Setting the Value

The Value property determines the currently visible text. By default the C1MaskedTextBox control starts with its Value not set but you can customize this at design time in Microsoft Expression Blend, in XAML, and in code.

At Design Time in Blend

To set the Value property in Blend, complete the following steps:

1.   Click the C1MaskedTextBox control once to select it.

2.   Navigate to the Properties tab and enter a number, for example "123", in the text box next to the Value property.

This will set the Value property to the number you chose.

In XAML

To set the Value property add Value="123" to the <c1:C1MaskedTextBox> tag so that it appears similar to the following:

<c1:C1MaskedTextBox Height="23" Width="120" Name="C1MaskedTextBox1" Value="123"></c1:C1MaskedTextBox>

In Code

To set the Value property, add the following code to your project:

•      Visual Basic

•      C#

Run your project and observe:

Initially 123 (or the number you chose) will appear in the control.
