Breaking out the required field validation helped me get the date textbox to behave the way I need. Just positioning validation messages and such. Behavior I like here is that TextBox has no mask to start (focus off of textbox). When you put the cursor in the textbox or the textbox gets focus then the mask shows up: __/__/____. As you type the underscore placeholders dissapear but the '/' chars stay in place.
And finally, this is key, when you have a correct date and take the focus away from the text box the dashes stay in place. I just realized that is because the date mask seems to fill in the blank spaces with the current date. I cannot get this behavior with a phone. Granted there is no phone mask type. Here is the phone code:
I have tried MaskType set to number but it doesn't change the behavior. Right now the dashes dissapear when I take the focus off of the phone textbox. One thing I noticed with date is that if it is incomplete when it loses focus it fills in the rest with the current date values. Since there is no Phone mask type that behavior is not built in. Does anyone know how to set a default behavior so if you type in 55 in would automatically finish? 555-55-5555 And when you take the focus off it would keep the dashes. But if the textbox is empty I want with no focus the mask should dissapear completely.
I want a TextBox with a mask like (xxx) xxx-xxxx using a MaskedEditExtender. I tried to set up the mask property to "(999) 999-9999" or "(999) 999-9999" but nothing works. It there a way I can have the mask I want?
I am using the AJAX Toolkit MaskedEditExtender to format some of my web form's textboxes. When I load the page and start to enter data into the textboxes, the masking doesn't show. I've included my page code below:
using java script with update panel. I have checkbox, textbox with MaskedEditExtender inside update panel in web content form. I want to change the mask for MaskedEditExtender when I check the checkbox without doing pastback for the update panel using java script
I ran into a strange issue with the AJAX MaskedEditExtender control, the extender is used with the Mask="99/99/9999" and MaskType="Date". Initially when the page loads the textbox was set to readonly using textbox.Attributes.Add("readonly", "readonly") in the codebehind. After the page loads if the user clicks on a certain button it would change the textbox to editable using javascript code: textbox.readOnly = false. The strange thing is after that if you start typing in the textbox you can see the entire mask (__/__/____) shifting to the right as you type. For example it looks something like this: 09__/__/____ instead of the normal 09/__/____.
If the textbox was never set to readonly in the first place this behavior won't happen. So it seems something got messed up when changing from readonly to not. I was able to reproduce this in a barebone aspx page with just the textbox, the mask extender, and a button that when clicked turning off the textbox's readonly. Anyone knows how I can fix this?
I have confronted a problem of using MaskedEditExtender when try to restrict user to input a number mask with mask. User input of course has no problem. The problem is when the system get the value from database or somewhere (doing assignation), the textbox show the wrong value with the following mask setting: I am writing to contribute and share my solution: example:
textbox1: 1.1 (user input) by using the following mask: <asp:MaskedEditExtender ID="meeXML" runat="server" TargetControlID="textbox1" Mask="999.99" MessageValidatorTip="true" OnFocusCssClass="MaskedEditFocus" OnInvalidCssClass="MaskedEditError" MaskType="Number" InputDirection="RightToLeft" AcceptNegative="Left" ClearMaskOnLostFocus="True" ErrorTooltipEnabled="True"/> When the system get back the data, textbox1 will show: textbox1: 0.11 <- that is not the actual what I want: ========================================== the solution: ========================================== <asp:MaskedEditExtender ID="meeXML" runat="server" TargetControlID="textbox1" Mask="NNNNNNNNNNNN" MessageValidatorTip="true" OnFocusCssClass="MaskedEditFocus" OnInvalidCssClass="MaskedEditError" MaskType="Number" InputDirection="RightToLeft" AcceptNegative="Left" ClearMaskOnLostFocus="True" Filtered="." ErrorTooltipEnabled="True"/>
I have text box to enter a phone number. I'm using AJAX MaskedEditExtender and MaskedEditValidator to validate the phone.I have no problem with mask but the problem nothing happen when I enter for example only 3 number then lose the focus but as soon the focus on I will see the error message and it will disappear as soon as I write one number.
all what I want to get the error message if the user did not enter 9 numbers after lose the focus.
here is my code: <asp:TextBox ID="txtHomePhone" runat="server" ontextchanged="txtHomePhone_TextChanged"></asp:TextBox>
I have read through a lot of post but cannot find the answer I'm looking for. I'm using expression web 4 and asp.net 4.0 gridview to show database search results. The search works fine but the phone number mask from the database is not coming over in the results. I have tried some examples with the database, if I remove the mask on the column in the table and manually type in the phone number (###) ###-####, it works in the results.
If I keep the mask in the database, the results are just ########## in a row. I have also tried to use the datastring under edit colums with
{0:(###) ###-####} in the box with no luck. I have the HTML encode to False and the HTML format string set to true. I still get just the straight line of numbers for the results.
The database is a Access 2007 template and I'm actually using Access 2010.
We are using a MaskEditValidator to validate users input in a textbox which expects a date.
[Code]....
Our problem is that we would like that the textbox accepts two formats of date DD/MM/YYYY and DD/MM/YY, Can be possible to specify two types of mask in a MaskEditValidator ? Another idea how can we do this that users can enter the dates in the two formats and validate it ?
I have holiday manage screen (a date can be assigned with holiday)...so when user click on calendar I need to mask the days which are allocated with holidays...how to acheive this..
If possible can we show the title as holiday name when user mouse overs on date in the calendar
I'm having issues with a MaskedEdit on a textbox. I am using the the ClearTextOnInvalid property to prevent my user from inserting invalid information but when it deletes the text in textbox it does not clear the Mask.So if the user decides not to put anything in the box, I believe my code is seeing the mask as an invalid string. Is there a way to clear the mask after someone clicks out of the textbox? The ClearMaskOnLostFocus property is not working from textbox to textbox, only when no object has focus.
I have a user control which contains a text box, which is added dynamically to another control containing a repeater control and then finally to the aspx. As my user control with the text box is added dynamically using code, I have learnt that using JQuery to apply a date mask won't because it is added to a placeholder and thus the id of the textbox control won't be found by the JQuery, which goes a long way to explain my problems.
Prior to trying out JQuery, I used AJAX third party control from codeplex, but I had to drop that control because of other issues.
Therefore, is there a way for me to apply a mask, such as "__/__/____" to a text box that does not reply on AJAX or JQuery?
I have put one mask edit extender for a textbox which is inside a Gridview templete field and the MaskType="Number
Mask="99,99,999.99"My problem is described below Commas are not dispalying inside the GRidView.After clicking in the textbox its coming and immediately vanishing.
e.g. after typing it should come like this 34,56,789.00 but its coming like 3456789.00
I want to save the input mask used in the control, but ONLY if a valid value was entered. In this markup, the mask is properly displayed and stored even if the user doesn't enter anything. Since a zero-length string is a valid value, the entered value is being stored in the database as (___) ___-____ If there is no value entered, the value stored should be a zero length string.
I want masked ComboBox, so I use a MaskedEditExtenderwith a ComboBox. The two controls came from the ajax control toolkit. But I got an error: "Unable to cast object of type 'AjaxControlToolkit.ComboBox' to type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox'". Is there a way a can use a MaskedEditExtender with a combo box?
I am using MaskedEditExtender on my textbox.Set the masktype to number.Now the user can enter decimals also at any place to my textbox.Is it possible for my MaskedEditExtender to still accept that or I have to use custom javascript/ regex for this.
I'm having a really strange issue with the MaskedEditExtnder. I've attached some markup for one of the textboxes. I'm using a MaskedEditExtender and MaskedEditValidator along with a CalendarExtender so the user has the option to type the date or click on an image and pick the date.
So, if I enter/pick a date then select a control that forces a postback (usually a dropdownlist but not always) when the page is returned the focus goes back to the textbox I just entered the date in. So what about the MaskedEdit, MaskedEditValidator, CalendarExtender would cause the page to return focus to the control being extended? See markup below - am I missing something??
I'm having a issue with a MaskedEditExtender, I am using it for a datetime field with the sqltable field definition as smalldatetime, I have several error messages such as emptyvalue error message, minimium value error message along with a few others.
Everything works fine until i put a maximium value, on selecting either insert or edit it throws the error even if the date entered is between the minimium value and the maximium value and will not go away. As you are aware smalldatetime has a max value of 06/06/2079 which won't be a issue in my lifetime but for validation purposes I want to make sure the user doesn't accidentally enter a value larger than the max value thus causing an error on insert or edit.
