SftMask/DLL 7.0 - Masked Edit Control

Calculator Sample (C)

This sample illustrates currency amount input with the dropdown calculator in a dialog. It covers registering the masked edit window class, placing a control from a dialog resource, configuring the currency mask ($C-,8.2) with the locale currency symbol as a label, and dark mode support.

The source code is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Softelvdm\SftMask DLL 7.0\Samples\C\Calculator\Calculator.c or C:\Program Files\Softelvdm\SftMask DLL 7.0\Samples\C\Calculator\Calculator.c (on 32-bit Windows versions).
