Clear a MaskEDBox that has an input mask in VB 1

[BlackSand]

I'm trying to clear a MaskEDBox that containt text with a simple command: txtCoopZip.Text = ""

But I guess that since I have an input mask that looks like this: >?#? #?#, it gives me an error. I would guess its because it doesn't allow space.

Pls help. thx

I found the problem u basicly need to clear it with the input mask... if its set to stars then it would be
txtZipCoop = "*** ***"

You should also be able to clear the .ClipText property.

txtCoopZip.ClipText = ""

The .ClipText property ignores the mask.
Thanks and Good Luck!

The .ClipText property thows a "Read-Only Property" error for me. I use the following code:

txtCoopZip.PromptInclude = False
txtCoopZip.Text = ""

Hope this helps.

The .ClipText property throws a "Read-Only Property" error for me. I used the following code:

txtCoopZip.PromptInclude = False
txtCoopZip.Text = ""

You have to clear it using the mask

if your mask is >?#? #?#
then you have to do

textbox.text = ">?#? #?#"
