.NET MAUI MaskedEntry

Telerik UI for .NET MAUI MaskedEntry formats and restricts text inputs to predefined or defined patterns, and provides input validation and masks, such as text, Regex, IP, email, and numeric.

The MaskedEntry control for .NET MAUI allows you to define a string of characters that constrain user input. The Mask property may contain literals and special mask characters based on the used Mask Type. The control currently supports five separate masked entry controls which can handle different types of user input:

• Text: Used for handling all types of text user input.
• Numeric: Used for handling numeric user input. The Value property can be double or decimal.
• Regex: Used for handling and validating a standard (alphanumeric) user input against a regular expression. Provides errors if the regex is not matched.
• IP: Used for handling and validating an IP Address input.
• Email: Used for handling and validating an email input.

The .NET MAUI MaskedEntry control allows you to set a predefined value and return the user input without the formatting characters.
