Remarks
A character is said to be escaped if it is valid input, but is not assigned to that position in the formatted string. Escaped characters fall into the following three categories:
Prompt characters are escaped if the AllowPromptAsInput property is
true
.Input characters are escaped if they have the same value as the literal in the mask, and if the SkipLiterals property is
true
.Space characters are escaped if the ResetOnSpace property is
true
.
The VerifyEscapeChar method will also return false
if the pos
parameter is less than zero or greater than the Length of the Mask.
