C#

public void SetResult(
    string editText,
    int cursorPosition,
    int? selectionAnchor = null
)

VB.NET

Public Sub SetResult(
    editText As String,
    cursorPosition As Integer,
    selectionAnchor As Integer? = Nothing
)

Name	Type	Description
editText	String	The final editor text.
cursorPosition	Int32	The final cursor position.

Remarks

After you have checked the current editor text (CurrentEditText) and the edit a user attempts to perform (ResultEditText), call the SetResult method to set the final editor text. The code below illustrates how to capitalize all letters entered by a user, and reject characters that are not Latin letters.

C#

protected override void ProcessCustomTextMaskInput(CustomTextMaskInputArgs args) {
    if (args.ActionType == CustomTextMaskInputAction.Init) return;
    var textInfo = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.TextInfo;
    if (Regex.IsMatch(args.InsertedText, @"^[a-zA-Z]+$"))
        args.SetResult(textInfo.ToUpper(args.ResultEditText), args.ResultCursorPosition);
    else args.Cancel();
}

VB.NET

Protected Overrides Sub ProcessCustomTextMaskInput(ByVal args As CustomTextMaskInputArgs)
    If args.ActionType = CustomTextMaskInputAction.Init Then
        Return
    End If
    Dim textInfo = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.TextInfo
    If Regex.IsMatch(args.InsertedText, "^[a-zA-Z]+$") Then
        args.SetResult(textInfo.ToUpper(args.ResultEditText), args.ResultCursorPosition)
    Else
        args.Cancel()
    End If
End Sub
