SelectAllBehavior Property

Specifies whether to select only the entered characters or all the characters (including prompt characters) when the editor performs the operation of select all text. The default value of the property is SelectAllCharacters.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property SelectAllBehavior As MaskSelectAllBehavior
public MaskSelectAllBehavior SelectAllBehavior {get; set;}
Remarks

When this property is set to SelectEnteredCharacters, the select-all-text operation will select text starting from the first entered character to the last entered character, including adjacent literals.

Example
The following code demonstrates how SelectAllBehavior property works. It prints out what gets selected when performing SelectAll operation with each SelectAllBehavior setting. Note that this also affects what gets selected when the user double clicks in the editor to select all the content. Note that the ClipMode is set to IncludeBoth so the SelectedText property (which we are using to find out what is selected) includes prompt and literal characters as well.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
    Me.maskedEditor1.Mask = "###-##-####"
    Me.maskedEditor1.Value = "111-22-"
    Me.maskedEditor1.ClipMode = MaskMode.IncludeBoth
    Me.maskedEditor1.StartEditMode()

    Me.maskedEditor1.SelectAllBehavior = MaskSelectAllBehavior.SelectAllCharacters
    Me.maskedEditor1.SelectAll()
    Debug.WriteLine("SelectedText with SelectAllCharacters = '" & Me.maskedEditor1.SelectedText & "'")

    Me.maskedEditor1.SelectAllBehavior = MaskSelectAllBehavior.SelectEnteredCharacters
    Me.maskedEditor1.SelectAll()
    Debug.WriteLine("SelectedText with SelectEnteredCharacters = '" & Me.maskedEditor1.SelectedText & "'")
End Sub
public void button1_Click( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e )
{
	this.maskedEditor1.Mask = "###-##-####";
	this.maskedEditor1.Value = "111-22-";
	this.maskedEditor1.ClipMode = MaskMode.IncludeBoth;
	this.maskedEditor1.StartEditMode( );

	this.maskedEditor1.SelectAllBehavior = MaskSelectAllBehavior.SelectAllCharacters;
	this.maskedEditor1.SelectAll( );
	Debug.WriteLine( "SelectedText with SelectAllCharacters = '" + this.maskedEditor1.SelectedText + "'" );

	this.maskedEditor1.SelectAllBehavior = MaskSelectAllBehavior.SelectEnteredCharacters;
	this.maskedEditor1.SelectAll( );
	Debug.WriteLine( "SelectedText with SelectEnteredCharacters = '" + this.maskedEditor1.SelectedText + "'" );
}
