SFTMASK_INPUT Constants

Values for the iInputMode field on SFTMASK_CONTROL, defining the control's insert/overtype mode behavior (see Insert/Overtype Mode).

SFTMASK_INPUTINSERTONLY (0)The control always uses insert mode. The Insert key has no effect. Default.
SFTMASK_INPUTINSERT (1)The control starts in insert mode. The Insert key toggles the mode; the mode persists for this control.
SFTMASK_INPUTOVERTYPE (2)The control starts in overtype mode. The Insert key toggles the mode; the mode persists for this control.
SFTMASK_INPUTINSERTENTRY (3)The control uses insert mode every time it receives the input focus. The Insert key toggles the mode for the current entry only.
SFTMASK_INPUTOVERTYPEENTRY (4)The control uses overtype mode every time it receives the input focus. The Insert key toggles the mode for the current entry only.
SFTMASK_INPUTINSERTAPPGLOBAL (5)The insert/overtype mode is shared by all masked edit controls of the application which use this setting. The Insert key toggles the shared mode.

The current mode is reported to the application through the NM_SFTMASK_INPUTMODEUPDATE notification. The fInsert field reflects and sets the current mode.
