PRB: Msmask32.ocx Does Not Work Properly in MFC Containers (146443)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q146443 SYMPTOMS
When the Masked Edit Control's Format property is set, it does not
automatically format its contents upon losing focus. When embedded
in a Visual Basic 4.0 form or Microsoft Access 7.0 form, the control
automatically formats its contents when the control loses focus.
CAUSE
The Masked Edit Control uses a proprietary Visual Basic interface called
IVBFormat. The absence of IVBFormat support in a control container prevents
the Masked Edit Control from automatically updating its contents as
specified by the Format property. Control containers created with Visual
C++ do not support IVBFormat. Other control containers, such as Visual
FoxPro 3.0 forms, which do not support this interface, will also experience
limited functionality from the Masked Edit Control.
RESOLUTION
The IVBFormat interface is proprietary and subject to change. Documentation
or specifications for this interface are not available. The Masked Edit
Control can be used in a Visual C++ control container application, but the
automatic formatting feature will remain disabled. Other properties such as
the control's Mask property, will function properly in the absence of
IVBFormat support.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
