Hi everyone,

I have created a class based on textbox where I have this following code in the gotfocus event :

This.inputmask = replicate('9',len(this.value))
This.value = padr(alltrim(this.value),len(this.value))
This.refresh()

Then , in the lostfocus event I have the reverse code :

This.inputmask = ""
This.value = parl(alltrim(this.value),len(this.value))
This.refresh()

The problem is that when I use this class inside a form , the different fields using that class show empty values . When the form comes up I would like to see the values for these fields as the are in the table and only execute the gotfocus/lostfocus code when the user tab in and out of these fields.
What am I doing wrong ?
Note that I also tried to put the code in the when/valid event combination without more success.

Thanks in advance.
