Hi,

CXTMaskEdit is indeed useful, but most of the time I find the filtering options inadequate. The obvious evolution of such a control is filtering using Regular Expressions. Implementing this should be quite straight-forward since a regex engine is already part of C++0x. That is, using Boost (http://www.boost.org) you get all what you need.
 
Of course, any dependencies on the Boost library are not desirable until it is indeed incorporated into C++, so a good solution would be something like this:
 
#ifdef XTP_USE_BOOSTLIB
class CXTPRegexEdit
{
    ...
    BOOL SetExpression(LPCTSTR szRegex);
};
#endif
 
Have a look at http://www.codeproject.com/editctrl/FilterEdit.asp for inspiration.
 
I really think such a control has potential.
