.NET MAUI MaskedEntry Value Format
The Telerik MaskedEntry for .NET MAUI allows you to set the behavior of the Value property in a mask scenario (when the Mask property is set). By default, the Value holds the characters without including the prompt characters and the literals defined in the mask.
If the ValueFormat property is set, the Value can hold both literals and prompt characters.
The ValueFormat property is an enum of type Telerik.Maui.MaskedEntry.ValueFormat and supports the following options:
- (Default mode)
ExcludePromptAndLiterals IncludePromptIncludeLiteralsIncludePromptAndLiterals
ExcludePromptAndLiterals
ExcludePromptAndLiterals is the default mode. The MaskedEntry value is stored without the prompt characters or literals defined in the mask.
For example, if Mask="##-##" and you enter 22-2_, the Value property will contain 222.
<telerik:RadTextMaskedEntry x:Name="excludePromptAndLiteralsMask" Mask="##-##" ValueFormat="ExcludePromptAndLiterals" Value="222" AutomationId="excludePromptAndLiteralsMask"/>
IncludePrompt
The Value property of the MaskedEntry control contains the prompt characters for the missing positions required by the Mask property.
For example, if Mask="##-##" and you enter 222, the Value property will be 222_, where the _ character is the default placeholder.
<telerik:RadTextMaskedEntry x:Name="includePromptMask" Mask="##-##" ValueFormat="IncludePrompt" Value="222_" AutomationId="includePromptMask"/>
IncludeLiterals
The Value MaskedEntry property contains the literals defined in the Mask property.
For example, if Mask="##-##" and you enter 22-2_, the Value will be 22-2, where the - character is the literal from the mask.
<telerik:RadTextMaskedEntry x:Name="includeLiteralsMask" Mask="##-##" ValueFormat="IncludeLiterals" Value="22-2" AutomationId="includeLiteralsMask"/>
IncludePromptAndLiterals
The Value MaskedEntry property contains both the literals and prompt characters for the missing positions required by the Mask property.
For example, if Mask="##-##" and you enter 222, the Value property will be 22-2_.
<telerik:RadTextMaskedEntry x:Name="includePromptAndLiteralsMask" Mask="##-##" ValueFormat="IncludePromptAndLiterals" Value="22-2_" AutomationId="includePromptAndLiteralsMask"/>
