# MaskedTextStepper<T> class

Namespace: [Eto.Forms](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/namespace/eto.forms.md) · Assembly: [Eto](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/assembly/eto.md)

```cs
public class MaskedTextStepper<T> : MaskedTextStepper
```

**Type parameters:**

- `T`

**Derived types:** [DateTimeMaskedTextStepper](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.datetimemaskedtextstepper.md), [NumericMaskedTextStepper<T>](https://eto.picoe.ca/api/type/eto.forms.numericmaskedtextstepper-1.md)
