Re: Important change in MaskBox control

[Florian Brunke <taitetao@xxxxxx>]

Hi Claus,

I did receive your message, apparently from the mailing list.

But mind: About 80% of your mails for some reason are sent to spam in my 
mailbox. Maybe the same happens in your own mailbox even with your own 
mails?!?

As I know this, I lately checked the spam-folder regularly for your 
mails ;-) ;-D


I just got the OBS update... Benoît's latest changes work perfectly!!! 
Yessss...

Thanks a lot!!!

By the way, @Benoît, to fix the first two digits of the year, your 
suggested mask, "00.00.[2][0]00" only partly works. You are only able to 
insert the desired digits but you still HAVE TO enter them...

The solution is the following mask:

"00.00.\2\000"

;-)


Best regards,

Florian
