Help with passing data to a masked textbox

Hi,

I am able to select data from a listbox and pass it to a regular textbox (ItemA) using the code below,

ItemA.Text = ListBox1.SelectedItem.Text

However the code doesn't work with a masked input box, how do modify the code to pass the value selected from a listbox to a masked input box? I am using ASP.NET.

Hi,

Please check the below sample code!

<ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager runat="server" ID="scriptManager1">
    </ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager>

    <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtBox"></asp:TextBox>

    <ajaxToolkit:MaskedEditExtender runat="server" ID="maskedTextBox" MaskType="Number" Mask="99.99" TargetControlID="txtBox">
    </ajaxToolkit:MaskedEditExtender> 

 
//Code behind - Initialing the value
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            txtBox.Text = "11.11";
}

Hi,

Check the sample code, which is working fine for me!

 <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtBox"></asp:TextBox>

    <ajaxToolkit:MaskedEditExtender runat="server" ID="maskedTextBox" MaskType="Number" Mask="99.99" TargetControlID="txtBox">
    </ajaxToolkit:MaskedEditExtender> 


    <asp:ListBox runat="server" ID="listbox" >
        <asp:ListItem Text="text1" />
        <asp:ListItem Text="text2" />
    </asp:ListBox>

    <asp:Button runat="server" Text="Add" OnClick="btnClick" />

//Copy the Masked textbox data to Listbox
 protected void btnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            listbox.Items.Add(txtBox.Text);
        }

Sorry, I meant what is the proper code to copy selected item from a listbox to a Masked InputBox?

Hi,

Then try the following code!

Use the same code above, but the button click handler changed

 protected void btnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //Copy the selected value to Masked text box!
            txtBox.Text = listbox.SelectedValue;
        }

Open in new window

Hope it helps u...

I need the text, not the value. This code works when the input control is unmasked, any ideas why it does not work when the control is masked?

C1NSNA.Text = C1NSN.SelectedItem.Text

Thanks.
