MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- Start Visual Basic or from the File menu, choose New Project (ALT, F, N) if Visual Basic is already running. Form1 is created by default.
- From the File menu, choose Add File (ALT F, A), and add MSMASKED.VBX to your project.
- Place a Masked Edit control (MaskedEdit1) on Form1.
- Set the BorderStyle Property of MaskedEdit1 to 0 - None.
