Setting text in a date format

[satkin2]

Hi,
How do I make it so that when text is entered into a text box, it has to meet the format of dd/mm/yy or dd/mm/yyyy.

I can't seem to find a sollution anywhere. I understand a date picker could be used but wouldn't know where to even begin with that, plus I would prefer a text entry if possible.

Thanks

Try a masked textbox.

See http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/Complete_Textbox.asp for some ideas.

The sample in the web page http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/Complete_Textbox.asp was created in vb.net, but the control used should work in VB6.

The control is just like a textbox, but there are a few more properties, and there you create the text mask.
