There is anohter way <br />
If your mask property in the masked edit is like this<br />
&quot;#####&quot;, in the code to clean this masked edit box you have to use<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;maskededit.text = &quot;_____&quot;<br />
This, if the promptchar property is &quot;_&quot;<br />
<br />
so the only thing that you have to do is to replace the text with the &quot;empty mask&quot; with only prompt chars.<br />
<br />
For example<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Maskededitbox.mask = &quot;(###)-##-##-##-##&quot;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Maskededitbox.promptchar = &quot;_&quot;<br />
to clean the maskededit box you only have to put this code<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;maskededitbox.text = &quot;(___)-__-__-__-__&quot;<br />
and the maskededitbox will be cleaned

If your mask property in the masked edit is like this
"#####", in the code to clean this masked edit box you have to use
     maskededit.text = "_____"
This, if the promptchar property is "_"

so the only thing that you have to do is to replace the text with the "empty mask" with only prompt chars.

For example

    Maskededitbox.mask = "(###)-##-##-##-##"
    Maskededitbox.promptchar = "_"
to clean the maskededit box you only have to put this code
   maskededitbox.text = "(___)-__-__-__-__"
and the maskededitbox will be cleaned

Hello experts:<br />
<br />
I'm working with a masked edit box and I'm getting stumped on what should be something simple.<br />
<br />
I have a masked edit box with the mask set to (###)###-####<br />
<br />
This is used to capture a phone number. &nbsp;However, if I'm navigating through records, I can't figure a way to clear out the phone field because it won't accept blanks.<br />
<br />
Would someone offer some assistance on how to clear out this field?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Masked Edit Box

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
