I have an editfield what uses a mask and I was wondering if I am doing it correctly.

Now when you enter data you have to do a Shift 9 to first enter the "(", why is this?  A mask should just be there to 
keep order as to how the data is entered and have NO real connection to the enduser's entry.  Once the "(" is enter 
manually by the user the rest of the mask works ok as you do not need to enter the ")" or the "-" in the 
mask, only the first part of the mask you have to enter the "(".

Now this may make some endusers upset as they may not know this and it will 
cause a few bug reports to my software.  So tell me, i'm I doing it right or am 
I missing something?
