TStringCellEditor.EditText property
Value entered in the control and obscured / formatted using the EditMask.
Declaration
property EditText:;Description
Calls the inherited RealGetText method to get the value for the property.
When a new value for the property is assigned, mask literals are restored for
the new value to ensure that the control is in a recoverable state. EditText
is truncated, or padded with ClearChar as needed, so that the value matches
the length for the EditMask. These actions are not performed when
IsMasked returns False (EditMask has not been assigned).
SetEditText is not Delphi compatible. Delphi allows any text value to be
assigned to the control, leaving the control in an unrecoverable state where
it is impossible to leave the control because the text can never be
validated. The LCL implementation does not allow this.
This description is the one of MaskEdit.TCustomMaskEdit.EditText.
