A developer asked on the forums why there wasn’t a Krypton version of the MaskedTextBox control when there was a Kryptonized TextBox and RichTextBox available in the CTP. Quite rightly they pointed out that it looked like hardly any extra work as I already had the other two in place. Well the answer is simple. I clean forgot there was a masked control in Win32. This omission has now been corrected. Here is the KryptonMaskedTextBox…
![]()

If we switch the InputControlStyle to be Ribbon and set the AlwaysActive property to False then we get the following appearance instead…
![]()

As with the other input controls you can add ButtonSpec definitions so that extra buttons are added inside the border…
![]()

The button specs could be really handy for setting common values. You could have a button that is used to set the date to something appropriate such as ‘today’. Another might be used clear the current value and a last one that brings up some help page information.
I have added support for adding the KryptonMaskedTextBox inside the KryptonRibbon as well…
![]()

Thanks for adding the MaskedTextBox control. As usual, you make Krypton Suite follow the customer’s expectations. Your Blog is just great, your forum always active, … a real pleasure for all Krypton interested folk…
Thanks again !
N.B.: any idea on when the next CTP (or full) release will be available ?
