Answer 1

    protected virtual void _(Events.RowSelected<FilterDAC> e)
    {
        if (e.Row != null)
        {
            FilterDAC row = e.Row as FilterDAC;
            PXDBStringAttribute.SetInputMask<FilterDAC.stringField>(e.Cache, e.Row, ">CCCC");
/*PXStringAttribute for non DB backed fields*/
        }
    }

If you are trying to change masking on a text box the control must be declared as a PXMaskEdit as shown below :

<px:PXMaskEdit runat="server" DataField="StringField" ID="edStringField" CommitChanges="True" AlreadyLocalized="False"></px:PXMaskEdit>
