Literal characters in MaskEdit cell

[Lori S. Pearsall]

Is there a way to specify that the literal characters in a mask shouldn''t be dislayed if the cell has no value?

Thanks as always!

One way you can try do this would be to handle PrepareviewStyleInfo. If e.Style>CellType is MaskEdit and e.Style.Text is empty, you could set e.Style.MaskEdit.Mask = "". (Or you could change e.Style.CellType = "TextBox" or something.) You also may want to check if the e.RowIndex and e.ColIndex point to teh current cell or not. In that case, you would not want to make any changes so the user would see the mask when it is the current cell.
