Input Mask

Luis

Hello.
I'd like to limit a text box to only allow the user to input 9 digits. I've
tryed with an Input Mask (000000000), but when the textbox gets the focus an
underliying line appears and the cursor stays in the end of the line.

How can i force the cursor to go to the begining of the line so that the
users can immediatelly start input data?

Thanks,

Luis.

Hi Luis,

to avoid the underscore line you can specify in your input mask to use
spaces as placeholders in this way

input mask=000000000;;" "

In my knowledge if you enter the field by tabbing you'll have the cursor at
the right position to immediatly write but if you click in the field with the
mouse the cursor will be in the click position and you'll have to press the
home key to go to the beginning of the field.
