if you use "AR_" as a TextBox Mask, the "A" is replaced by "_" which gives "_R_".
Could you have a look please?
It's not bug, try this mask:
>\ARa;1;_
EditMask is a string that consists of three fields with semicolons separating them. The first part of the mask is the mask itself. The second part is the character that determines whether the literal characters of a mask are saved as part of the data. The third part of the mask is the character used to represent unentered characters in the mask.
These are the special characters used in the first field of the mask:
!
If a ! character appears in the mask, optional characters are represented in the text as leading blanks. If a ! character is not present, optional characters are represented in the text as trailing blanks.
>
If a > character appears in the mask, all characters that follow are in uppercase until the end of the mask or until a < character is encountered.
<
If a < character appears in the mask, all characters that follow are in lowercase until the end of the mask or until a > character is encountered.
<>
If these two characters appear together in a mask, no case checking is done and the data is formatted with the case the user uses to enter the data.
\
The character that follows a \ character is a literal character. Use this character to use any of the mask special characters as a literal in the data.

9

#
The # character permits a numeric character or a plus or minus sign in this position, but doesn't require it.
:
The : character is used to separate hours, minutes, and seconds in times. If the character that separates hours, minutes, and seconds is different in the regional settings of the Control Panel utility on your computer system, that character is used instead.
/
The / character is used to separate months, days, and years in dates. If the character that separates months, days, and years is different in the regional settings of the Control Panel utility on your computer system, that character is used instead.
;
The ; character is used to separate the three fields of the mask.
_
The _ character automatically inserts spaces into the text. When the user enters characters in the field, the cursor skips the _ character.
