SftMask/DLL 7.0 - Masked Edit Control

SftMask/DLL Wizard

During the installation of SftMask/DLL, an icon for the application "Wizard" is installed in the program group SftMask DLL 7.0.

This application can be used to generate most of the source code needed to create and initialize a masked edit control in a dialog or a window. It honors most SftMask/DLL attributes and should be used at design-time to build the necessary masked edit control initialization code.

The SftMask/DLL Wizard application is used to design a masked edit control. All control attributes - the edit mask, edit styles, caption, label, validation, calendar, calculator, autocomplete and colors - can be manipulated in the Wizard. You design the desired control on the design tabs (on the right hand side) and immediately see it reflected in the sample masked edit control (on the left side), which is fully interactive so data entry can be tested immediately. The Quick Setup tab offers predefined control styles (ZIP code, phone number, date, time, currency, IP address, password, path entry and more) as a starting point. Once the desired control has been achieved, the run-time source code used to create and initialize the masked edit control can be generated for C and C++/MFC by clicking on the corresponding tab. The generated source code contains step by step instructions on how to incorporate it into an application.
