DateItem Issue: setUseMask(true) DEL-Key dose not work properly

[unkis]

Hi,
I found problem.
"DEL"-key does not work properly when a text-mask(setUseMask(true)) will be applied to DateItem.

How can I solve this problem?

I can not delete anything with DEL-key

thx.

A DateItem uses overwrite mode for the mask thus the Del key only deletes at the current cursor position - nothing is shifted. If this is not the "does not work properly" you are reporting, please provide further details.

I need the following when I press del, it deletes a character and shift the cursor to the right.
How can i do this?
thx.

No built-in way to do that but that sounds like a reasonable enhancement. I'll add it to the list for a future release.
