CBCGPMaskEdit

Detailed Description

The CBCGPMaskEdit class extends the functionality of the Windows edit control. The masked edit control is able to validate typed characters against the specified mask and display them according to specified template . To use the CBCGPMaskEdit control in your application you have to perform the following steps:

• Add CBCGPMaskEdit member to your class.
• Call the EnableMask() member function to specify the mask.
• Call the SetValidChars() member function to specify the list of valid characters.
• Call the SetWindowText() member function to set the default text into the masked edit control.
