characters used to define the mask differ depending on the datatype
of the mask control.

To select the mask datatype:
-
Select the desired type from the Type drop-down
list box in the Options group on the Mask tab.The examples of special characters displayed in the Masks
field change to show the characters relevant to the selected mask
datatype.

The MaskDataType property takes a value of the MaskDataType
enumerated datatype and can be used to obtain the datatype of a
mask. It cannot be used to set the datatype.
The following example uses the SetMask function
to set the datatype and date format for a mask, and then uses the
Mask property to obtain the value of the date format:

MaskDataType l_mdt<br> <br>em_1.SetMask(DateMask!, 'mm/dd/yy')<br>l_mdt = em_1.MaskDataType |
