Description
SplitEditMask is a procedure used to separate fields in the edit
mask into arguments passed to the routine.
AEditMask is the
editing mask with the delimited fields to examine the procedure. If AEditMask
contains a value like:
'999.999;0;_'
The procedure returns the following values in the corresponding arguments:
- AMaskPart - Mask characters
- '999.999'.
- AMaskSave - Indicates if mask characters are included in the value for a control
- False. Optional. Default value is True.
- ASpaceChar - Character used to represent a space in the masked value
- '_'. Optional. Default value is DefaultBlank. Not relevant when AMaskSave is False.
SplitEditMask is used in the implementation of the SetEditMask
method in TCustomMaskEdit.
