How to use MaskEdit to ensure a correct number input
Hi!
I am working on a program where I need to be absolutly sure that the number i receive is 11 numbers no more no less.
I have fumbled around with MaskEdit and EDBEditError exceptions, but I am rather uncertain how to use this correctly.
I would like to know if I am all wrong in assuming that I have to use exceptions and how to use them correct.

thanks Meikl :-)
thanks Meikl :-)
if you place a mask like
00000000000
then the user cant leave the field, if there are less than 11 digits entered.
no special check must be done
