Not sure that the MaskedTextBox is the right control to use
for this, but here goes:
I need to have an input for an email address that:
A) Is a hyperlink to start an email with displayed email
address as the "To:" address.
AND
B) Allow the user to edit the email address if they so
desire.
So, first, I need to have it appear as a link that can be
edited,
Second, I need to know what I would use for a mask (assuming
that this is the right control for this)
Can anyone point me in the right directions?
TIA,
Bob Mathis

Hello Bob,
The MaskedTextBox widget is designed to work with a mask that has a strict length. In other words, if the mask is 10 chars then the input value should contain 10 chars too.
What I believe will be a better match in this case is to use a regular INPUT element with pattern attribute or even an input with type="email". Thus you will be able to define a complex regular expression. If you would like to show/hide the input then you can easily do that using JavaScript.
