There aren't a lot of bugs in VB6 that haven't been discussed before, so
this group doesn't tend to get a lot of action, but there's a fair number of
knowledgeable people in here. So don't worry, someone will undoubtedly
respond to your post (besides me, that is).

Do you wanna solution or you are saying that its a bug. I cant comment on
bugs.

If you wanna solution you can format the masked edit control in design time
or you can format it in Form_Load event which will solve the problem.

1. VB6: Text in Masked Edit Control temporarily disappeared when the control lost the focus 

Hi,

I need some help.  I am using Masked Edit Control and trying to set up a 
format (to accept only numeric entry).   I am using VB6

When I enter all numbers in the Masked Edit Control  box, and move the focus 
to another control,
the numbers  in the Masked Edit Control that I typed temporarily dissappears 
and the only format of the
Masked Edit Control shows.   However, when I move my focus back to the 
control, everything (numbers) is there.

Here I can reproduce my problem.
1) place a command control button on a form
2) place a Masked Edit Control on a form
3) place the following codes in the form under one of  the command control 
subroutines


Private Sub Command1_Click()

      MaskEdBox1.Mask = "##-###"
      MaskEdBox1.Format = "__-___"


End Sub

If you enter all numbers in the Masked Edit Control  box, and move your 
focus to another control,
the text in the control will show "__-___", not the numbers just entered.


Also,  if  I doubled click the button only one time,
the  "  -   " text (an empty format shows) will show in the  Masked Edit 
Control  box.
However, the real format (when the focus is moved to the control) is still 
"__-___"

If  I doubled click the button twice, the  "__-___" text will show in the 
Masked Edit Control  box instead.



Thank you for any help and suggestions.
