3. Enter a string in the second C1MaskedTextBox control:

Notice that there was no mask added to this control – if you chose, you could type numbers or other characters in the control.

4. Try entering a string in the third C1MaskedTextBox control. Notice that you cannot – that is because the Mask property was set to only accept numbers. Enter a numeric value instead – notice that this does work.
5. Enter numbers in each of the remaining controls. The application will appear similar to the following image:

Notice that the Value property displayed under each C1MaskedTextBox control does not include literal characters, while the Text property does.

Congratulations!
