Determines whether or not the prompt character is a valid input character.
Syntax
[form.]MaskedEdit.AllowPrompt [= {True | False}]
Remarks
The AllowPrompt property settings are as follows:
| Setting | Description |
| False | (Default) The prompt character is not a valid input character. A ValidationError event is triggered if you enter the prompt character. |
| True | The prompt character is a valid input character. |
For example, suppose you have defined a prompt character of 0, and you want the Masked Edit control to accept five digits between 0 and 9. You specify a mask of #####. If the AllowPrompt property is False and you enter 0, a ValidationError event occurs. If AllowPrompt is set to True, you can enter 0 as a valid input character.
