in the mask property

"HH:mm"

is for military time

the other is

"hh:mm"

the MM like in "dd/MM/yyyy" is used for months

to get the __ you need to set _ as the promptchar

I created the InputMask from the dialog box. That was set to Time(European/Military)"00:00" and shows like __:__

My problem is user shouldn't enter a time value other than 24hr time format. He can enter 65:45 or something like that.

are you using vb2005?

setting the mask to 00:00 won't work since that will allow everything from 0 to 9.

Yes it is vb2005. This mask was prompted to me by the dialog.


Ok found it

    Private Sub frmMaster_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        
        Me.MaskedTextBox1.Mask = "00:00"
        Me.MaskedTextBox1.ValidatingType = GetType(System.DateTime)
        Me.ToolTip1.IsBalloon = True
       
    End Sub

    Private Sub MaskedTextBox1_TypeValidationCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As TypeValidationEventArgs) Handles MaskedTextBox1.TypeValidationCompleted

        If Not IsDate(Me.MaskedTextBox1.Text) = True Then
            Me.ToolTip1.ToolTipTitle = "Invalid Time"
            Me.ToolTip1.Show("The data you supplied must be a valid time in the format between 00:00 to 23:59", Me.MaskedTextBox1, 0, -20, 1000)
        End If

    End Sub
