    In This Topic

    The following example demonstrates how to use numeric ranges to represent a masked text box for editing an IP address. This example uses the C1InputMask control with the custom mask: 000\.000\.000\.000.

    To create an IP address mask using the Tasks menu:

    To display the IP address value with specific text, complete the following tasks:

    1. Open the C1InputMask Tasks menu and click the MaskFormat property's ellipsis button to open the Input Mask dialog box.
    2. Enter the following mask in the Mask text box: 000\.000\.000\.000

      Note that the Designer automatically switches to <Custom> when you start typing the mask (if the typed mask is not found in list of masks).
    3. Click OK.
    4. With the Tasks menu still open, enter 192168001001 in the Text text box.

    <cc1:C1InputMask ID="C1InputMask1" runat="server" Mask="000\.000\.000\.000" 
            Text="192168001001 ">
        </cc1:C1InputMask>

    Note: One character "<" or ">" forces the next characters to shift down or shift up instructions. Character "." without "\" acts as a decimal placeholder and actual display characters used will be the decimal placeholder appropriate to the value of the Culture property.

    This topic illustrates the following:

    Run the project and notice that the IP address mask with the 192168001001 text is displayed in the Web browser, as shown here:
