To reproduce: - Set the mask like this: private void RadForm1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { radMaskedEditBox1.MaskType = MaskType.Regex; radMaskedEditBox1.Mask = "^[0-9]{6} [A-Z]{4} [0-9]{7}$|^[0-9]{5}$"; } - Start the application, enter five digits and pres Tab. - The error icon apperas. Workaround: - Set the Mask before the MaskType: radMaskedEditBox1.Mask = "^[0-9]{6} [A-Z]{4} [0-9]{7}$|^[0-9]{5}$"; radMaskedEditBox1.MaskType = MaskType.Regex;
