Hi All,
I'm using a textbox bound to a date and/or datetime value in VFP6. If the user leaves the date blank, I would like to be able to eliminate the slashes and colons from the display. Back when I had moved the value to an intermediate character string, I could use the REFRESH() method to change the forecolor to the same value as the backcolor, making the display appear empty. I've found that when bound to a date or datetime value, the textbox does not go through it's normal refresh logic.
Does anyone out there have a workaround? The effect I'm looking for is similar to the "Z" inputmask that completely blanks a numeric if it's value is zero. Ideas are waways welcome...
Thanks!
