FriendFeedMasked Edit Control (3)
Posted
by Jeff Knight
on October 28th, 1998
We had been using the MSMask.ocx control in our MFC application for almost a year. Recently a 200K memory leak was traced to the setText method (200K each time it was called), so we downloaded another masked edit class from the web, but it flickered intensely and the code was kind of icky. Anyway, I decided to write my own. Turns out it works better than I could have hoped. It's easy to use and the source code very simple allowing anyone to extend it as necessary.
In ::OnInitDialog()
m_maskEdit.SubclassDlgItem(IDC_EDIT_MASK, this);
// Initialize the control to "State: KS, Zip: 66202-1234"
m_maskEdit.setMask("State: ??, Zip: #####-####");
m_maskEdit.setText("KS662021234");
In ::OnOk()
// getText returns "KS66202123" CString strTemp = m_maskEdit.getText(); // GetWindowText yields "State: KS, Zip: 66202-1234" m_maskEdit.GetWindowText(strTemp);

Kleiner Bug ?
Posted by mobo2000 on 01/26/2005 03:39amI have tested a simple example "##,##". When I insert a ',' as the 4. character then this character will be discard, but the insertion point of edit control goes to next character. I think, this ist not a good way. I havn't test other examples. Could be this behaviour is the default for your edit control.

After trying the demo I noticed that if you paste text into the edit control, only the last character of pasted text is actually displayed.

When the selection is hilighted and the user hit the delete key, the whole thing should be deleted.

After trying the demo application that you included, I wanted to share wth you my comments:
1. If the user clicks a key which is not compatible with the current character of the mask, the cursor is moved to the next cell. I believe the cursor should not be moved in this case. I would recommend also that a virtual function should be added with to handle such invalid keys.
2. In the example you have the first token is a constant, thus when the user clicks a key the cursor moves to the first editable character and then the second key is written there! I believe the first key should be written.
Thanks.
