Support for masked input fields

[snscaimito]

On .NET there is a masked input field that appears to be an edit control. With the currently version of RAutomation validation attached to the control is not trigged. Setting the 'text' of the control removes the mask, as the mask is stored as the control's text.

Do you also have any ideas how to make it work properly?

Well we found one way around this issue was to #set_focus to the field, and then #send_keystrokes

There is also problem with password fields (e.g. IE basic authentication window) when trying to set the password value with TextField#set. The problem is that TextField#value will retrieve an empty string regardless of the value in that field thus causing #set to get TimeoutError because it checks if entered text and value are the same. I've fixed it in here 0acefa6

@leviwilson any ideas regarding this matter?

@jarmo send_keys works for me (I use it in my Text accessor in my mohawk gem).

@jarmo also, this cucumber feature illustrates it working.
