Auto tab in masked edit control

[ffa]

Hi All

Is there a way to get a masked edit control to pass control to the next
control in the tab order when data is complete (as specified by the mask).
Put another way, if I have a masked edit control for a phone number (with a
mask requiring 10 digits) and those digits have been entered, I would like
the next control in the tab order to get focus. It used to be called
AutoTab.

Thanks...

Harry

under the text_changed event of the mask control (double click on the
control it to create the event placeholder)

add code like this:

If (txtMaskControl.Text.Length = 10) then
AnotherControl.Focus()
End if

------
replace txtMaskControl with the name of your mask control and replace
AnotherControl with the name of the object where you want the focus to
go.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Phillip. I was hoping there was an inbuilt method, but your
suggestion will do fine.
