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

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:

1 2 3 4 |
MaskDataType l_mdt em_1.SetMask(DateMask!, 'mm/dd/yy') l_mdt = em_1.MaskDataType |
