Example

Executing the example requires a form with the button named Button1 on it, the TabSheetBox component and the UiTabSheet component named UiTabSheet1, which is the data source for TabSheetBox.

Class TestForm: Form
    Button1: Button;
    UiTabSheet1: UiTabSheet;
    TabSheetBox1: TabSheetBox;

    Sub Button1OnClick(Sender: Object; Args: IMouseEventArgs);
    Var
        BM: IBindingManager;
        MaskBoxBinding: IBindingMaskEdit;
    Begin
        BM := New BindingManager.Create;
        MaskBoxBinding := BM.CreateByUi("MaskEdit") As IBindingMaskEdit;
        MaskBoxBinding.AutoSelect := True;
        MaskBoxBinding.Mask := "           dd dd ddddd";
        MaskBoxBinding.InputTemplate := "Telephone:8-9__-__-_____";
        MaskBoxBinding.MaxLength := 22;
        MaskBoxBinding.Value := "Telephone:8-9";
        MaskBoxBinding.ValidChars := "012345";
        UiTabSheet1.TabSheet.Cell(0, 0).Style.Binding := MaskBoxBinding.AsString;
    End Sub Button1OnClick;

End Class TestForm;

Clicking the button sets the value editor for the A0 table cell. On editing the cell, the data input field using a template is displayed. The applied template enables the input of the mobile phone number, by default two first numbers are displayed. Numbers available to input are in the range [0; 5].
