with a stand alone textbox you can put the code into the textbox refresh method:
textbox::Refresh
this.InputMask = ICASE(m.this.value=CONDITION1,MASK1,CONDITION2,MASK2....)
NODEF
on grid the dynamicInputMask is not stable
then you can work with dynamicCurrentControl
o another other dynamic expression.
