| Masked Edit Control - Keys |
|---|
| + - * / | These characters will invoke the popup calculator if entered in a numeric field which defines a popup calculator. |
| Alt+Down Arrow | If the caret location is in a date field and the control has a calendar drop down button (see the iEditStyle field), the popup calendar is made visible. If autocomplete entries are available for display, the autocomplete window is displayed. |
| Backspace | Deletes the current selection (if any) and moves the caret location one position to the left. |
| Control+A | The entire contents are selected. |
| Control+C | The currently selected text is copied to the clipboard. |
| Control+End | Moves the caret location to the last position. |
| Control+Left Arrow | Moves the caret location to the left, stopping after the next encountered group of literals. |
| Control+Right Arrow | Moves the caret location to the right, stopping after the next encountered group of literals. |
| Control+U | The last action is undone. |
| Down Arrow | If the caret location is in a numeric input field and the control has up/down buttons, the field value is decremented and/or the NM_SFTMASK_UPDOWNPRESS and NM_SFTMASK_UPDOWNHANDLED notifications are sent. If autocomplete entries are available for display, the list of autocomplete entries is displayed (auto_iMode = SFTMASK_AUTOCOMPLETE_SUGGEST or SFTMASK_AUTOCOMPLETE_SUGGESTAPPEND) or the first matching saved entry is used to complete the current input (auto_iMode = SFTMASK_AUTOCOMPLETE_APPEND). Otherwise the down arrow key acts like the right arrow key. |
| End | Moves the caret location beyond the last position where data can be entered. |
| F4 | The F4 key is only used if the fAllowF4 field is set to TRUE. If the caret location is in a date field and the control has a calendar drop down button (see the iEditStyle field), the popup calendar is made visible. If a popup calendar or the autocomplete window is active, it is closed. |
| Home | Moves the caret location to the first position where data can be entered. |
| Insert | Toggles between insert and overtype mode (based on the iInputMode field) |
| Left Arrow | Moves the caret location one position to the left. |

| Shift+Insert | |
| Control+V | The contents of the clipboard are copied into the control at the caret location, replacing the current selection (if any). |
| Shift+Tab | The Tab key can only be used if the fTabAdvance field is set to TRUE, in which case Shift+Tab is equivalent to Control+Left arrow. If the caret location is at the first position, the dialog manager handles the key, which usually results in the previous control on the dialog receiving the input focus. If fTabAdvance is set to FALSE, the masked edit control does not handle the Tab key. |
| Tab | The Tab key can only be used if the fTabAdvance field is set to TRUE, in which case the Tab key is equivalent to Control+Right arrow. If the caret location is at the last position, the dialog manager handles the key, which usually results in the next control on the dialog receiving the input focus. If fTabAdvance is set to FALSE, the masked edit control does not handle the Tab key. |
| Typed Characters | These are processed as defined by the edit mask. If a character is typed that is not allowable, the NM_SFTMASK_VALIDATIONERROR notification is sent. |
| Up Arrow | If the caret location is in a numeric input field and the control has up/down buttons, the field value is incremented and/or the NM_SFTMASK_UPDOWNPRESS and NM_SFTMASK_UPDOWNHANDLED notifications are sent. If autocomplete entries are available for display, the list of autocomplete entries is displayed (auto_iMode = SFTMASK_AUTOCOMPLETE_SUGGEST or SFTMASK_AUTOCOMPLETE_SUGGESTAPPEND) or the last matching saved entry is used to complete the current input (auto_iMode = SFTMASK_AUTOCOMPLETE_APPEND). |

If the left mouse button is pressed on the portion of the text that is selected, a drag operation can be started (based on the iDragMode field). When double-clicking on the text of the masked edit control, the selection is extended, stopping at the next literal or blank in either direction. When double-clicking on the text of the masked edit control and autocomplete entries are available for display, the list of autocomplete entries is displayed (auto_iMode = SFTMASK_AUTOCOMPLETE_SUGGEST or SFTMASK_AUTOCOMPLETE_SUGGESTAPPEND). |
| Right Mouse Button | Using the right mouse button, a popup menu is displayed allowing the user to select cut/paste and undo operations. |
| Mouse Movement | If the masked edit control does not have the input focus and the mouse cursor is moved into the masked edit control, the editable text is displayed (replacing the formatted field values and replacing any text that is defined using the lpszFormattedText field). Once the mouse cursor leaves the masked edit control, the formatted text is restored. If the masked edit control has the input focus, mouse movement has no noticeable effect (other than the modification of the mouse pointer displayed). |
