Edit Mask for text fields without using Pattern or Matching classes [message #442921]

Is there any way we can set Edit Masks on text fields?. For example an
edit Mask for a Date field of the mask : MM/DD/YY (e.g.12/07/04)and Time
fields, hh:mm(am or pm) (e.g.12:24a OR 08:14p) .I have seen some posts out
here which use the Pattern and Matching classes. However these classes are
only supported in JDK 1.4, for lower versions of java is there some way to
do the edit masking without using these classes in SWT?..I am a newbie to
SWT and would really appreciate some help.

VerifyEvents will allow you to modify text entry as it occurs. However, you
will need to implement the pattern matching behavior yourself.
