Private Sub ExcelAddMaskedTextBox()
Dim MaskedTextBox1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
Excel.Controls.MaskedTextBox = Me.Controls. _
AddMaskedTextBox(0, 0, 75, 15, "MaskedTextBox1")
MaskedTextBox1.Mask = "00/00/0000"
End Sub
private void ExcelAddMaskedTextBox()
{
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.MaskedTextBox
maskedTextBox1 = this.Controls.AddMaskedTextBox(
0, 0, 75, 15, "maskedTextBox1");
