Any recommendation on how to handle formatted input when editing a cell? Unfortunately, ‘maskedinput’ isn’t an option for the columntype parameter. I would like to support entering a phone number in the format “aaa-eee-nnnn”, which is pretty straight forward with jqxMaskedInput. It would also be good for US 9-digit Zipcodes, which are in the format NNNNN-AAAA.
None of the available options (number, datetimeinput, textbox, etc) appear to be able to be tricked into handling any kind of formatted input. And judging from the forum posts, people have been asking for masked input support since 2012.
Incidentally, on the page http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-documentation, there’s no sub-tab regarding editing. It’s covered on the demos page, but not in the actual documentation section.
