Reminder

• the input masks that define the characters that can be typed in the controls found in a window or in a page. Sometimes, these masks can also be used to modify the case (uppercase/lowercase characters) of the values assigned to the window controls or to the page controls programmatically.
• the display masks that define the characters that can be:
  • displayed in the window controls.
  • printed in the report controls.

• the "Project-defined time" input mask is selected: the information defined in the time management parameters for the project is automatically taken into account. Reminder: These parameters are defined for each language in the "Languages" tab of the project description:
  1. On the "Project" tab, in the "Project" group, click "Description".
  2. Select the "Languages" tab then the "Time" tab.
  3. The format used corresponds to:
     • the settings of the operating system,
     • the specified parameters.
• the "Same mask as the input" display mask is selected.

• In a report, when creating a preset Date control, the wizard allows you to select the display format of the control.
• A list of preset masks is proposed in the description window of the control. You can:
  • select a preset mask.
  • create a custom mask.

• 'HH:MM'
• 'HH:MM:SS'
• 'HH:MM:SS:CC'
• HH:MM:SS AM': to manage time in AM/PM format.
• the system time. The system time depends on the input mask selected in the regional system parameters ("Regional options" in the control panel).

• 'HH' (hour)
• 'MM' (minutes)
• 'SS' (seconds)
• 'CC' (hundredths of a second)

Customized input masks are managed in display mode only: they are not available when the user enters the Edit control field.
