Edit control (filter)

The control supports two kinds of filtering: an include mask and an exclude mask. Both masks will contain characters that is either not accepted or only accepted as user input. If an Attempt is made to enter an illegal character, the control will play the standard beep sound. The control cannot filter characters on particular text positions. It is only able to either exclude on include certain characters from the input stream. Using the style setting ES_EX_JUMPY, the control can be set to automatically jump to the next control in the TAB order when the user is at the very end of the input Box. For this to work, use the SetLimitText() member to limit the number of characters in the edit control
