well, during writing an example for you, i found that it is not as 
difficult as i thought it would be... you just have a mask, e.g.
"__/__/____" and every keypress you search for the next "_" char and 
replace it with the key.code, the only thing you have to notice is that 
you have to take care of moving the textbox1.pos value for a better 
looking, which is done in my example too ;)
but there are still some improvements neccessary:
*copy, paste of a value
*the end of the mask is reached
*the backspace key!
in case of a date: *check the input, e.g. days can't be > 31

regards, tobi
