    'Declaration
 
Public Property CustomFormatSpecifier As String

    Property Value

    A string representing the custom format specifier that will be used to mask the inputted text. By default, a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

    Remarks

    The custom format specifier will only be used if the DateTimeMaskMode property is set to DateTimeMaskMode.Custom.

    The CustomFormatSpecifier only allows a subset of the rules found here:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings.

    Here are the specific constraints:

    • the following specifiers are not allowed (streak length does not matter): 'f', 'F', 'g', 'G', 'K', 'z', '%'
    • the following specifiers are allowed, but the streak length cannot exceed 2: 'd', 'h', 'H', 'M', 'm', 's'
    • the following specifier is allowed, but the streak lenght must be 1, 2 or 4: 'y'
