Focus or StartEditMode on XamMaskedEditor
posted

Hi there,

How do I get the caret back into the XamMaskedEditor control after popping up a MessageBox?  I've tried calling Focus and StartEditMode (and defining the SelectionStart and SelectionLength properties), but they both seemed to go through all of the events: EditModeStarting, EditModeStarted, EditModeEnding, EditModeEnded.  Neither functions stop after EditModeStarted.

Regards,

Annie

    Hi Annie,

     

    All you should need to do is call Focus on the masked editor. I created a small sample to test this out and for me this works. There may be something specific to your app. Can you post a small sample that demonstrates this?

    public void btn_Click( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e )
    {
        MessageBox.Show( this, "Messge Box Text" );

        this.maskedEditor.Focus( );
        this.maskedEditor.SelectionStart = 5;
        this.maskedEditor.SelectionLength = 0;
    }
