MaskedTextBox and Select/SelectAll

The issue I have seems similar to the issue described at: http://www.syncfusion.com/support/Forums/message.aspx?MessageID=18975

While using a MaskedTextBox to captures dates (Mask = 99/99/9999) I am unable successfully call SelectAll or the other Select methods on the textbox.

I am using 4.1.0.58.

Thanks.

Hi Josh,

This issue with Enter event seems to exist now also.As a workaround,you can create a delegate for GotFocus event and call the SelectAll() method within that.

this.maskedEditBox1.GotFocus += new EventHandler(_GotFocus);

private void _GotFocus(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
this.maskedEditBox1.SelectAll();
}

I have logged a feature request for a new property that would automatically select the text.As we have overridden the Enter event to place cursor at different positions
[PositionAt property],we need to check out how behavior should go well with both the cases.
You can track the progress of implementation through the below given link.
