True. Thanks for the suggestions. This will certainly do what I'm after.

I'm wondering if anyone else thinks a prepend option would be useful for the
the mask. I'm not sure if it would be useful for anything else.


The mask for the editfield needs 2 masks
An input mask and a display mask

that way you can accept only 10 digit s but display it in some other form

I disagree. I think that the mask should be able to add the literal "(" text character automatically on the first numeric entry as it does when it appends the ")", space and hyphen during the course of entry. The current operation doesn't respond to a numeric entry and the leading "(" literal is not intuitive IMHO.

If you look at the editfield in the IDE when making the mask, the leading literal appears in the editfield. On an IDE run, however, it is not there. This might be a bug.
