| ResetOnPrompt value | AllowPromptAsInput value | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| true | true | The prompt character can be entered and it causes the current mask position to be reset. |
| true | false | The prompt character can be entered and it causes the current mask position to be reset. |
| false | true |
The prompt character is processed as a standard input character. |
| false | false | The prompt character is not a valid input character. |
