MaskEdBox Optional Length 1

[btgroup]

Hi,

Is there a way to use the MaskEdBox control with a mask that allows for an optional length? For instance, I would like it so I can enter a value like A123 or a value like B45. The mask A### forces four characters and can only be used for A123.

Thanks in advance.

A mask of "&999" will allow A123 and B45. ">&999" will convert the first character to uppercase.

Thanks. I also needed to change the PromptInclude property to False. Otherwise, it keeps the PromptChar in the text and forces the mask length.
