## Description

CustomEditMask is a Boolean property which indicates if an edit mask other than the one defined for the Field in the linked dataset is used in the control.

When set to True, the features from the ancestor class are used to provide the editing mask. Set the value in the EditMask property when CustomEditMask is set to True.

When set to False, the EditMask defined in the internal TFieldDataLink instance (and loaded from the database field definition) is used in the control.
