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.
Some mask types will only be suitable for specific data types. You can specify which base types are valid for your mask type.
