Anyone here good with masks ? I am trying to have an input mask on an social id number field, ######-#### but have the option of the first character being a question mark (?), I can't get the editfield to accept a ? as input. I have tried to set a and A as the first character, but it won't allow anything that is not alpabet or a number.

Anyone ?

Seems you need a masked edit field that can have more than one valid mask for that particular position

I'm quite sure you cannot do

        [?#]#####-####

which is sort of what you need or two masks like

        ?#####-####
        ######-####
        
I have a project on my web site that has a masked edit field that permits you to use multiple masks so you could define two masks and then it would match either one as long as the user keeps typing in matching characters that should allow you to do this
