Problem in setting the text in MaskEDBox

[anonymous]

Hi,
Iam using MaskEdBox in a VB6.0 project. Having problem setting the text retrieved from the database.
I tried the following

sTmp = txtDate.Mask
txtDate.Mask = ""
txtDate.Text = CStr(otemp.dDate)
txtDate.Mask = sTmp

When I execute , it displays "__/__/____" even though the date value is not empty.

Please help..

Thanks..

Maybe try this?...


txtDate.Text = Format(otemp.dDate, "mm/dd/yyyy")

sk = MaskEdBox1.Mask
MaskEdBox1.Mask = ""
MaskEdBox1.Text = Format(your record, "dd/mm/yyyy")
MaskEdBox1.Mask = sk

it should work

I don't think you need to do anything with the Mask property... if you pass the Text property a correctly-formatted string, it shouldn't give you any error. The error gets raised as a form of auto-validation.

Thanks for all the reply...
Yes you are right...I did not change the mask just formatted the string and assigned to the Text property.

Thanks again for the help.

hai! I understood ur problem. U r converting the retrieved value into a string and then placing into the masked edit text box. U r specifying the masked control to accept only date values that to in the specified format. so that is not possible to insert a string. Send me ur complete code. I will make the corrections and resend u

Hope this may be helpful to u.
