    copied!<p>I am trying to use a masked edit extender for a text box that is to display time zone offset, in the form of 05:00 or -05:00, for example. The following is what I used and it initially displays the mask and allows me to enter either of the above. But when I leave the textbox, it removed the colon and I get invalid format error. What am I missing here? (I changed the MaskType from Number to None hoping it would not drop : but it does).</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="tbTZOffset" CssClass="NormalSmall" Text="" /&gt; &lt;ajaxToolkit:MaskedEditExtender runat="server" ID="meeTZO" TargetControlID="tbTZOffset" Mask="99:99" MessageValidatorTip="false" MaskType="None" InputDirection="LeftToRight" AcceptNegative="Left" ErrorTooltipEnabled="True"/&gt; &lt;ajaxToolkit:MaskedEditValidator runat="server" ID="mevTZO" ControlExtender="mevTZO" ControlToValidate="tbTZOffset" IsValidEmpty="False" EmptyValueMessage="Time Zone Offset is required" InvalidValueMessage="Time Zone Offset is invalid (must be in [-]hh:mm format)" EmptyValueBlurredText="*" Display="none" ValidationExpression="\b[-]?\d{2}:\d{2}\b" TooltipMessage="Time Zone Offset in [-]hh:mm format" ValidationGroup="vgConfig"/&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Added info:</strong></p> <p>I downloaded the newest version of Ajax Control Toolkit for .Net 3.5 (July 2013 version) ; apparently there was a bug in previous versions.</p> <p>I can set MaskType="Number", Mask="NNNNNN" and Filtered="-:", enough characters to allow for 4 digits, negative sign and colon. This seems to allow me to enter both 05:00 and -05:00 but if I enter 05:00, it leaves one space at the end to be filled (i.e. keeps showing the last undercsore like 00:05_ ). It also allows me to enter 05:008.</p> <p>If I change the mask type back to "None", I lose the ability to enter negative numbers again.</p> <p>I have run out of ideas and am ready to just forget about this control. I am not sure if these developers do any kind of testing before releasing their "product".</p>
