Funny but I've just been contemplating the same thing
What I'd like is an input masking system that handled money/dates/times etc
I've used the Softouch as a basis for one control (cause their calendar
control didn't input times)
Their code is quite nice and derives from TCustomEdit, supports 'popups' and
floats over grids!
So if you come up with anything I'd be interested
The best mask syntax i've seen is the Infopower 'PictureMask' which was
based on the paradox 'PictureMask'
but the rest of the stuff was relatively horrible once you got past the
surface
So if there was a CustomEdit based component that implememented a paradox
mask (with good source)
it would be somewhere to start
