Comments

The TextDisplayNoLiterals property returns the interpreted control contents, without literal characters.

When retrieving the TextDisplayNoLiterals property in a Masked Edit control (with Mask), input positions without data are represented by the space character.

Literal characters are never returned.

It is possible to retrieve portions of the control contents using the Contents.Value property.

The properties Text, TextDisplay, TextDisplayWithLiterals, TextPureWithLiterals and TextPureNoLiterals also retrieve the control contents with varying handling of unspecified input positions and literal characters.
