    Resolved MaskEdit Box [Resolved]

    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.

    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.

    No its not worked either.

    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.

    Re: MaskEdit Box

    you can clear it by replacing all the sharps into underscores

    Code:
     MaskedEdit.text = "__/__/____".
