We recommend that you use the xamMaskedEditor control instead of the xamMaskedInput control. The xamMaskedInput is being planned for retirement over the next few years and will not receive any new features. We will continue to provide support and critical bug fixes for the xamMaskedInput during this time. For help or questions on migrating your codebase to the xamMaskedEditor, please contact support.
The xamMaskedInput™ control is a simple text box control that uses a mask to assist users in data input. Using a mask you can restrict user’s input to predefined text formats. You can use the xamMaskedInput control either as a stand-alone editor or in a cell in the xamGrid™ control .
