Enhance Data Input Accuracy in WPF Apps

Enhance Data Input Accuracy in WPF Apps

Masked text boxes restrict user input to a predefined format, ensuring consistent and error-free information entry.

A masked text box is a data editor that requires the user to input data in a specific format. This control is particularly useful in forms where consistency and accuracy of data are critical, such as phone numbers or social security numbers. The mask ensures that the input conforms to a predefined pattern, reducing errors and streamlining data entry processes.

Several WPF data editor components provide masked input text boxes including:

• DevExpress WPF Data Editors (part of DevExpress WPF) provides text boxes with flexible data formatting and input validation.
• ComponentOne WPF Input and Editors (part of ComponentOne Studio WPF by MESCIUS) includes a masked input text box that supports various data types and formats.
• Infragistics Ultimate UI for WPF Data Editors (part of Infragistics Ultimate UI from WPF) simplifies data entry and enhances user experience.
• Telerik UI for WPF Data Editors (part of Telerik UI for WPF) offers a masked input text box with customizable formatting options.
• Actipro Editors for WPF delivers advanced masking capabilities and input validation.
