Masked text boxes restrict user input to a predefined format, ensuring consistent and error-free information entry.
A masked text box is a data editor that requires the user to input data in a specific format. This control is particularly useful in forms where consistency and accuracy of data are critical, such as phone numbers or social security numbers. The mask ensures that the input conforms to a predefined pattern, reducing errors and streamlining data entry processes.
