GetDefaultMask Method

Gets the default mask for the editor. When the owner doesn't provide any mask, value of this property will be used as the default mask. Default value is null. You should only override this property if your editor only supports a specific type. For example, DateTimeEditor only supports Date. Editing numbers, or strings do not make sense for a date time editor. So for such editors, override and return a default mask for that editor.
