To reproduce: - Create a GridViewMaskBoxColumn with standard mask type and mask set to "aaaaaaaaaa". - Bind the grid to the following DataTable: private static DataTable GridDataTable() { DataRow dr = default(DataRow); DataTable dt = new DataTable(); dt.Columns.Add("Description"); dr = dt.NewRow(); dr[0] = "1234567890"; dt.Rows.Add(dr); dr = dt.NewRow(); dr[0] = "abc"; dt.Rows.Add(dr); return dt; } - Click the first cell in order to enter in edit mode. - Click the second cell and you will notice that the text is wrong. Workaround: - change the value in the CellEditor intialized event handler: void radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e) { if (e.ActiveEditor is RadMaskedEditBoxEditor) { RadMaskedEditBoxEditor editor = e.ActiveEditor as RadMaskedEditBoxEditor; editor.MaskTextBox.Value = "___________"; editor.MaskTextBox.Value = (string)radGridView1.CurrentCell.Value; } }
