Sets the final editor text, selection anchor, and cursor position.

Namespace: DevExpress.Data.Mask

Assembly: DevExpress.Data.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Data

Declaration

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

Name Type Description
editText String

The final editor text.

cursorPosition Int32

The final cursor position.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Default Description
selectionAnchor Nullable<Int32> null

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.

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();
}
