The following tables show a sample row in the PBCatEdt table for an EditMask edit style and the meaning of the values.
About the example
This example shows an Edit Mask edit style using a code table of display and data values as part of a spin control. Rows 2 and beyond exist in PBCatEdt only if the edit mask is defined as a spin control (bit 29 of Flag is 1). Rows 3 and beyond exist only if the optional code table is populated.
For information about using an edit mask as a spin control, see Displaying and Validating Data.

Examples:
|
|
Range |
Character representation (in decimal) of spin control range. The min value and max value are tab-delimited. Example: "1[tab]13" means min = 1, max = 13 |
|
SpinInc |
Character representation (in decimal) of spin increment. |
|
Display1 |
Display value for first entry in code table. |
|
Data1 |
Data value for first entry in code table. |
|
Display2 |
Display value for second entry in code table. |
|
Data2 |
Data value for second entry in code table. Display and data values are repeated in pairs for each entry in the code table. |
|
Flag |
32-bit flag. Low-order four hex digits are generic edit type; high-order four are styles within the type. A 1 in any bit indicates the corresponding style is checked. A 0 in any bit indicates the corresponding style is unchecked. Bit 31: Required Bit 30: Autoskip Bit 29: Spin control Bit 28: Read only (code table option) Bit 27: Use code table Bit 26: Not used (set to 0) Bit 25: Not used (set to 0) Bit 24: Not used (set to 0) Bit 23 – 16 (2 hex digits): Not used (set to 0) Bit 15 – 8 (2 hex digits): Always 0 for Edit Mask edit style Bit 7: Always 0 for Edit Mask edit style Bit 6: Always 0 for Edit Mask edit style Bit 5: Always 1 for Edit Mask edit style Bit 4: Always 0 for Edit Mask edit style Bits 3 – 0 (1 hex digit): Always 0 for Edit Mask edit style |
