Jade Edit Mask - Bug ?

Hi all,

Ive just discovered after alot of code testing that dynamically changing a Jade Edit Mask mask property in code will only work if the jade edit mask is in a mdi form.
If I change the mask property with code in a modal form the Jade Edit Mask box doesnt retain the new mask and it repaints itself to the default setting. - Very annoying.

Any one else struck this problem?
How did you work around?

Changed mask from (##\)###" "#### in code to
(####\)###" "#### by user ticking a check box.
In painter it runs fine. put the Jade edit mask on a mdi forn it runs fine. Put it on a modal form and it doesnt work, repaints itself beck to default (##\)###" "####

I haven't encountered this myself, but a search for "jadeeditmask modal" on the known problems page shows it is a previously report problem and will be addressed in the 6.0.22 release.

Unfortunately it looks like the only "work-around" in the interim is to set the edit mask in painter or not use a modal form.

Hope that helps,
Pat.
