I have a masked edit box which has a value of "8/30/2004", and when i
programically set the value to mskedbox1=date, the vb blows up with an
invalid property value error. any ideas? It works ok if i set
mskedbox1="08/30/2004", but I can't seem to get the date value into the box.
I've even tried using format(date,"Sh ort Date") to no avail. Format and
mask properties of the box are set to ##/##/####

Don't set the Format property (only set the Mask property) and assign
the Date this way...
mskedbox1.Text = Format$(Date, "mm/dd/yyyy")
Note that I specify the Text property rather than assume VB will apply
it as the default property. Do so will make reading your code much
easier six months to a year from now when you (or, if you are working in
a company, the person assigned to the task) have to modify your code. As
for the form of the Format function's specification string... it much
match the format of the Mask property character for character (that
means leading zeroes must be preserved).

Thanks. That worked.

Hi,
I need to use a Masked Edit Control in my ASPX page. In VS.Net, I added the
reference to MSMask.dll for my application & also added the MaskEdBox to the
Toolbox.
After adding the control to the web form, when I select the control & see
its properties, I do not see the "Text" property. I also try to set the
"Text" property in a javascript function, but cannot access it.
Here is the code:

Anybody could give me hint how use this control in asp.net web form.
The problem is:
I try to use COM component in my web form app by using MS training kit for
windows form application. I would like to do the similar thing.
The guide asks me to add Masked Edit Control to the Toolbox by adding
Microsoft Masked Edit Control and I did it. However, there is no Mask
property of this edit control box. Another is how declare this control.

Hi all,
I can't clear a Masked edit control. I use it to input dates, so I have
defined the mask as "##/##/####". I use the the well known
meb.mask=""
meb.text="" ,
but nothing happens.
Does anybody have a clue, why these lines don' t work? I use vb.net 2002
Thank u

Curently I manualy code keypress edits. i.e. allow only 3 digits before
decimal and two digits after decimal in .NET.
Is there an easy solution to mask text boxes?
The MSMASK32.OCX from vb6 does not seem to be appropriate for a desktop
application with textboxes not bound to a dataset, am I wrong?

When I use the masked edit box, I can tab to it and the cursor will go to the start of the box.
However if I click on it the cursor goes to wherever I clicked.
How can I make a click go to start position one

I have unformatted text in my SQL 2005 database. I'm pulling it into a masked edit text box with a (999)999-9999 mask. Unfortunately, when I attempt to save the data back it doesn't work because I don't know how to get the 'masked' information back to the 'unmasked' raw data that the database wants.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
