I gave up using MaskedEdit as it had some bugs if you where rapidly changing focus from one control to another.  The text box did not have this problem.  But this was back in 96 so it may have been fixed now.

if i want to input information i,e, 294-88-110172 then which control is suitable.
You could use the MaskEdBox for that purpose. Or use the text box with some coding. Have a look at this:

Hope this helps.
