DxTextMaskProperties.SaveLiteral Property

Specifies whether an editor’s value contains constantly-displayed mask characters (literals).

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v22.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

[DefaultValue(true)]
[Parameter]
public bool SaveLiteral { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
Boolean true

true to include literals in an editor’s value; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Literal characters are arbitrary read-only characters in the Masked Input’s edit box. If you add a character that is not a meta or special character to a Text mask expression, the character is displayed in the edit box as is. To display a meta or special character as a literal, precede it with a backslash.

A user has no need to enter literal characters (the cursor skips over them).

<DxMaskedInput @bind-Value="Value" 
               Mask="@(@"\A>LL-00")" >
</DxMaskedInput>

@code{
    String Value { get; set; }
}

Text Masks - Empty Alpha-Numeric Sequence

Literals are saved to the Masked Input’s Value. To change this default behavior and not save literals to the editor’s value, set the SaveLiteral property to false.

<DxMaskedInput @bind-Value="Value"
               Mask="(000) 000-0000">
    <DxTextMaskProperties SaveLiteral="false" />
</DxMaskedInput>

@code{
    String Value { get; set; }
}
