Mask Problem - Item.SetMask

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've noticed that if I load values from a database into the grid and the value isn't formated according to the MASK the grid will stay empty - Will not re-format the data - This is a big drawback, because if you have added many records to a database, say a phone number, and you later change the mask, whenever you display the "old" records the grid will simply not show anything... Am I missing something?
Item.SetMask sMask, sLiteral

	This feature has been included in version 9.0: Set Category = wndPropertyGrid.AddCategory("Masked") Set Item = Category.AddChildItem(PropertyItemString, "Phone", "Phone No: (800) 555-1212") Item.SetMask "Phone No: (000) 000-0000", "Phone No: (___) ___-____" 'Here you can now assign unformatted text and it will use the mask Item.MaskedText = 8004561232#
