Infopower's PictureMasks property equivalent in SDAC
Posted: Wed 29 Jun 2011 10:27
Hi,
I'm converting a project from using InfoPower data access components to SDAC.
InfoPower data components have a 'PictureMasks' property. This property allows you to define a data entry template, or mask, for the values that can be entered into a field displayed on the screen. (This functionality duplicates the Picture function that’s been available in Borland’s Paradox relational database product). Picture masks force end-users to enter only those characters, digits and special characters that you allow them to, and only in those specific positions within a field that you pre-define.
What would be the equivalent way of implementing the 'PictureMasks' property when using SDAC components?
Thank you for your kind assistance in this regard.
