Maskededit control

[C NewBe]

I am having a tough time getting maskededit control to display any Alphanumeric text in C++. I have used maskededit control in VB with no problem. I need some help.....

Yes it does not but you can insert it in the project using "Insert ActiveX Control" and select "Microsoft Masked Edit Control, version 6.0".

Of course. It's not quite built-in as it is an external ActiveX control, but a masked edit control nonetheless. What specific problem are you having with it? You indicated that alphanumeric text was troubling you. Does that imply that alpha-only and numeric-only are working fine? I'm just trying to narrow down if it's a specific usage of the control that's the problem, or the control as a whole. What mask/format are you trying to use?

Whether I use a mask for numeric or no mask for just plain string, I am not able to display anything at all in the control. I created a simple project with just the dialog and the control and I am still unable to display any string.
