MaskDisplayMode Property (UltraDateTimeEditor)

Gets/sets the mask that is applied to the text displayed by the control when the control does not have the input focus.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property MaskDisplayMode As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinMaskedEdit.MaskMode
public Infragistics.Win.UltraWinMaskedEdit.MaskMode MaskDisplayMode {get; set;}
Remarks

This property is used to determine how mask literals and prompt characters are displayed when the control is not in edit mode. Based on the setting of this property, the text of the control will contain no prompt characters or literals (just the raw data), the data and just the literals, the data and just the prompt characters, or all the text including both prompt characters and literals. The formatted spacing of partially masked values can be preserved by indicating to include literals with padding, which includes data and literal characters, but replaces prompt characters with pad characters (usually spaces).

Generally, prompt characters disappear when the control does not have the input focus, as a visual cue to the user. In some cases, however, it may be appropriate in your application to display mask literals as well as data when the control does not have the input focus.

Note: Since the MaskDisplayMode property could potentially conflict with the control's FormatString property, the MaskDisplayMode property is not applicable when the control's FormatString property is set to a non-empty string.

Example
This example sets the masking-related properties of the UltraDateTimeEditor, UltraNumericEditor, and UltraCurrencyEditor controls.
