Hi,
I'm getting weird / unexpected behaviour when using the masked edit box configured to handle IP Addresses.
So using the latest Demo Application, I open up the Masked Edit Box, and in the IP edit box I type in 11.22.33.44
I then double click and highlight the 44 part, and type 6 to replace the 44 with a single 6, however the following is displayed
After clicking on OK this then changes to show the ip address as 11.22.33.255 It seems that clicking on 6 does not replace the 44 but gets inserted at the start of the element. Is there a workaround for this behaviour ?

Hello, Toby,
IP addresses consist of four groups each having three or lesser digits. The default mask used by the IPMaskTextBoxProvider is "###.###.###.###" and it cannot be changed. In case you are having an IP with lesser symbols, you directly type "." or navigate to the next group. Navigation can also be performed using the arrow keys.
If you would like to use a different mask I can suggest you setting the MaskType as Standard:
this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskType = Telerik.WinControls.UI.MaskType.Standard;
this.radMaskedEditBox1.Mask = "###.###.###.###";
this.radMaskedEditBox1.PromptChar = ' ';The achieved result is demonstrated in the following gif file:
I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for your response, I have tried it and this solution is considerably worse than using IP address mask.
a) I can no longer advance to the next element using . key if the element only has 1 or 2 digits,
b) I can type 999 as a element,
c) Starting off with 100.120.140.160 if I highlight 120 and enter 5, I get 100.514.016.0 !
d) I can enter - signs
Hello, Toby,
Indeed, you will be allowed to enter "999" as for the MaskType.Standard "#" means optional digit or space.
I have logged it in our feedback portal by creating a public thread on your behalf. You can track its progress, subscribe for status changes and add your comments on the following link - feedback item.
I have also updated your Telerik points.
Currently, due to the specificity of the issue, the possible solution that I can suggest is to use MaskType.Regex and specify the appropriate regular expression for the Mask property. The following StackOverflow thread offers suitable expressions for the IP validation:

I hope this information helps.
