ASPxTextbox - masking, prompt always at last or first character

Question

Hi,

I have an aspxtextbox e.g

  <dxe:ASPxTextBox ID="txtZip" runat="server" Width="150">
                            <MaskSettings Mask="00000" ErrorText="Please input missing symbols" />
                            <ValidationSettings ErrorDisplayMode="ImageWithTooltip" />
                        </dxe:ASPxTextBox>

How can I modify it so that when the user goes to the textbox, it will always position the cursor at index 0, or the last entered character?

Thanks,

Jacob

Hi Jacob,

This can be done by handling the editor's client side GotFocus event handler. Here is some sample code:

<dxe:ASPxTextBox ID="txtZip" runat="server" Width="150">
                    <MaskSettings Mask="00000" ErrorText="Please input missing symbols" />
                    <ValidationSettings ErrorDisplayMode="ImageWithTooltip" />
                    <ClientSideEvents GotFocus="
                    function(s,e) {
                        var editorValue = s.GetValue();
                        if(editorValue)
                            s.SetCaretPosition(editorValue.toString().length);
                    }" />
                </dxe:ASPxTextBox>
