MaskedInput: Regex mask uses Placeholders

Currently when regex is used and the InputValue is bound and the control is focused several placeholders are added. This is incorrect behavior. The placeholders should not be added at all in regex scenarios.

===========
Workaround: Set Placeholder property to "" (empty string)

Hi Vandana,

The Placeholder property is of type char and there is no such thing as an empty char. You need to parse the character you want to use for the placeholder.

For example, if you want the appearance of an empty space, then you can use a whitespace character:

Placeholder = char.Parse(" ")

If you wanted to use the Unicode "null" character, then that's the following:

Placeholder = '\0'

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Yana

I was trying to set the Placeholder property to empty string, but it doesn't accept that. It gives error, "String must be exactly one character long", and if I put a space ' ', I don't see the line but the cursor still stops even after the value, and it looks like there are bunch of spaces in the textbox
