title: Making Infragistics Winforms UltraMaskedEditor Behavior Less Weird
body: <p>I decided to replace my UltraTextEditors with UltraMaskedEditors to make things a little nicer for my users.  (In a WinForms App)  But the (default) behavior of the UltraMaskedEditor is quite different from what I've come to expect as standard textbox behavior.</p>
  
  <p>1) The first field on the form (the one that gets focus on load) now shows up with a huge number of spaces auto-selected.  (The UltraMaskedEditor.Value = dbnull)  Of course I can start to type and it will delete the spaces, so it works, but it looks really wierd.  (looks are a big deal for users)  I want it to simply show up with the cursor on the left and no spaces added or selected.</p>
  
  <p>2) If I click into any UltraMaskedEditor field it puts the cursor into the field at that possition--adding spaces to the left.  Again, the UltraMaskedEditor.value is empty before I clicked in.  When I click into an empty field I'd like the cursor to automatically go to the left most possition without inserting spaces.</p>
  
  <p>3) When I assign values to UltraMaskedEditor fields it displays them on the screen with what appears to be random numbers of spaces inserted.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to fix these characteristics so that the UltraMaksedEditor behaves like the TextEditor?</p>
