Default Using SendMessage API function w/ masked text control


Hello,

I am developing an application that inserts text into another application. No problems at all finding handles and using SendMessage to insert text into their standard edit boxes/combo boxes/etc.

My problem is that when I attempt to insert text into what appears to be a masked text box (e.g. a date into a box with the format __/__/____), it does so...but the application does not recognize it as valid data.

How to I format my string/SendMessage to match the mask in the text box?

Thank you
