Cursor Placement in MobileControl

[Bob Sneidar]

It’s too specific. For instance I always format phone numbers nnn-nnn-nnnn xnnn (the x is for extension). Some people bracket the area code with paras, some need the country code, some want to prepend 1+ etc. 

I was planning to have a format string of some sort, then follow that pattern as the user types. For instance: <nnn>-<nnn>-<nnnn> x<nnnnnn> the brackets indicating text to be replaced. I could exclude the brackets but I might want to have a format string that uses a literal n in the future, so I have to figure out how to do all that.
