FormatMaskText is a String function used to apply an edit mask to the specified String value. FormatMaskText creates a temporary instance of TCustomMaskEdit that is used to apply the edit mask in AEditMask when required. The value in AEditMask is assigned to the EditMask property in TCustomMaskEdit.
The Value argument contains the data without any mask literals, escaped characters, or space characters inserted by the editing mask. When the IsMasked method in the TCustomMaskEdit returns True, the ApplyMaskToText method is used to generate the return value for the routine. To maintain Delphi compatibility, the GetTextWithoutSpaceChar is also called to translate space characters represented using the character in the mask field to the Space character (decimal 32).
When IsMasked is False, the unmodified content in Value is used as the return value.
