Remarks
An editor’s mask hint can be displayed during user input, if the editor’s ShowHints property is true and a mask of the range or enumeration type is defined via the MaskSettings.Mask property.
A mask hint is displayed when input focus is positioned within a specific (range or enumeration) mask section, providing end-users with information on the available value options.
