Hi,
I have an UltraGrid with a column using EditorWithMask for entering numbers as string type. I had the MaskInput set to "nnn,nnn,nnn,nnn,nnn", and it worked just fine showing commas as needed.
var editorSettings = new DefaultEditorOwnerSettings { DataType = typeof(string), MaskInput = "nnn,nnn,nnn,nnn,nnn" };var editorWithMask = new EditorWithMask(new DefaultEditorOwner(editorSettings));
Now I have a requirement for user to enter a number with a "%" optionally. Is there a way to specify such MaskInput? For example, they can enter numbers with or without "%" sign.
100
10
100%
10%
If it's not possible, how do I implement such feature and do you have any examples? Thanks.
Hello Michael,
Thank you for posting on our forums.
As of now UltraMaskedEditor do not have functionality that supports entering a number with “%” optionally. I recommend using an UltraTextEditor and performing a validation to check for the “%” in the input text for achieving this.
You can refer to this link to go over the supported input mask characters of UltraMaskedEditor.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Do you have any example for UltraTextEditor? I couldn't figure out how to use UltraTextEditor, I am only able to set EmbeddableEditorBase into the column.Editor. I was looking at EditorWithText, but haven't figure out how to validate input as user types while still in edit mode. I read posts where we can do check value BeforeExitEditMode on the grid, but I think it's too late. Please advise. Thanks.
