[Gambas-user] New MaskBox control

[Benoît Minisini]

Hi,

As an intermediate goal before rewriting the ValueBox control, I have 
implemented a MaskBox control, that is a TextBox with a mask.

How does it work ?

By setting the mask property, you define which characters are non-editable 
separators, and which characters can be entered by the user

At the moment, the following mask characters are implemented:

'9' : any digit.
'0' : any digit, with '0' as default
'6' : any hexdecimal character
'A' : any letter ('A'-'Z' and 'a'-'z')
'?' : any character.

Every other character is a separator. If you want to use a mask character as 
separator, use the '\' escape character.

Examples:

	To enter a date, set Mask to "00/00/0000".
	To enter an IP address,set Mask to "999.999.999.999"
	To enter a french currency, set Mask to "999 999 990,00 €"

Make remarks and enjoy it!

Regards,
