Each character position in the component maps to either a special placeholder or a literal character. Literal characters, or literals, can give visual cues about the type of data being used. For example, the parenthesis surrounding the area code of a telephone number and dashes are literals: (412)-123-2222. The edit mask prevents the user from entering invalid characters into the component and provides other enhancements to the user interface.</p><br> <img border="0" alt="Description: C:\MyFiles\D2H2008Projects\WinForms\WinForms_C1InputPanel\Documents\Graphics\inputtextbox.png" src="ImagesExt/image11_58.png" width="100" height="22"> <p>The InputMaskedTextBox is similar to the standard <b>MaskedTextBox</b> and is almost identical to <b>ComponentOne's WebInput for ASP.NET C1WebMaskEdit</b> control except for the following unique members:</p> <ul> <li> <div class="C1HBullet"> <a href="C1.Win.C1InputPanel.4~C1.Win.C1InputPanel.InputComponent~Break.html">InputComponent.Break</a> </div> </li> <li> <div class="C1HBullet"> <a href="C1.Win.C1InputPanel.4~C1.Win.C1InputPanel.InputComponent~BoundValueChanged_EV.html">InputComponent.BoundValueChanged</a> </div> </li> </ul> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright © <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
