  4. Why is SFMaskedEdit remembering the last text and appending it to the new text despite clearing the value of the property it's bound to?

Why is SFMaskedEdit remembering the last text and appending it to the new text despite clearing the value of the property it's bound to?

The SfMaskedEdit in my program is displaying a strange behavior, it takes whatever value I put into it, remembers it, and then appends it to the new value I put whenever I try to clear the previous value through my reset command.

C#
1. The property the Text Value is bound to:
        private Customer newCustomer;
        public Customer NewCustomer
        {
            get { return newCustomer; }
            set { newCustomer = value; RaisePropertyChanged("NewCustomer"); }
        }

        public class Customer : BaseSearchableCollectionClass
        {
            private string firstName;
            public string FirstName
            {
                get { return firstName; }
                set { firstName = value; RaisePropertyChanged("FirstName"); }
            }

2. The reset command:
        public RelayCommand ResetNewCustomerCommand { get; private set; }
        public void ResetNewCustomer(object message)
        {
            NewCustomer = new Customer();
        }
        public bool ResetNewCustomerCanUse(object msg)
        {
            if (HasChange() == true)
                return true;
            return false;
        }

XAML
1. SFMaskedEdit:
     
          Text="{Binding NewCustomer.FirstName, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"                          
          Mask="[0-9a-zA-Z ]{0,20}" 
          MaskType="RegEx"
     />

2. Reset Button:
     
          Command="{Binding ResetNewCustomerCommand}" 
          Content="Reset"
     />

The mask type was supposed to be regex and there shouldn't be a default value since it's a field for the customer to put his name.

I recreated my implementation using your example and got the same problem wherein if I tried to reset the property and write on the masked edit, it appends the previous value to the new one. It's like this: https://gfycat.com/embellishedpalefantail

1. C#
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

        }
        private void SfMaskedEdit_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            CustomerViewModel model = new CustomerViewModel();

            this.DataContext = model;
        }

    }

    public class CustomerViewModel: INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        private Customer newCustomer;

        public CustomerViewModel()
        {
            NewCustomer = new Customer();
        }

        public Customer NewCustomer
        {
            get { return newCustomer; }
            set { newCustomer = value; RaisePropertyChanged("NewCustomer"); }
        }

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
        public void RaisePropertyChanged(string property)
        {
            if (PropertyChanged != null)
            {
                PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
            }
        }

        private ICommand resetcmd;

        public ICommand ResetNewCustomer
        {
            get
            {
                resetcmd = new DelegateCommand(Reset, CanReset);
                return resetcmd;
            }

        }

        private bool CanReset(object arg)
        {
            return true;
        }

        private void Reset(object obj)
        {
            NewCustomer = new Customer();
        }
    }

    public class Customer : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        private string firstName;
        public string FirstName
        {
            get { return firstName; }
            set { firstName = value; RaisePropertycanged("FirstName"); }
        }

        //
        // Summary:
        //     Occurs when a property value changes.
        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
        public void RaisePropertycanged(string property)
        {
            if (PropertyChanged != null)
            {
                PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
            }
        }
    }

2. XAML
    <Grid>
        <StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Center">

There's a MAJOR problem when the masked edit has a default value (which is required for my other masked edits since they allow me to edit an existing customer value for example), actually there's two:

1. There's a weird interaction when editing over the default value:
1.a. I can't type in between the letters
1.b. I can only type in front of the initial value
1.c. If I type a value in front and type in between the letters, the letter I typed will appear before the default value

2. Now let's say I've successfully removed the entire value on the masked edit using the process above, now the same problem persists wherein if I:
 2.a. Type a new value
 2.b. Press the reset button
 2.c. Type on top of the default text
The result is that it would do the append bug again.

Here's the code with the default value:

    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

        }
        private void SfMaskedEdit_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            CustomerViewModel model = new CustomerViewModel();

            this.DataContext = model;
            model.NewCustomer.FirstName = "Default";
        }

    }

    public class CustomerViewModel: INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        private Customer newCustomer;

        public CustomerViewModel()
        {
            NewCustomer = new Customer();
        }

        public Customer NewCustomer
        {
            get { return newCustomer; }
            set { newCustomer = value; RaisePropertyChanged("NewCustomer"); }
        }

        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
        public void RaisePropertyChanged(string property)
        {
            if (PropertyChanged != null)
            {
                PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
            }
        }

        private ICommand resetcmd;

        public ICommand ResetNewCustomer
        {
            get
            {
                resetcmd = new DelegateCommand(Reset, CanReset);
                return resetcmd;
            }

        }

        private bool CanReset(object arg)
        {
            return true;
        }

        private void Reset(object obj)
        {
            NewCustomer = new Customer() { FirstName = "Default" };
            //NewCustomer = new Customer();
        }
    }

    public class Customer : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        private string firstName;
        public string FirstName
        {
            get { return firstName; }
            set { firstName = value; RaisePropertycanged("FirstName"); }
        }

        //
        // Summary:
        //     Occurs when a property value changes.
        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
        public void RaisePropertycanged(string property)
        {
            if (PropertyChanged != null)
            {
                PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(property));
            }
        }
    }

Hi Mark,  
  
Thanks for your patience.   
  
Query 1: 
1. There's a weird interaction when editing over the default value: 
1.a. I can't type in between the letters 
1.b. I can only type in front of the initial value 
1.c. If I type a value in front and type in between the letters, the letter I typed will appear before the default value 
  
  
We are able to reproduce the reported issue and the reported cases is different from previous reported case which we provided fix. We will fix the new reported cases and provide the fix for the same on 17/07/2019. 
  
Query 2: 
2. Now let's say I've successfully removed the entire value on the masked edit using the process above, now the same problem persists wherein if I: 
 2.a. Type a new value 
 2.b. Press the reset button 
 2.c. Type on top of the default text 
The result is that it would do the append bug again. 
  
  
We have confirmed the patch which we provided in previous update fix the reported issue “old value appending issue”. Please find the video for the same. 
  
  
  
Please ensure from your side whether the provided patch is properly installed in your machine.

No, the no.2 problem did go away after the fix IF the text box didn't have a default value and was blank BUT it's still very much present IF there's a default value since if I decided to type after resetting to the default value, it'll append previous texts again, you can clearly see it on the 0:58 mark wherein I placed the cursor in the middle of the word "Default" and pressed f, which made the new text absolutely bonkers. I pulled up an on-screen keyboard so you could see what I'm typing.

KP Kanniyappan Panneer Selvam Syncfusion Team July 19, 2019 01:32 PM UTC

Hi Mark, 
 
Sorry for Inconvenience caused. 
 
On further analysis, the reported cases are working fine when using Value property instead of Text property of SfMaskedEdit which used in your application. Currently we are working to resolve the reported cases with text property. Meanwhile we suggest to use  Value property to resolve the reported issue. Please find the modified sample for the same. 
 
Code Snippet: 
<syncfusion:SfMaskedEdit MaskType="RegEx"  Mask="[0-9a-zA-Z]{0,20}" Width="255" Height="46"  
                                            Value="{Binding NewCustomer.FirstName, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"  /> 
 
 
 
 
Please try above solution and let us know whether the reported issue is resolved at your end. 
  
Regards, 
Kanniyappan P
