Declaration

[DefaultValue(MaskCaretMode.Regular)]
[Parameter]

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
MaskCaretMode	Regular	A caret navigation mode.

Available values:

Name	Description
Regular	Input focus remains within one section until a user moves focus to another section.
Advancing	After a user completes input into a mask section, the caret moves to the next editable section.

Remarks

Date-time masks can include multiple sections (for instance, the month and day sections). These masks allow users to modify only one section at a time. Input focus remains within one section until a user moves focus to another section.

Set the CaretMode property to Advancing to move the caret to the next editable section after a user completes input into a mask section:

<DxDateEdit @bind-Date="@date" 
            Mask="@DateTimeMask.ShortDate">
    <DxDateTimeMaskProperties CaretMode="@MaskCaretMode.Advancing" />
</DxDateEdit>

@code {
    DateTime date { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;
}
