MaskedEditBox used for editing IP addresses

[Michael Werner]

Hi all,

I´ve a problem with the MaskedEditBox. I want to use the MaskedEditBox for editing ip addresses. So I initialized the control as follows:

Mask = @"###\.###\.###\.###";
UsageMode = MaskedUsageMode.Numeric;
DecimalSeparator = '.';
MinValue = (decimal)0;
MaxValue = (decimal)255;

My problem: the MaxValue seems to relate only on the first three digits (the first field of four). But I want it logical separate on all four fields.

Could anyone help me?

Hi,

The MaxValue and MinValue properties are not supported for sections of the Mask. It is possible to achieve the kind of validation you need by handling the MaskCustomValidate event. However, to make the parsing of the content easier, I have made a minor change to the MaskedEditBox control that is not available in the publicly available versions. I will send you a sample along with the modified version so that you use that till the next update is released. I will send the sample to you by tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience.

Regards,

Davis

Hi,

The attached sample shows how to implement a IP Address control using the MaskCustomValidate event. You will need to install the latest version 1.6.1.3 for this to work:

To see the Readme / release notes, see: http://www.syncfusion.net/squiffler/patches/v1613/readme.htm

If you have version 1.6.1.2 you can get the patch from : http://www.syncfusion.net/squiffler/patches/v1613/es_1.6.1.2_to_1.6.1.3_sp.exe

If you have version 1.6.1.1 you can get the patch from : http://www.syncfusion.net/squiffler/patches/v1613/es_1.6.1.1_to_1.6.1.3_sp.exe

If you have version 1.6.1.0 you can get the patch from : http://www.syncfusion.net/squiffler/patches/v1613/es_1.6.1.0_to_1.6.1.3_sp.exe
