VB 2005 Masked Text Box IP Address

Hi

I would like to use the MaskedTextBox control to enter and IP address.

The custom works fine for 3 digits ie 255.255.255.255 but not for less ie 10.10.0.1

Thanks

doesn't it work if you put MaskedTextBox1.Mask = "999-999-999-999"? sorry i haven't much experience with textbox masks but according to this link: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.maskedtextbox.mask.aspx
the 9 is for an optional digit...

it gives you the source for creating your own textbox into an ip address maskbox.
