Is it possible to create a input mask on a text box?
If a user enters a date like this 060103 I would like to see it
automatically converted to 06/01/03. In Access if you set a input mask to
99/99/00;0; when the cursor enters the cell you see __/__/__ . That is the
functionality I am trying to accomplish.
Can it be done?

Not out of the box with ASP.NET. You have to use client-
side script to achieve this functionality or use a third-
party control.

Set the Text property of the text box to "__/__/__"
Add a RegularExpressi onValidator to the form to get
validation. Use the expression "\d{1,2}/(\d{1,2}/\d{4}|\d{2})"
The automatic conversion is not readily available, though.
You'll have to add your own code for that.

I did some looking around and found a great component from a company called
Assisted Solutions. It has everything I was looking for and more.
Here is the URL if anyone else needs something like this: http://www.assistedsolutions.com
Click on Web Components and you will find it there.
Kudos to them for making this a free download!
My product, Peter's Date Package, includes a DateTextBox that specifically
reformats dates, including adding the slashes when omitted. (It has numerous
other features including a popup calendar.) Details are at http://www.peterblum.com/datecontrols/home.aspx.

In my application, a text box control resides in a form. The text box
control is unbound, but--assuming all edits are passed when the user
click a command button on the form--the contents of the text box
control end up in a field in a table with a data type of Date/Time.
Is it possible to set up a mask on this text box control such that if
one types any any of the following sequence of characters into the
text box
06/25/04
6/25/04

When I want the first character of a field to be Uppercased, I need to
make an input mask, like >L< followed by ??????? for example. But this
mask creates ____ in an unfilled field, which I don't like. How to get
the fist character uppercased without an input mask or without ____
(underscores).
When I click with the mouse on an empty field, it won't go to the far
left side, cause of the input mask. How to avoid it?

Morning All,
I'm trying to ensure that when the user enters a number on a form, the
database automatically leaves a space after the 3rd number. I've tried
to do this using input masks, but when I tab to the text box, the ___
_____ shows up and I can't enter anything at all.
Cheers

Is there a way to display what the expected format is before entering a
control.
For instance, if I have the input mask of 99/99/0000;0;#, it shows me
##/##/##, but only when I type the first character. Is there a way to
have that display before I type anything?

Hi everyone,
I have a page with a login box. Because of lack of space, instead of
labels I put the descriptive text in the input fields (so username input
says 'username', and password input says 'password').
The password field however, once it does have the focus, it should mask
its input. Now what I've done, and works in firefox, is
onfocus="this.type='password'; this.value='';". (Its a bit more complex
than that, but this is...

Hi,
I created a short date field. The format is dd/mm/yyyy when displayed.
The input mask is set to 99/99/00;0 (default, I didn't type anything).
If I edit an existing date, say change 12/14/2007 to 12/15/2007, I get
an error "the value you entered isn't appropriate for the input mask."
I have to delete the "20" in the year to get it accepted, and then it
puts the 20 right back. (I have the field set to required.)
I changed 99/99/00;0...
