I would like to create an input mask which looks like this C-HG__.

But because C represent option character or space in masking (VB.net). It wouldn't let me.

Please assist.

Try using the escape element: \

MSDN has a fairly nice write-up. Here's an excerpt:

\ Escape. Escapes a mask character, turning it into a literal. "\\" is the escape sequence for a backslash.
