27 Apr 20241 minute to read

By default, on focusing the MaskedTextBox, alphanumeric keypad will be displayed on mobile devices. Sometimes only numeric keypad for number values is needed, and this can be achieved by setting “type” property to tel.
Refer to the following example to enable numeric keypad in MaskedTextBox.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { MaskedTextBoxModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs'



import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
imports: [
         MaskedTextBoxModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    // sets mask format to the MaskedTextBox
    template: `
            <div class="col-sm-6">
                <br/><ejs-maskedtextbox #mask="" mask='999-99999' value= "342-45432" name="mask_value" type="tel"></ejs-maskedtextbox>
            </div>
    `
})

export class AppComponent {
}

main.ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
