Variable length in Xamarin Community Toolkit MaskedBehavior

291 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to use the Xamarin Community Toolkit MaskedBehavior in my app for phone extensions which can be 2, 3 or even up to 6 digits long.

It's easy to define the mask if it's a set length but how do I use it in this case where I want the user to enter only numeric values but the length can be anywhere from 2 to 6 digits?

<Entry
    Placeholder="Ext"
    Text="{Binding Extension}"
    Keyboard="Numeric">
    <Entry.Behaviors>
       <xct:MaskedBehavior
           Mask="X?????"/>
    </Entry.Behaviors>
</Entry>

Turns out, I don't have to do anything. When I set the mask as Mask="XXXXXX", it will accept any number of digits up to 6. It doesn't force the user to always enter six digits.
