PromptUnderline Property, SftMask Object

Defines whether input fields are underlined when the control has the input focus.

Syntax

Get

object

A SftMask object.

Boolean

Defines whether input fields are underlined when the control has the input focus.

Comments

The PromptUnderline property defines whether input fields are underlined when the control has the input focus.

Using PromptUnderline, input fields are easily recognized by users as all modifiable positions are underlined. Even positions where data has already been entered is underlined.

Input fields are underlined only while the control has the input focus. The PromptUnderlineNoFocus property can be used to define underlining when the control does not have the input focus.

When used with a simple edit control (without Mask), all text is underlined.
