  Hi
  I would like to create a textbox with mask for phone number like 7(9##)###-####. But when I use C1TextBox with Editmask ""7(900)000-0000" it shows "7(___)___-__-__" so it treats "9" not as I want. I would like the control to show "7(9__)___-__-__".
  Please, help.
  
  Best regards,
  Anna.

  Hi Anna,
  
  Since the '9' is a Mask character (Digit Placeholder [entry optional]) in the Edit Mask, you will need to escape it using the backslash '\' character to treat it like a literal in the Edit Mask string. Kindly refer to the attached sample showing the same.
  
  You can also refer to the link below to know more about the Edit Mask and Mask characters in C1TextBox
