MaskEdit is a LCL control and hence has nothing to do in fpc. I have in the past copied bits of TMaskEdit to a related fpc unit (cannot remeber exactly which), so that they work the same (setting and removing masks IIRC), with the exception that TMaskEdit does this on UTF-8, while the fpc unit assumes 1-byte ANSI encoding (so it won't work on UTF-8). Given the release cycle of fpc, I would strongly advise to have this code on "our side" (Lazarus), so bugs can be eliminated much faster. The Masks unit is not related to TMaskEdit. For the Masks unit: the same UTF-8 problems exist with it's fpc counterpart IIRC (did not study the code recently). So, I would like to keep it "here" as well. -- Bart -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
