PromptChar Property (UltraDateTimeEditor)

Gets/sets the prompt character. The default prompt character is the underscore (_).
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property PromptChar As Char
public char PromptChar {get; set;}
Remarks

Note: Because the control requires a prompt character to indicate unpopulated mask positions, the PromptChar property cannot be set to the null character ('\x00'). If the property is set to the null character, the value will be changed to the space character ('\x32') instead.

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