masked edit textbox ?

is there a way to clear the previous contents
of this control?

along the same lines as with a textbox:

Code:

---

text1.text = vbnullstring

---

Do you mean:

Code:

---

Text1.Text = ""

---

???

MaskEdBox1.Text = ""

is this what u wanted?

Try this:

Dim Temp As String
Temp = MaskEd.Mask
MaskEd.Mask = ""
MaskEd.Text = ""
MaskEd.Mask = Temp

I use that a lot for mask edit boxes.

Or you could use a custom written control.

what exactly do you want to do?

Code:

---

'let's say we have 4 maskedboxes using currency masks
'we can clear them this way.

Public Sub ClearAllMskEdits()

    For intIncrement = 0 To Forms.Count - 1
      For Each ctlMyControl In Forms(intIncrement).Controls
'
    If TypeOf ctlMyControl Is MaskEdBox Then
'set the mask to nothing and then set the text to nothing
            ctlMyControl.Mask = ""
            ctlMyControl.Text = ""
'After clearing, you need to reset the mask to whatever it was
'for this example I will say it is ###.00
            ctlMyControl.Mask = "###.00"
'
  End If
'
        Next ctlMyControl
'
            Next intIncrement
'
End Sub
