Comments

The PromptUnderlineNoFocus property defines whether input fields are underlined when the control does not have the input focus.

Using PromptUnderlineNoFocus, 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 does not have the input focus. The PromptUnderline property can be used to define underlining when the control has the input focus.

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