The control referred to in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/maskededit-control is an implementation provided by the Windows Installer. It is not a control in the Win32 API. Note that there is no such control listed here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/controls/individual-control-info

@RLWA32 ,
Yes, I understand that. But looking at its usage may give some idea of how to make it work.

Also, I think there was an implementation of masked text control in Win API. Or my memory is playing with me? Or that was an MFC implementation? The one that is referenced below...

Thank you.

Yes, I think you are probably confusing the MFC control with the Win32 API. The MFC control is derived from CEdit which is the MFC class that encapsulates the Win32 Edit control

There's some example code here - albeit for the MFC wrapping of the control, but MFC is usually just a thin wrapper around the API.
