LookupTable Property (TDBMask)
Sets/returns a lookup (reference) table for the fields specified using the DBCS or SBCS keywords.
TDBMask.LookupTable= string
Read/Write at run time and design time.
The LookupTable property is provided for setting up a list of characters of special interest during entry of the control. When combined with the LookupMode property, these characters will either be excluded from input or be the only allowable input. This reference table will not be used when a DBCS character is entered at run time. Only the SBCS characters will be validated, when entering fields specified with the DBCS and SBCS keywords.
Only SBCS alpha numeric, symbol characters can be specified in the LookupTable property. When DBCS characters, SBCS Katakana are entered, they will be treated as an error.
The characters and the ranges of characters in the lookup table are delimited by commas (","). A hyphen ("-") can be used to create a range of characters.
Ranges cannot be set for symbols using a hyphen ("-"), so they need to be specified individually.
Since the comma (",") and the hyphen ("-") are used as delimiters, they cannot be used as lookup characters.
