Hi all,
After experimenting around with DevExpress controls and adding them to my form, Custom mask do not seem to work on the MaskedTextBox. If I place a custom mask and debug, I get a null reference exception.
It seems to be the maskedTextBoxs mask property that is doing this. I have tried setting the mask through design and by code. However, neither way works.
My question is, is it possible to use a TextBox as a maskedTextbox? To be able to format it? I need the user to enter in hours, minutes, seconds like hh:mm:ss or 00:00:00.
Heres the error I get:
"NullReferenceException was unhandled. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Thanks,
- Jordan
