CMFCMaskedEdit::EnableSelectByGroup
Specifies whether the masked edit control allows the user to select particular groups input, or all input.
void EnableSelectByGroup(
BOOL bEnable=TRUE
);
Parameters
- [in] bEnable
TRUE to select only groups; FALSE to select the whole text. The default value is TRUE.
Remarks
Use this function to specify whether the masked edit control allows a user to select by group or the whole text.
By default, selection by group is enabled. In this case the user can select only continuous groups of valid characters.
For example, you might use the following masked edit control to validate a telephone number:
m_wndMaskEdit.EnableMask(
_T(" ddd ddd dddd"),// Mask string
_T("(___) ___-____"),// Template string
_T(' '));// Default char
m_wndMaskEdit.SetValidChars(NULL); // All characters are valid.
m_wndMaskEdit.SetWindowText(_T("(425) 555-0187")); // Prompt
If selection by group is enabled, the user can retrieve only the "425", "555", or "0187" string groups. If group selection is disabled the user can retrieve the whole text of the telephone number: "(425) 555-0187".
