I am trying to create a mask for a masked edit text box that requires the first 6 digits to be letters, the next 2 or 3 digits need to be a number, followed by a - (dash) then 2 letters.<br />
<br />
I have created the following mask: &gt;??????###-??<br />
<br />

Example: &nbsp;These are both valid ABCDEF12-MO or ABCDEF123-MO<br />

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.
