A simple mask editor is needed to filter input as a user types.
ASPxEditors - Mask functionality is needed
Answers
In version v2009 vol.1, we've implemented mask functionality within some editors of the ASpxEditors library.
Now masked input is supported by the following editor types:
- Text box editors (in particular, the ASPxTextBox and ASPxButtonEdit).
A text box mask settings can be accessed via the MaskSettings property. The editors mask can be specified via the MaskSettings.Mask property.
- Date editors (ASPxDateEdit).
To enable masked input within a date editor, the UseMaskBehavior property should be set to true. The mask can be defined via the EditFormatString property, if the EditFormat property is set to Custom.
Thanks,

FYI: We've started to work on the Mask Editor and hopefully it will be done in v2009.1.
Thank you,

Hello,
This is great news. I'm sure you have done your homework on this. But if you'd like some feedback:
I currently use some mask editors from Infragistics that they call Web Editors that I will no longer need to use as I'd much rather use a DevExpress component/editor. Currently I take advantage of their following editors from Infragistics:
WebMaskEdit which has a DataMode property with the following settings which is helpful:
- AllText
-RawText
-RawTextWithAllPrompts
-RawTextWithLiterals
-RawTextWithRequiredPrompts
-RawTextWithRequiredPromptsAndLiterals
WebCurrencyEdit which has a DataMode with the following settings which is helpful:
- Byte
- Decimal
- Double
- Float
- Int
- Long
- Sbyte
- Short
- Text
- Uint
- Ulong
- Ushort
Looking forward to the release of your Mask Editor.
Thanks,
David Humphrey
