NateMask - Iin financial calculator applications

NateMask is a numeric-only edit Box with dynamic masking capabilities for Delphi programmers. Its most practical usage is in Financial Calculator applications, but can be used in any setting where input needs to be restricted to numbers. Although it has been developed with U.S. standards as its testing platform, the Windows Regional Settings characters are used when applying masks to any input values. NateMask inherits from Delphi`s MaskEdit component. The additional properties you`ll find on NateMask are as follows: 1. DecimalPlaces (Integer) - Declares the number of Digits allowed after the Decimal. 2. MaskType (TMaskType) - Declares the type of formatting the input value will receive. Possible mask types are: mtNone (no formatting), mtNumber (thousands separator), mtPercent (thousands separator and a % sign after the number), mtCurrency (thousands separator and a currency symbol). 3. MaximumLength (Integer) - Determines the maximum number of digits the user can input. 4. MaximumValue (Extended) - Defines the maximum value the component will accept. 5. MinimumValue (Extended) - Defines the minimum value the component will accept. 6. NumericValue (Extended) - Replaces the "Text" property on the standard edit component. Since values are always numeric, this property can be set or read. 7. ShowZero (Boolean) - Determines what shows when the value of the component is 0. If True, a zero shows. If false, the component is blank.
