The FormattedText property returns the string displayed in the Masked Edit control when the control doesn't have the focus. This property is not available at design time, and is read-only at run time.
Syntax
[form.]MaskedEdit.FormattedText
Remarks
If the Format property is equal to the empty string (""), this property is identical to the Text property, except that it is read-only. If the HideSelection property is set to False, the control doesn't display the formatted text when it doesn't have the focus. However, the formatted text is still available through this property.
