Thanks for this. As a suggestion, some comments in the code would be helpful. If I wanted to expand this to include support of '##' hash marks, what would that look like?

Culture and Thousand Separator Awareness

I've added comments to Irena's code, and then set out to add support for non-US English cultures and the thousand separator.

The result is available through http://www.adduxis.com/blogs/blogs/sven/archive/2006/06/21/18.aspx

Shifting of numbers to the left is the least of problems I'd worry about.

Try to set the Mask = "####.##", then set

maskedtextbox1.text = "15.25"

The resul yo'd get is 1525. ". The mask completely ignores the decimal point.

You are right: you'd need to write a function that would take care of inefficiencies of Masked Textbox design

Use zeros instead of # in your mask; e.g. Mask = "0000.00" and you should get the expected result

hi irena, nice post but i have some comments. it is better if you will use the CultureInfo and CurrentCulture of the applications so you can use the correct decimal separators, parethesis, currency symbols and numbver digits. Replacing "$" sign is no good to me eso for multi-currency applications such as e-commerce, trading, sales automations and erp.

Do you have a VB.NET implementation?

I've found a simplier way:

private void maskedTextBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)

{

string buff = "";

int i;

if (maskedTextBox1.MaskCompleted)

{

e.Handled = true;

return;

}

char[] chars = maskedTextBox1.Text.PadLeft(5, ' ').ToCharArray();

for (i = 0; i < chars.Length-1; i++)

chars[i] = chars[i+1];

chars[i] = e.KeyChar;

for (i = 0; i < chars.Length; i++)

buff += chars[i];

maskedTextBox1.Text = buff;

}

I am using a masked textbox to i\p date in following format dd-MMM-yyyy. I've set the mask property as 00-AAA-0000 However if i assign text property of Masked textbox to a value like 11Jul2008 i can not delete first two characters from the masked textbox unless i delete remaining six characters first. Any idea what could be the reason.
