Return Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the character was successfully replaced; otherwise, false.
The Replace(Char, Int32, Int32%, MaskedTextResultHint%) method searches for the first editable position in the formatted string at or beyond the specified position, pos. If one is found, the value of the editable position is changed to the specified character, input. Any of the following conditions will result in an error condition that causes no replacement to be performed and a value of false to be returned:
The pos parameter is less than zero or greater than the Length of the formatted string.
An editable character was not found in the formatted string at or beyond the specified position, pos.
The replacement character, input, is not a valid input character because it is not printable or does not match its corresponding mask element.
In addition to the return value, this method has two output parameters to supply additional information about the replacement operation.
