Hi All!

I live in a city that is large enough to have 2 area codes. Using an input mask like 9-999-999-9999 allows me to enter phone/fax numbers by including the 1 as the first digit for a long distance number. This inputmask is not good if the leading 1 (or 0) is not acceptable. If I change the input mask to 999-999-9999 I cannot enter the 1, and I don't have code to programmatically determine when to add the 1 or not. If the phone number were entered from right to left, it would format properly more often wouldn't it?

Does anyone have a class that handles phone number formatting with the option to specify what area codes are not long distance and have it preface the 1 when the area code is outside the specified set?

Thanks!
