TIWEdit format mask

[troberts]

Hum... possibly it won't do what you expect.

If you use a pattern like this:

\d{5}-\d{5}-\d{5}-\d{5}

It will validate the entry exactly the way you want before submitting it to the server, and it will show a message to the user if the data doesn't comply.

However, it won't apply a mask to the input. The user is basically free to enter anything they want.

If you want to limit the input using a mask, you likely need to use something else.

Let me see if I can get a simple demo on how to do it.

Thanks for your response Alexandre. Look forward to hearing more if you have time.
