ToDo List:
- Make the EDBEditError errormessage (SMaskEditNoMatch) a Resource string in LCLStrconsts.pas
- Better handling of cut/clear/paste messages

Bugs:
- If you place a TMaskEdit on a form and at designtime set the mask and leave
  the text in the control "invalid" (as in: will not validate) and the TMaskEdit
  is the ActiveControl of the form, then before the form is displayed an exception will
  be raised, because somehow DoExit is executed (which calls ValidateEdit)
  A bugreport on this behaviour is in Mantis: #0012877
- The Delphi helpt text says that a '_' in EditMask will insert a blank in the text.
  However all versions of Delphi up to D2010 treat it as a literal '_' (unless
  specified in the 3rd field of a multifield EditMask), so I rewrote parts to make it behave like
  that also.
  If, in the future, Delphi actually treats '_' as a blank, we'll re-implement it, for that
  purpose I did not remove the concerning code, but commented it out
- UTF8 support for maskcharacters C and c, probably needs major rewrite!!
  For now we disallow any UTF8 characters:
  - in KeyPress only Lower ASCII is handled
  - in SetText, SetEditText, PasteFromClipboard all UTF8 characters in the given string
    are replaced with '?' in the UTF8ToAscii() function
  The reason for this is that an UTF8Char is > 1 byte in lenght, and it will seriously
  screw up the aritmatic of cursor placing, where to put mask-literals etc.
  (Alowing it will result in floating point erros when you type/delete in the control)


Different behaviour than Delphi, but by design (October 2009, BB)
 - In SetText in Delphi, when MasNoSave is in EditMask, it is possible to set text longer then the mask
   allowes for. I disallowed that, because it corrupts internal cursor placement etc.
 - SetEditText is not Delphi compatible. Delphi allows setting any text in the control, leaving the control
   in an unrecoverable state, where it is impossible to leave the control because the text can never be validated
   (too short, too long, overwritten maskliterals). The app wil crash as a result of this.
   I have decided to disallow this:
   - EditText is truncated, or padded with ClearChar if necessary so that Length(EditText) = Length(FMask)
   - Restore all MaskLiterals in the text

 Please leave in this note until it no longer applies!

 FOR ANYONE WHO CARES TO FIX/ENHANCE THIS CODE:

 Since we want total control over anything that is done to the text in the control
 we have to take into consideration the fact that currently we cannot prevent
 cutting/pasting/clearing or dragging selected text in the control, these are handled by the OS
 and text is changed before we can prevent it.
 Not all widgetsets currently handle the messages for cut/paste/clear. Actually we would
 like to have a LM_BEFORE_PASTE (etc.) message...
 If we allow the OS to cut/clear/paste etc. a situation can occur where mask-literals in the
 control are changed with random chars (and cannot be undone) or text is shorter or larger than
 the editmask calls for, which again cannot be undone.


 So, as a horrible hack I decided  to only allow changing of the text if we coded
 this change ourself. This is done by setting the FChangeAllowed field to True before any
 write action (in SetInherited Text() ).
 We try to intercept the messages for cut/paste/copy/clear and perform the appropriate
 actions instead.
 If this fails, then in TextChanged we check and will see that FChangeAllowed = False
 and we will undo the changes made.

 To make this undo possible it is necessary to set FCurrentText every time you set
 the text in the control!
 This is achieved in SetInheritedText() only, so please note:
 !! It is unsafe to make changes to inherited Text unless done so via SetInheritedText() !!!

{ This tries to mimic Delphi behaviour (D3):
  - if mask contains no literals text is set, if necessary padded with blanks,
    LTR or RTL depending on FTrimType
  - if mask contains literals then we search for matching literals in text and
    process each "segment" between matching maskliterals, trimming or padding
    LTR or RTL depending on FTrimType, until there is no more matching maskliteral
    Some examples to clarify:
    EditMask        Text to be set    Result
    99              1                 1_
    !99             1                 _1
    cc-cc           1-2               1_-2_
    !cc-cc          1-2               _1-_2
    cc-cc@cc        1-2@3             1_-2_@3_
                    12@3              12-__@__
    cc-cc@cc        123-456@789       12-45@78
    !cc-cc@cc       123-456@789       23-56@89
    This feauture seems to be invented for easy use of dates:

    99/99/00        23/1/2009         23/1_/20  <- if your locale DateSeparator = '/'
    !99/99/00       23/1/2009         23/_1/09  <- if your locale DateSeparator = '/'

  - The resulting text will always have length = length(FMask)
  - The text that is set, does not need to validate
