WinMaskedEdit and Literals

Gabor Barbaro posted over 13 years ago

Hi,

our mask for an indexed number (data type is string) has following settings:

this.InputMask = "nnnnn.aaa";
this.ClipMode = MaskMode.IncludeLiterals;
this.DataMode = MaskMode.IncludeLiterals;
this.DisplayMode = MaskMode.IncludeLiterals;
this.TabNavigation = MaskedEditTabNavigation.NextSection;
this.AllowShiftingAcrossSections = false;
//this.EditAs = EditAsType.String;

In the edit mode we see the separating point between the numeric and alphanumeric parts, but it disappears in display mode and in the bounded data.

With FormatString = "#####.&&&"; we are able to solve the problem in design mode, but not in the underlying data. It seems that MaskMode.IncludeLiterals does not take a point for Literal. "\." helps nothing.

We are using the German[de-DE] culture, where a point is a thousand separator.

Hi,

With the WinMaskedEdit settings as you have specified here I am unable to recreate the behavior you are experiencing. Can you send my your sample? It will help me to identify what's happening.

Hi Troy,

I have attached a test project.

I have commented out the code with FormatString. You can see the difference between a grid with MaskedEdit column and an other without.

With FormatString it seems to be OK first. But after editing the '.' disappers.

Hi Troy,

the overloaded constructor loads the default constructor, including the code above, via : this()

We can't handle the settings in the designer. It is a simplified example. In the real project we have more than one row types, and we have to use the InitializeRow event to handle the settings according the row type.

But I have the solution:

after
row.Cells["Number"].EditorComponent = ...

we have to call:
row.Cells["Number"].Column.UseEditorMaskSettings = true;

Thank you.

Hi,

In reviewing your code I'm not right away seeing where you are setting your mask properties:

        this.AllowShiftingAcrossSections = false;
         this.ClipMode = MaskMode.IncludeLiterals;
         this.DataMode = MaskMode.IncludeLiterals;
         this.DisplayMode = MaskMode.IncludeLiterals;
         this.TabNavigation = MaskedEditTabNavigation.NextSection;

         this.DisplayStyle = EmbeddableElementDisplayStyle.Default;
         this.EditAs = EditAsType.String;
         this.InputMask = "nnnnn.aaa";

I see that you have a method for this, but I don't initialy see where you are calling the method. I only see where you are calling the overloaded method.

Actually, an easier way to handle setting these properties is by doing it in the UltraWinGrid Designer. In the UltraWinGrid Designer you would click on "Bands[0] - 'DataClass' --> Columns, and input the property values. I did this and it worked nicely.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
