Hi Jim,

I've tried every possible way to easely solve it with an inputmask. However, I ended up in writing a class which checks the input of every keystroke and adds a X when entering the extension number automatically

Also be ware that some areas use a 1 prefix to indicate that you want to call someone from outside a certain region 1(999) 999-9999.

And of course you'll have to deal with a situation where the user wants to enter a foreign (non - north american) phonenumber.

Time to let the students write their own phonenumber class.

Walter,
