Or maybe just a simple social security number, phone number, or some dollar figure. You get the picture. Programmers have to spend so much time on little data entry details that we loose valuable time in solving the big problems. When I installed Input Pro, the first control that caught my eye was the DateTime control. Just about every application I've ever written has required the user to enter a date.
Currency is another control that hits about every business application.
And Input Pro doesn't quit there. And if those don't cover what you need, there are also masked controls so you can create your own special input controls. If you've ever attempted to write a standard control, you know how much work it is to cover all of the different styles available. The set of controls in Input Pro has them all. Text on all of the controls can be raised and lowered.
