>I have a social security number field in which I need users to be able to type in the number with or without the dashes. I thought that the input mask property would provide for this, but typed dashes show up as extra characters. A format setting for all numeric characters only would also take care of the problem, but there is no such animal. I have tried to intercept the keycodes in the keypress event like this:

Do following:
Text.Format="R"
Text.Inputmask="999-99-9999"
