Masking, formatting cell value
posted

Hi,

I have various data in ultragrid and I would like to format some data in the cell.

So I have a string:

1234567       890

and I would like to format it in the following way:

123|456|7_._|_|__.__|890

I  tried following approach:

UltraGridColumn.MaskInput = "aaa|aaa|aa.a|a|aa.aa|aaa";

UltraGridColumn = MaskMode.IncludeBoth;

The problem is that it does not work as expected. Data are displayed like this:

123|456|7_._|_|_8.90|___

I have found out that the problem is present when string I want to format includes spaces. As long as I remove the spaces everything is fine. I have replaced space with x. String now looks like this:

1234567xxxxxxx890

Formatted string is displayed as expected:

123|456|7x.x|x|xx.xx|890

I have numbers in the sample, but they should be treatet as string. So instead of 1234 I can have abcd.

So my question is what do I do wrong? How do I format string 1234567       890 with spaces to be displayed as 123|456|7_._|_|__.__|890?
