Hi,
How can I add and set the Placeholder property in editmask control? Of course, I can put text value and manipulate it in edit mask control. But maybe it exists a simple solution.
Regards,
Pawel

Hi Pawel et Al;
Yes, I wish other data entry controls also supported the PlaceHolder (aka "Hint Text") feature! :-(
As an alternate suggestion though ... my STD Framework implements PowerTip Text on every control, Something that native PB does not (unfortunately) on most object classes.
Here is an example from my OrderEntry Demo App (just hovering the mouse over a few controls) ...
The above works in native PB Apps, PowerClient and PowerServer based Apps as well! You are most welcome to borrow the code as the framework is free & open source. ;-)
FYI: https://sourceforge.net/projects/stdfndclass/files/Applications/PowerBuilder/OrderEntry
Regards ... Chris

They've added a nice feature to the "least used object" (at least in my applications). We mostly use datawindows everywhere, but even if so, Appeon could have added this attribute also to the multiline edit control (of which the edit mask control seems to be inherited).
regards.
I know that Placeholder exists only for SingleLineEdit, but I could use EditMask control and it doesn't have this property. Something we can use mask property and placeholder together, so currently it isn't possible in PB.

Pawel
