Much better idea, but as Michael pointed out, you probably don't need another control for that. Take a look at Qt for a nice example (if I'm not mistaken). They allow you to set an input mask for a standard textedit control. That input mask (validator) may be regex too. This is a lot more powerful that VCL/LCL's MaskEdit or a specialised SpinEdit etc. But if you guys are anal about "delphi compatibility" like the FPC developers, then that is probably not an option for you.
