Masked Text Box - Net 2.0

I want to use the masked text box to do the following

1. to allow a 4 digit number to be entered - mask 0000
2. to allow currency value to be entered - mask 0,000,000.00

in example 1

when I set the this.mtb_ref.te xt = 65 I get displayed 6500 but what I
want displayed is 65 to the right of the box. I set the mtb to align right.

in example 2

when I set the this.mtb_amount .text = 1200.00 it displays as 1,200,000.00

What am I doing wrong.

Are you blanking out the rest of the text before tabbing out of the masked
text box?

When you tab into the box, does it select all the text so that ultimately
you end up replacing it?

Hi There I have spent alot of time trying to get a masked text box to validate e-mails, but with no success. Mainly because I can't figure out how to account for the wide variety of different e-mail addresses, for example: billwallis@hta.com bill.wallis@hta.com billwallis@hta.com.au bill.wallis@hta.com.au

Hi, I need to use a Masked Edit Control in my ASPX page. In VS.Net, I added the reference to MSMask.dll for my application & also added the MaskEdBox to the Toolbox. After adding the control to the web form, when I select the control & see its properties, I do not see the "Text" property. I also try to set the "Text" property in a javascript function, but cannot access it. Here is the code:

Curently I manualy code keypress edits. i.e. allow only 3 digits before decimal and two digits after decimal in .NET. Is there an easy solution to mask text boxes? The MSMASK32.OCX from vb6 does not seem to be appropriate for a desktop application with textboxes not bound to a dataset, am I wrong? -- How time fly's when you don't know what you are doing!

I have a masked textbox on my form. I have an onscreen keyboard with numbers only. The masked format for the masked textbox is: (###) ### - #### I want to make sure they enter the phone numbers properly, hence the mask. What I cannot seem to figure out is why can I not send the button captions (captions are the value of the number buttons, 1 through 9) into the masked box without an error? I get: Run Time Error '380'. Invalid...

I have unformatted text in my SQL 2005 database. I'm pulling it into a masked edit text box with a (999)999-9999 mask. Unfortunately, when I attempt to save the data back it doesn't work because I don't know how to get the 'masked' information back to the 'unmasked' raw data that the database wants.
