Can you make a “separator” in ASP.net Textboxes? (C#)

Question

I was just curious if it's possible to put a "separator" (Not sure what you'd call it) in a textbox in ASP.net. For example, I want a textbox on my form to be a blank textbox with "blank:blank:blank" so they can just type the time, and another to be "blank/blank/blank" for the date, and so on. I've tried googling it for a bit but didn't find what I was looking for, probably because I'm calling it a seperator, and I'm not sure how accurate that is. I was hoping it could be done that way, but if there's another way, I'm using C#. Let me know if I explained that right at all or if you can recommend anything. As before, I appreciate the help from this community!

Answer 1

Probably should start with checking out if an input mask meets your needs. The AJAX Control Toolkit might be a good place to start when looking at easy to use controls. Check out their MaskedEdit control at: http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSampleSite/

Use the MaskedEdit control in ASP.NET (from the AJAX Control Toolkit ), should do exactly what you want.
