SmartGWT 2.0 Release includes masked-editing enhancements

Sanjiv has just released SmartGWT 2.0 and it includes updated masked-editing features. Here are some additional notes:

• Masked text fields now support both insert and overwrite modes. Insert mode is the default but overwrite mode can be enabled by setting the maskOverWriteMode property.
• Selecting a portion of the field to delete or type over now responds correctly.
• Date, DateTime, Time fields now support masked data entry.

For Date fields, setting useMask to true enables the date mask entry. The mask is automatically defined from the inputFormat (or defaults to MDY). You can change the separator character with setMaskDateSeparator.

Time fields work similarly.

These SmartGWT features are based on core SmartClient functionality that will be available in a future SmartClient release.
