TcxFormatController.StandardDateEditMask Property

Specifies the mask with a standard TMaskEdit syntax to enter date values.

#Declaration

Delphi
property StandardDateEditMask: string read; write;

#Property Value

Type
string

#Remarks

Date editors (for instance, TcxCustomDateEdit descendants) use the standard syntax mask specified using the StandardDateEditMask property when the corresponding mask mode is set via an editor’s Properties.InputKind property. When the StandardDateEditMask property is changed (either by the TcxFormatController class to reflect system locale changes or by changing the property directly), all subscribed controls receive a “format changed” notification.

Note

To improve performance when modifying several TcxFormatController properties simultaneously, enclose the code that performs these modifications within the BeginUpdate/EndUpdate method blocks. In addition, you can set an application’s UpdateFormatSettings property to False to prevent the TcxFormatController class from updating its properties in response to changes made to the system locale settings.
