Mask Edit
Hi
How could I use the mask edit to have the following input format.
+ or - 999.999999
ex +156.894677
-34.222
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanx
Dylan

I don't think that the Masked Edit Control has that level of flexibility. However, you can write code in the KeyPress Event of a standard text box that could accomplish the same thing (that is, only allow a "+" or "-" as the first entry, and then only allow digits or a decimal point (only one) after the first KeyStroke.
Put this in the format property
+#,###,###.########;-#,###
+#,###,###.########;-#,###
This has the format of 3.6 as you wanted
+###.######;-###.######
+###.######;-###.######

set mask property to -999.999999
ignore my previous posting
use mask as 9###.######
but this accepts digit value at the 1 st digit place where mask is 9. need to write code to suppress that in keypress if first digit is other than +/- then make keyascii=0
