Mask type
Masks are used to format different value types in a specific manner. For instance when a “dd-month-yyyy” mask is applied to the date 31-03-2009 this date will be displayed as “31 March 2009”.
Each mask is of a specific mask type which defines its properties. You can specify parameters for your mask type, so that style managers can define various masks based on one mask type.
