masked.Ctrl is actually a factory function for several types of masked edit controls:
masked.TextCtrl standard masked edit text box masked.ComboBox adds combobox capabilities masked.IpAddrCtrl adds logical input semantics for IP address entry masked.TimeCtrl special subclass handling lots of time formats as values masked.NumCtrl special subclass handling numeric values
masked.Ctrl works by looking for a special controlType parameter in the variable arguments of the control, to determine what kind of instance to return. controlType can be one of:
controlTypes.TEXT
controlTypes.COMBO
controlTypes.IPADDR
controlTypes.TIME
controlTypes.NUMBER
These constants are also available individually, ie, you can use either of the following:
from wx.lib.masked import Ctrl, COMBO, TEXT, NUMBER, TIME
from wx.lib.masked import Ctrl, controlTypes
If not specified as a keyword argument, the default controlType is controlTypes.TEXT.
Each of the above classes has its own unique arguments, but Masked.Ctrl provides a single “unified” interface for masked controls.
