PlaceHolder


(string) Text used as a placeholder for the input mask. This can be used as sample input until the user fills the input mask. For example, if you used the telephone number input mask, you could include a sample digit as the placeholder such as 9. At runtime it would appear as (999) 999-9999 until the user replaced these digits with their own. The default is a blank space.


Re t u r n s


(table) A table containing the user input text, indexed by the following keys:



KEY


TYPE DESCRIPTION


Displayed


string


The text as displayed (including literals from the input mask).


Data


string


The data entered (not including literals from the input mask).

If the user presses the "Cancel" button on the dialog or an error occurs, nil is returned. You can use

Application.GetLastError to determine whether this action failed, and why.
