How do you clear the contents of a maskedit text box ? This particular box has its mask property set to "##/##/####". It also has the format property set to "mm/dd/yyyy".
Now I need to clear the box. If I use a mskbox.text = "" then it gives me an invalid property value error message.

How aboutVB Code:
Have tried that option already. Also tried = vbNull.
Those haven't worked. I also experimented with the includeliterals property of the control. That is not making a difference either.
They should have included a clear text method.
The only way I think it might be done is unset the format and the mask. Clear it and then reset the format.
I have very little experience with this control, however, what you said sounds like a logical approach. If this does work, let us know as someone else may have a similar question in the future.Quote:

I have to make this change across 18 forms and deliver the code by Tuesday. So I was looking for a short-cut. I hope I am able to complete it on Monday.
you can clear it by replacing all the sharps into underscores
Code:MaskedEdit.text = "__/__/____".
:thumb: Yup. That works like a charm
