Need help to detect user input in the maskedit box

[jusan]

I am using VB6. I have textboxes and maskedit boxes in my form. I retrieve some data from database and place those information into the textboxes and maskedit boxes. I would like to detect the user input whenever they start to input, the original info would be cleared and allow user input.
My question is: How can I detect the user start to input?

You need to put in your code in the KeyPress event of the Masked Edit box.

It will Look like Private Sub MaskedEdit1(KeyAscii as Integer)
The KeyAscii is the Integer Ascii character code for the key pressed. You could also do this in the KeyDown or KeyUp procedures that will return the Keycode pressed Craig, mailto:sander@cogeco.ca
