When I try to assign text to the masked edit control, nothing appears. Yet when I refer to the text property, the text is there.

MaskBox1.Mask="##/##/##"
MaskBox1.Text = "11/11/11"
' the masked box blanks out


Textbox1.text=MaskBox1.text
' the result is 11/11/11

I know the text property is black, because I can type in the masked edit box and see what I type

Any ideas?
