  Hello,
  
  I’m trying to use regexp edit mask on ComboBox.
  
  I want to restrict use input to decimal only.
  
  Here’s what I have :

  
  cmb.MaskInfo.RegexpEditMask = "\D*[,]?\D*"
  cmb.MaskInfo.ShowLiterals = C1.Win.C1Input.ShowLiteralsEnum.WhenNextStarted
  

  That restricts well input but when putting a comma, it’s displayed at the end…
  
  

  NB : I cannot use datatype of ComboBox because translateValue is set to true (Combo is binded).

  How can I proceed?

  Hi,

  As per the developers, it is by design C1Input controls shown prompt chars for all part of the regexp mask.
  
  For example: @“[0-9][,]?[0-9]” - it’s 64 + 1 + 64 ‘’ chars, and when you enter ‘,’ then cursor moved to 65 position of them.
  
  For @“[0-9]{5}[,]?[0-9]{5}” - it’s 5+1+5 '’ chars.
  
  MaskInfo has ShowLiterals mode FreeFormatEntry without this limitation, when control don’t show ‘_’ chars.
  
  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  Regards.

  Hi,

  That’s not suitable for me as I do not want to show any letters.
  
  So I’ll handle this with the keypress event.

  Thanks
