Remarks
Important
From v20.2, use the MaskSettings property to specify an input mask. See the following help topic for more information: Input Mask.
If an input mask is applied to an editor, users can only enter a value the mask permits. Use the following properties to specify a mask:
- EditMask — gets or sets a string value that specifies a mask expression.
- MaskType — specifies how to parse a mask expression. To disable the input mask, set this property to None.
The code below shows how to limit the input in a date-time column.
RepositoryItemTextEdit textEdit = new RepositoryItemTextEdit();
textEdit.Mask.MaskType = DevExpress.XtraEditors.Mask.MaskType.DateTime;
textEdit.Mask.EditMask = "yyyy-MMM-d, HH:mm:ss ";
gridControl1.RepositoryItems.Add(textEdit);
colOrderDate.ColumnEdit = textEdit;
Note
You cannot use input masks in the following editors: LookUpEdit, GridLookUpEdit, MemoEdit, MemoExEdit, and ImageComboBoxEdit.
