Using JBuilder 3.0:

It doesn't appear that dbSwing components pay attention to the
edit/display masks defined in the data columns.  Is this true?  For
example:
1. An edit/display mask of "99999" will allow ANY character to be
entered (Alphas and numerics)
2. A simple zip code mask like "00000{\'-'9999}" will take an input
string of "123456789" and change it to "12345-789".  It seems like the
'-' character placeholder occupies an actual position in the field.

Is there a workaround?  I also need masks for social security and phone
numbers.  Any help would be appreciated.

Why not use the JBCL controls?  They look and behave differently than
Swing/dbSwing controls.  They also require 2 tab keys to post and
navigate to the next control.
