MaskedEdit Email MaskType - How to detect invalid value in code

Hi, can you provide the code in vb?

Thank you.

This is pretty old, has a better solution been designed?   

I am using 2019.3.1022.40

Thanks

Hello, Mark,

Handling the Validating event is pretty straight-forward.

It is still the appropriate way for validating the input in RadMaskedEditBox.

Are you experiencing any difficulties with this approach?

What I am looking for, is to see if RadMaskedEditBox data is valid, but I need to do this check in a button's click event.  I was hoping that the RadMaskedEditBox has a property or method that could be called, to see if validation passed or failed.  I could not find such method or property. I am a little confused by that, as there are visual cues to show if the RadMaskedEditBox text is not valid based on the mask type.

So, my solution was, in my button's click event, was to do something similar what Stefan posted back in 2011 and 2015. This seems to be working, but not as efficient as I think it can be done.  Also, I am not sure what improvements in behavior have happened since 2011, where Stefan mentioned that they were being worked on. I have seen no updates to this thread and the help documentation is very vague with how to us validation in this manner as well. 

Thanks

Hello, Mark,

As the Stefan's post described,  RadMaskedEditBoxElement offers the Validate method which expects some text to be validated as an input parameter. However, it doesn't return a boolean value indicating whether the input is valid or not. That is why it is convenient to use the Provider.Validate method as it is demonstrated below: 

bool isValid = this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.Provider.Validate(this.radMaskedEditBox1.Text);

Thus, you can determine whether the input is correct or not calling this method in a button's Click event handler.

I hope this information helps.
