Textbox

[Franglais]

I have a textbox that I would like to have a ":" displayed ready to accept 4 numbers. It is to display the time of a MPG video.

Ideally, what I would like is as the user types "02" a colon is then displayed so the user then only has to enter two more numbers, "25" for example, leaving "02:25" in the textbax. Is this possible? I want to use the same idea for the date. I do not need to use the data contained in the textbox for calculations.

so what you want is a textbox sitting there with a mask of "##:##" right? i dont know how the maskededit box is in .net, but perhaps someone here is... mzim? neal?

The .NET Framework V1.X doesn't have a built in maskedTextBox (the .NET Framework V2 does however).

You can subClass the textbox and build in that functionality. There are several examples on the net. Here's one: FlexMaskEditBox - a masked edit control

Thanks Paszt, I had a look at this last night.
