DateTimeAdvancingCaret	The DateTime mask mode with the caret automatic movement feature. After an end-user enters and completes a specific portion of a date/time value the caret automatically moves to the following part of the date/time value that can be edited.
Numeric	Specifies that the editor should accept numeric values and that the mask string must use the Numeric format syntax.
RegEx	Specifies that the mask should be created using full-functional regular expressions.
Regular	Specifies that the mask should be created using simplified regular expression syntax.
Simple	Specifies that the mask should use the simplified syntax.
Custom	Specifies that the editor uses a custom mask manager. To implement a custom mask manager which will deal with masks in a custom manner create a custom editor and override its CreateMaskManager method. This method should then supply a custom mask manager when the MaskProperties.MaskType property is set to Custom.
