     Main Features:


  • Masked text input.

     Documentation:
  • The MaskEditField plugin comes fully documented in 3 ways:
    1. HTML Documentation
    2. On-Line Documentation
    3. We document our plugins with RB Plugin Plunger, which means that the documentation is built into the plugin. To read the documentation users need to download RB Plugin Plunger which is a free utility which was created by some Plugin authors to provide a standardized documentation for plugins.
  • The plugin comes with sample projects which demonstrates usage of masks.
   
   Under the hood:
  • MaskEditField is written in C, its native code for each target platform, no platform emulation is done.
