TCustomMaskEdit.SetEditText procedure
Sets the value for the EditText property.
Declaration
procedure SetEditText(const AValue: string)Description
SetEditText sets the value for the Text displayed in the control.
The new value for the text is padded (when needed) to the length defined in
the edit mask. SetEditText calls
RealSetTextWhileMasked to store
the value in the
Text in the control.
This method is not Delphi compatible, but this is by design. Delphi allows
setting the EditText to any length, which is extremely dangerous! This method
ensures that the text assigned in the control does not exceed the length
specified by its edit mask.
