Hi Chris,
I was looking for a masked editbox on the web when I chance upon your
entry. Would it be possible for you to email me your control too?
Thanks in advance.

Dylan.

A simple way to add basic masked-edit features to your CF controls is to
edit the
keypress and keydown events to enforce the rules you want. For example,
let's
say we have a textbox called txtZipCode where we want to enforce that only
numeric
characters may be entered. You can do this:

_private bool _nonNumberEntered;

private void txtZipCode_KeyPress(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (_nonNumberEntered == true)
e.Handled = true;
}

private void txtZipCode_KeyDown(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
_nonNumberEntered = false;

if (e.KeyCode < Keys.D0 || e.KeyCode > Keys.D9)
if (e.KeyCode < Keys.NumPad0 || e.KeyCode > Keys.NumPad9)
if(e.KeyCode != Keys.Back)
_nonNumberEntered = true;
}
