleteCaret = 0;
    function txtCode_KeyDown(oEdit, keyCode, oEvent)
    {
          if(keyCode == 46 && oEdit.getSelection() < oEdit.getInputMask().length)
      {
        deleteEdit = oEdit;
        deleteCaret = oEdit.getSelection();
        window.setTimeout(    'deleteEdit.select(deleteCaret)', 1);
      }
    }
