Hi

I've got a Datawindow Column (of type string(9)) with an EditMask of ###-###-###.

If I paste the string 123456789 into this field, I get this:

Am I doing something wrong or is an EditMask just not suited for Copy&Paste?

Regards,

Markus

I've just done that. And somewhat fitting my example, I got bug #1234 :-)

Use format @@@-@@@-@@@ insted of editmask. This will allow you to paste in 123456789 and then will format it after you tab off.

Not use if that meets you needs but it certainly works for me.

Cheers

David

Yeah, Display Formats seem to work fine, but they're not as helpful for data entry when you have long data like a 20+ character IBAN or a 27 digit payment reference.

Agreed, I was just thinking of a work around to your problem.

Looks like it's counting the "-" as characters.  Have you tried String(11)?

Same result, even with the string(9) you end up with two empty spots at the end.
