Speaking of which. Why not make the control prepared for boost::regex? These masks are often insufficient. Regex ftw!]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2006 12:19:43 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5576&PID=17709&title=cxtmaskeditt-not-virtual-enough#17709 <![CDATA[CXTMaskEditT not virtual enough : I would also like to see tyhe...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5576&PID=17537&title=cxtmaskeditt-not-virtual-enough#17537 Author: Simon HB9DRV

I would also like to see tyhe following behaviour:

If I define a mask as Address: 000.000.000.000 then when I press . the cursor should move to nect char after the next . (if any), optionally filling in the char(s) over which I have skipped with the default value(s).

There are some big problems with the handling of new characters and such in CXTMaskEditT and there isn't enough control to fix them. Without going into great detail, I'm writing a control to handle date/time. If the user has a full date, and hits delete enough times to kill the month abbreviation, everything stays in place. Typing in a new month after this however pushes the year and time off the edge giving something like "22 Nov ___2 00:61 __". Obviously this is bad.
 
Also, I want to be able to auto complete certain things, for example, if they are on the month and hit 'O', I should be able to determine that the month is 'Oct'. Or if the user in on the day and they hit 5, I should know that this must be the entire day. If I could just override the SetMaskedText function that would almost do it, but it is not virtual. I think that this and quite a number of other functions in this class really ought to be virtual.
