Do you mean you only want non-alpha characters to be allowed to be input into the textbox? You want to filter the valid characters?

Solution 1

Have a look at this blog[^] - it has several examples

... that you can adapt to your own needs. See the way the FilterType can be changed. In your case you probably need to do something like

VB

FilterType="Numbers, Custom"

    ValidChars=".@+-"

Or whatever the list of characters you want to accept might be

But i want for same Textbox. that is for different textboxes.

CHill60 11-Jun-15 6:27am

You have to use the examples to work out how to set up the filtertype - see my amended solution

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 6:32am

Thts fine but i want my textbox like only five characters range should there
Like first letter should b UpperCase 2nd one Number 3rd one spl character like that.but It shoul be only five characters.if am typing 6th charcter it shld not allow.

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 6:34am

Just like unique Id

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 6:40am

And Valid chars="@,A,a" if we give like this then in o/p it is applied for AAAA soon.... but i want only once "A" like this.

You may also need a Mask Edit Extender[^] then

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 7:33am

But we cant use two extenders for one targetcontrolid

CHill60 11-Jun-15 7:39am

My understanding is that from VS2008 it was possible to have multiple extenders associated with a single control

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 7:40am

how about VS2010??

CHill60 11-Jun-15 7:44am

I think it's highly unlikely that Microsoft would have removed that capability just for VS2010 ... I said "from VS2008 ..."

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 7:46am

:(

CHill60 11-Jun-15 7:52am

Why the sad face? It means that if you have VS2010 you should be able to use multiple extenders for a single target control

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 7:54am

But it is not working..

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 7:36am

We can use but only numbers in maskedit extender.I want alphabets aswell.

CHill60 11-Jun-15 7:40am

A mask edit can handle any character, not just numbers

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 7:43am

MaskType is only for Numbers,Time,Date,DateTime,None.
Then how??

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 7:44am

Kindly Give me one example

CHill60 11-Jun-15 7:51am

Apologies - I was thinking of a different control than the one on the link.
Have you considered just validating it after the data has been entered?

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 7:53am

Validation Shld be done while entering the values

CHill60 11-Jun-15 7:58am

No - "validation" is something that happens after input is complete. You are trying to "filter" the possible inputs.
If you can't find an existing control extender that does what you need then you will have to get hold of the code (it's available to download) and change it to fit your requirements. Alternatively, build up the input with a series of textboxes - each one handling part of the required format - they don't have to look like separate fields on the page

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 7:59am

Okay.Do u have the code to download

CHill60 11-Jun-15 8:14am

The code is apparently available from the link I provided earlier. It is not my code so no, I don't have it.

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 8:17am

there is no code behind what u provided.just source page.
Do u have an idea how to do by coding.

CHill60 11-Jun-15 8:28am

There is a link to an self-extracting zip exe on the link that I provided. The code is in that zip file.

Member 11686116 11-Jun-15 23:41pm

Kindly provide the Zip file again.I Couldnot Find that..

Here is the link https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc184843.aspx[^] - the link for the code download is at the top of the article just below Dino Esposito's name
